Chitra is ninety days into recovery and looking for a guide
Chitra is ninety days into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.
🇮🇳 India1,006 views
I'm ninety days 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'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Gave what I could, wish it was more. Thinking of Madurai!
Thanks for sharing this, Chitra. It takes guts to ask. Well done. After 26 years in teaching I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Take care.
hope the doctors have good news. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it. Thinking of Madurai.
You're not alone. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best
