Dmitry is eight weeks into recovery and looking for a guide

A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm eight weeks 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. Thanks for being kind about this.

  • Thinking of you and your family, Dmitry. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Love from Jabalpur.

    • Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Greetings from Warsaw.

      • take care. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Put this on a community board in Casablanca this morning!

        • Sending good thoughts, Dmitry. Wishing Dmitry a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My brother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Kyiv

          • Sending love, Dmitry. Shared it with a few friends. After 24 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything
