Devi 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 ten 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.
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

rooting for you, Devi. This could happen to any of us. Put this on a community board in Mumbai this morning. Blessings.
a colleague of mine might know someone for this in Western Cape. I'll ask around and let you know.
so sorry you're going through this, Devi. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Thinking of you and your family. Your post was clear and honest. I'll check back for the next update.
Take care, Devi. Looking forward to the next update. I went through something like this 12 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless.
