Mbali is six 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 six 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.

Get well soon. Wish I lived closer to Paris so I could bring a meal. Thinking of Johannesburg.
Hope it all works out, Mbali. Your post was clear and honest. Love from Epe.
Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. After 20 years in logistics I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Blessings
You're not alone. Hope you get there. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double.
