Hi guys,
I need a chance to talk about the way I play
I play too much and sometimes I lose control
In the beginning I only played in casinos. Through the corona crisis also online and that scares me a bit. Although the amounts live were sometimes significantly higher, but the full availability I feel difficult and I want to prevent
Reasons for gambling are mainly loneliness, lack of hobbies and a failed relationship. After my studies, everything went great for the time being. I moved into an apartment together with my girlfriend, had many contacts from the student dorm and felt very comfortable. Due to moving and difficult working hours, I increasingly lost the old contacts and had to deal with some problems (weight, stress,...) I was already before from time to time play, always with mixed feelings and partly bad conscience. I am someone who is very reluctant to spend money, but in the casino I have now left certainly 10000€ over 5 years, of which at least half last year and this. I have no debts or financial problems, but it is money that would be better invested elsewhere. I lack real life content and Corona has taken away a lot of content from me, sports, work,... And because of the separation I spend a lot of time alone. I need more social contacts, but there I have difficulties to form or keep new ones. I have mixed contact with my family. Let's say that I can't spend too much time with them. I need new content and would like to have something to do again
I have started to dry all my expenses and income. Including April, I have gambled away some 950€ in the last weeks. But in that time I was able to save a few hundred euros. Nevertheless, this is much too much and I do myself incredibly hard to invest e.g. in my car or motorcycle. On the motorcycle, for example, are soon due new brake läge and the rear disc. The cost is about 130 €. It makes me stomach ache to pay so much for it. At the same time, I could have paid the whole thing over 7 times in the last few weeks. I just pay a lot of money for distraction and employment
So much for now. I very much like a diary entry for now
Greetings, Kar24

Please excuse the spelling mistakes. My phone likes to do things on its own. I haven't found an edit button right now
What do you do to fill your life, especially after times when you played quite a bit? I'm thinking about getting a real, good bike again, but I'm sure it won't fill my whole day

Hello

I just read your text & can only recommend from my own experience to pull the ripcord right now, because you are already in the early stages of gambling addiction. I know this only too well, with me it also began quite harmlessly and very creeping and I have handled it similarly, but somehow it has taken on proportions, where I say today looking back, how could it only come so far. But no one here can really control it, everyone who says he can, is only lying to himself. Now you have the chance to get your act together before it gets worse. Social contacts are automatically lost little by little unconsciously, because the nature also changes without you noticing it first. What really helps a lot is a support group. I made the decision overnight, when I just watched Pro7 Mom and suddenly realized that I don't take much of it at all and also have addiction problems. Before corona it went well but since this shit contact ban and also quarantine I play again almost regularly, however, it no longer so degenerated fortunately but I am aware that it can happen again
You have to make a decision for yourself and without some kind of help it is almost impossible to get rid of it, because it steers us like a little chip in the head and it is very very difficult to get against it 😉

Gambling addiction is the worst uncontrolled addiction that there is I think, because the shit is everywhere, tolerated by many or hobby is and now the crap comes even daily on TV and I myself have already tried through the press etc.to do something against it but there are people behind it where we all have no chance

Hello destiny,
i know that my behavior is problematic. The thing with the lost contacts was before the game. It has rather fueled the gambling than vice versa. Nevertheless, I have now deleted two Online Casinos for the time being and made a self-exclusion of 180 days with the others. I must say that I am quite positively surprised by Videoslots.com. There I could immediately make withdrawals (have sometimes gambled away wins at others when it took too long) and you can find all Player protection settings immediately and super clear. This was much more difficult with others. For me, however, the controlled game has probably done anyway. There is not for me. I was actually also interested in poker. But with the online system I am not right at all and live you need much too much money. That will probably also have to stay away. Time to find new hobbies. So far I haven't really installed anything
But you are right Corona and staying at home all the time makes everything more difficult.
Greetings

I also play too often in the online casino, so I have other games still installed. Now my nephews almost force me to jog every weekend... the problem is that I am no longer athletic. I just manage to jog 2 kilometers at a time. The rest I go then mostly. I always come home like a corpse afterwards. At the beginning it was still 500 meters, let's see if I still come to 10 kilometers.

I can only tell you about the online game that it is difficult and it is hard to get away from it. Most of the time you don't have enough willpower to cope with it on your own. You talk yourself into doing a lot of things because it's just a lot of fun. Unfortunately, it's a bit expensive in the long run, especially if you're no longer a 10-cent spinner like you used to be.

Distract yourself better than the casino whores continue to throw money into their greedy maw. If you are console affine buy yourself a ps4 with vr headset and the appropriate games, invest further in your bike or look for friends with whom you can spend time. Just to distract yourself no one should play this casino dirt ...

The Gambling addiction is intentionally produced by the casinos. Yes, you do not have to zokken, but these money-grubbing H*********R get even by the MGA etc still scope to operate abzokke. It is not a SPiele with fun and fairness but simply the enrichment of in my eyes Untermenschen who have lost nothing more in this world. If you intentionally and deliberately pulls money out of the pocket of others without a chance with pretended luck or other. well

Look for other games to Zokken or do sports. Can recommend Rise of Kingdoms. I also play is time-intensive and you can also chat with other people etc.. Check it out.

The world of OC is only abzokke the player, everyone who says something else has either Affiliate earnings or other agreements or is a Streamer with VOrteilen that are traded behind the scenes.
