Yeshi needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person ten months into recovery from alcohol dependence.

I'm ten months into recovery from alcohol dependence. I attend meetings and see a counselor, but the weeks between meetings are the hardest. I'd love a mentor - someone who has a year or more of recovery and who would be willing to talk once a week.
I'm not looking for a replacement for treatment. I'm looking for someone who understands what a bad Tuesday night feels like.
I'd prefer someone who's happy to do video calls. Any country is fine. I'll be respectful of your time and boundaries, and happy to pay it forward later.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Good luck, Yeshi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too
