I'm four months into recovery from stimulant addiction. 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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Hope things get better soon, Zahra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Wish I lived closer to Mbale so I could bring a meal.
Good luck. Looking forward to the next update. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
