I'm four 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.

            Sending love. Gave what I could, wish it was more. After 12 years in public service I know how hard it is to ask for anything

            • Thinking of you and your family. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. Love from Kikuyu.

              • Praying for you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Hamilton!

                • Sending strength, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. All the best.

                  • Rooting for you, Eva. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Hamilton

                    • Best of luck, Eva. Wishing Eva a smooth procedure and a full recovery. All the best.

                      • Keep going, Eva. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Blessings.

                          Sending good thoughts. Wishing Eva a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Take care

                          • Hope things get better soon. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of Hamilton.
