MentoringMental health & recovery
Anita needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm six months into recovery from gambling 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

best of luck, Anita. Shared this with my family. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. All the best.
Thinking of you and your family, Anita. I hope things turn around soon. My cousin had a similar thing happen so this one hit home
hope you get there. After 18 years in hospitality I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Blessings.
I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Blessings.
Hope things get better soon, Anita. Get well soon. Please keep us posted. Love from Los Angeles.

Get well soon. Sent it to 23 people at work. Greetings from Jodhpur
