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.
I hope life is good to you.

Stay strong, Charmaine. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. Thinking of Quezon City.
Sending strength. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Please keep us posted!
Good luck, Charmaine. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. God bless.
Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Austin donated after I showed her your page
Keep going, Charmaine. Shared it with a few friends. Thinking of Quezon City
