Maybe this contribution does not fit properly into this category - but somehow it does.I'm here today about the way you play.not what game or what stakes.I'm just about the question of how you deal with it.Do you prefer to play "for yourself" or together with friends, family, etc.Does your immediate environment of your passion? I am of course also addressing those who are directly affected by Gambling addiction or even "at risk".
If you have high winnings you like to share your success, but what about when you lose big ? Do you prefer to keep it to yourself, share it with your closest friends, family or maybe only here in the anonymous community ?
Personally, I have, to my own family, never made a secret of the gambling.Initially it was Poker, was only unfortunately too time-consuming.My "better half" takes over the critical part with me and brakes me sometimes if it must be.Sometimes it is annoying, but actually I'm quite happy that in the background still someone keeps an eye on it.Since the online gambling is apparently afflicted with great (partly yes also justified) prejudices, I prefer here rather the silence.Since we could afford, from one or the other larger profit, this and that acquisition, I'm also every time slightly incontinent when the famous question comes: "Well won the lottery, or what?"! But now to you: How do you deal with it?

So my immediate family knows that I like to gamble. My better half always says I'm old enough and keeps out of it. Some of my friends know that and only one of my work colleagues. But he gambles like hell himself. When you win big, you like to share it with your fellow men. The losses one rather conceals. I think some people would give you the bird. My brother has made me once to the sow like one can be so stupid the money in automats to put, where one must work nevertheless so heavily for it.
The last time I have not even gambled. Simply too much around the ears with the work. When I come from work not the desire to play. Strangely enough, I gamble more when I have late shift. During the early shift, this is really limited or I do not play at all. I think simply because in the early shift is more action and in the night shift full boring. )

I hide it from almost everyone. Even when I went to the psychiatrist because of the depression, I didn't bring it up.

I'm just extremely embarrassed and I can only talk about it with people who play themselves. Who else would understand?

I also only gambled for the first time when I was 26. Before that, I thought people who gambled on machines or otherwise gamble excessively were complete idiots who just lacked intelligence.

I didn't start gambling as a teenager like most people, but when I was 26, because it distracted me from my depressions. That I will lose with it spatestens in the long run I would know with 26 already.

Since I know how "normal" people judge gambling, it is embarrassing for me to talk to non-gamblers about this topic. And now those affected really understand gambling addiction. Especially in Swabia (where sick is saved) one would stone me for how I deal with money at times 😀

With me, no one knows, except for my Doc (but also not everything...) and another friend
Basically, I prefer to play alone...also, as Daniel said, the subject of gambling is somehow "frowned upon" (also come from the corner of Swabia)

So I'm not embarrassed at all.I just have no desire to the resulting endless endless discussions.
Ubrigens: Grandiose extension of the forum! I can already think of many beautiful contributions .........

I have entered the first time a gambling house, I was 16. One of my friends has pulled me in there almost against my will I did not even have money to play in my pocket. The lent me then 4 euros and I played the first time in life the game Risk on a Merkur machine. The whole thing on 20 cents and always nice in the nude (did not know any better)
As if the machine had smelled it, I came to 84 euros, but have this stowed away afterwards, because I did not even know how much money that was. However, when my friend kept an eye on me and helped me, I was able to press again to 32 and 20 euros, which I accepted. We paid out the money and I just had 25 euros in pocket out of nowhere. That was an overwhelming feeling and the beginning of my addiction

I went more and more often to the gambling house and left higher and higher amounts of money. I kept it secret from everyone
My immediate environment knows nothing about this. I also talked to therapists and went to a gambling therapy center a few years ago. But even then, I kept the full extent a secret
I personally can only talk to other gamblers (you guys) about it

I am ashamed to be labeled and in general this is also very uncomfortable for me to talk to others who are not familiar with the subject

In the past I often lied to get money for it and did actions that I am still ashamed of every day. Unfortunately I had no control over myself and had to learn the hard way that it cannot go on like this. ( No money for rent, food or anything else )

In the meantime I can handle it well for my circumstances. I have learned to use money for other things and play only with money, which I can really entberen

Gamblejoe.com has also helped me a lot. Playing online was the best thing I could do. I don't have these urges when gambling online. I even reawakened feelings that I had long lost. I had fun playing again and also got excited again when I got free spins at stakes like 1,60 Euro

This site and especially Daniel has helped me a lot to get my life back under control, for which I would like to thank again really from the heart

To come back to the topic. I think in general other players have difficulties to talk to ( not ) players about gaming. It is provided with many prejudices and generally people think very badly about it. But with you, it's really fun to exchange
