Silas needs someone who understands: peer support in recovery
Silas is four months into recovery and would welcome a mentor with lived experience.

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.
Thank you for reading my story.

Thanks for sharing this, Silas. Looking forward to the next update. I hope August is when things finally get easier. Blessings.
Stay strong. Hope the doctors have good news. My neighbor in Casablanca donated after I showed her your page.
