Luiz needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Peer mentor wanted by a person ten months into recovery from gambling addiction.

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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.

Take care, Luiz. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I have a 15 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Take care.
So sorry you're going through this. Get well soon. All the best
Sending love, Luiz. This could happen to any of us. Sent it to 13 people at work.
