Peer mentor wanted by a person ninety days into recovery from gambling addiction.

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.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

Good luck, Paula. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. God bless.
