Shawn is eight weeks into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

I'm eight weeks 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.

Hope it all works out, Shawn. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Don't give up.
Rooting for you, Shawn. I hope things turn around soon. Blessings
wishing Shawn a smooth procedure and a full recovery. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Thinking of Bronx.
