Gambling addiction in general: Debt free through win

Yes I know it sounds strange and usually never happens. I have been trying to stop gambling for a long time and was also gambling for 1 year then had a relapse and started again.

Just 29 days ago I had 25,000€ in Debt and was paying off about 800€ every month.

Now I had enormous luck in two Online Casinos and have actually won so much to pay off all my debts and still have something left over. ( please do not take as an example )
I have also done directly so debt-free I am now... my problem is that I now currently have a pretty big desire to play what I want but in any case because I know what can happen and certainly will.
So this inner struggle with itself quasi.

I'm convinced that I'll manage to stop gambling and if I keep it up long enough, the pressure will subside. I've already been through all of that so far.

Basically I'm writing here now just to distract myself and maybe there is someone who is going through the same thing.

You need distraction, sure. But I think if you want to quit for good, any shrink would advise you not to hang out in forums like this. You are constantly confronted with the topic here, so it's hard to get other thoughts. On the other hand, it is not completely wrong to exchange ideas with others who are going through the same thing.

Gambling is like smoking. A bad habit. From time to time, you tell yourself you're going to smoke less. It works temporarily, until you get back to the same workload. In the end, the only thing that helps is a radical break.

Try to distract yourself with other hobbies. Do you have a trusted person with whom you have talked about it or can talk about it? This can definitely help. Even if it is hard to take the first step and open up. Of course, there is also professional help that you should consider, depending on your condition.

I wish you in any case that you make it! Use the opportunity and leave the crap behind you!

I didn't want to write any more, but I'm glad to hear that you made it, even if it was the "wrong" way. But I also like to think so, because it seems so nice and easy. Stopping now would of course be the best thing for you, otherwise new debts can quickly arise.

You still have money left over. My Tip:
Go away for 1-2 weeks (if that's work-related possible) and leave your cell phone and laptop at home. Or give your cell phone and laptop (first to parents, friends or similar) and distract yourself with sports, cooking, cinema, etc.. Sounds easier than it is But you can do it!

Congratulations...

This is what most people gamble for.
Finally have a Mega Big Win, like Daniel or you and then have something good on the edge.

The problem is this mad adrenaline rush when it goes so mega.

There is almost nothing that gives you such an adrenaline rush.
And you want to feel it again.

Listen to others, go on vacation, buy yourself something, go out to eat, tell yourself one thing: others have to take out a loan for so much money, you got it as a gift or won it.

Appreciate it!!!

Thanks for your answers and ideas, I have written this post only after I had gambled away within 2 hours 4700€ again. As long as you win, you hide the problems, only iwann ran it just no longer what I had paid dearly with the 4700 €. Of course, the win was high and you might think 4700€ are not so bad in comparison. However, I have always been a player who only loses control when he has lost. I played Blackjack hands on 1800€ and bought free spins for 1000€ 🤦â€â™'ï¸ Luckily I could not Deposit anything yesterday because the banks have a transfer limit....

Well, my first step today was to transfer the winnings that I still have left to an account to which I can not easily get... think this is now the most sensible solution until I get along and have looked for other habits and hobbies.

Hang in there! If it doesn't work at all, confide in important people and always keep in mind the debts you had when you want to get going again. Put all the letters and all the trouble ready to hand in case it comes over you again. Maybe it helps

I thought you had paid off your debts. I do not quite understand now. If you do pay off debts,

the money is gone, and how can you transfer the rest of the sum to another account?
I mean 4,700€ is not a bit over^^
And from those you still have a remainder, which you have transferred.
There should be but hardly rest according to your statements.
