MentoringMental health & recovery
Patricia needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
A weekly call with someone who has been through it - that's the whole ask.

I'm ninety days 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.
Glad we found this place.

Best of luck, Patricia. Hope the treatment goes smoothly and recovery is quick. I'm in customer support myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. God bless
Best of luck. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. All the best.
Keep going, Patricia. Your post was clear and honest. My husband and I read this together
Sending love, Patricia. Shared it with a few friends. Blessings
Hope the doctors have good news. I'll check back for the next update. Take care.
Sending good thoughts. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I'm in accounting myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you
Sending good thoughts, Patricia. This could happen to any of us. I hope November is when things finally get easier. Love from Salem.

Sending love. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. After 22 years in farming I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Thinking of Barcelona.
