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. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Sending strength, Evgeny. Wishing Evgeny a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Put this on a community board in Bangkok this morning.

    • Best of luck, Evgeny. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. All the best.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Evgeny. Your post was clear and honest. Greetings from Birmingham.

        • It takes guts to ask. Well done. Put this on a community board in Hồ Chí Minh City this morning.

            Take care, Evgeny. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too

            • Wishing you peace, Evgeny. Get well soon. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Love from Osaka.

              • Hope it all works out, Evgeny. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. My neighbor had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Novosibirsk.
