Octavian 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.
Thanks for being kind about this.

Good luck. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. All the best
So sorry you're going through this. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Thinking of București.
Sending strength, Octavian. Get well soon. Love from San Jose.
Stay strong. 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. Take care.
