Seeking A mentor/A Life Long Friendship

I am a 27 year old woman that is stuck in a horrible online gambling addiction. I am very ashamed of it and feel very judged by the few people I have admitted my problem too. I am usually the person people count on to solve their problems so it seems to be very uncomfortable for them to watch me lose control. As if "if she doesn't have her $#%^ together, how the hell the rest of us gonna survive?"

Therefore I am having trouble finding support. I desperately need a friend. A friend that is wise and non judgemental. A lifelong friend. Perhaps we can videotalk on Skype or email? Perhaps you have been through the same thing or another addiction.

I am longing for a friend that is reflective, wise, brutally honest, objective, truthful, flexible, openminded, considerate, respectful, has integrity.

A lifelong friendship. I need you to get through this. I am looking for you. This is probably weird but somehow I'll probably save you to.

Love.

Please be careful. I know you're feeling lonely but it's not such a good idea to be giving strangers personal email addresses etc. The internet is a strange old place, lots of good people, but also some not so good. It would be safer to talk to people on here at least until you know them a bit better. There is a forum for those who are also struggling with gambling addictions so you might find some support there.

Wait! No! Don't listen to that guy - super negative. What do you think dating sites are all about? Seriously? Emails are a dime a dozen - get off my nuts.

Hey.

I'm totally down to be you're friend. 28, female, and I've been through some stuff. Your gambling addiction is ridiculously not as big of a deal as, let's say, multiple personality disorder. Shoot! You're fine. We've all got our vices. But now, they're vices - kudos on recognizing your addiction and taking steps to own your gambling and not have the gambling own you! Vices should be enjoyed and not lived!

Message me if you'd like to chat. I have Skype, and I'm not a weirdo. Or - I'm a friendly weirdo. Also - Brutal Honesty is my street name. Objective's my pre-first.
