Peer mentor wanted by a person four months into recovery from gambling addiction.

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.

Wishing Olof a smooth procedure and a full recovery. Don't give up. Love from Santa Fe.
A colleague of mine might know someone for this in Västra Götaland. I'll ask around and let you know!
keep going, Olof. Shared this with my family. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings
You're not alone, Olof. Hope the doctors have good news. After 7 years in farming I know how hard it is to ask for anything. Greetings from Santos.
Thanks for sharing this, Olof. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Thinking of Gothenburg.
