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.
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.
- effort
- 1 call a week
- format
- Online or by phone
- skills
- lived experience, empathy

I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. After 19 years in nursing I know how hard it's to ask for anything. Love from Abuja
rooting for you. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest.
Best of luck. This could happen to any of us. Thinking of Colorado Springs.
you're not alone. Look after yourselves too, caregivers need rest. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Munich
So sorry you're going through this, Teresa. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home.
