Nonso needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery

A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

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

      stay strong. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Thinking of Badagry
