MentoringMental health & recovery
Francisco is four months into recovery and looking for a guide
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Sending love. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
sending love. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust!
