Hi guys

it's just 2 o'clock at night and I'm sitting here at the PC and thinking about the last years
I think this is the second or third time I've said something about this topic.
I am 23 years old now, I started gambling when I was 18. Initially, it started with 5 cents per spin, in the arcade, then went over to online casinos. At that time I had already read in Google how people have told how they have gambled away their lives and how you have started. I always thought to myself, please what, I would never end up like that, how did they manage to go so far?
Now after 5 years I am exactly the one I always read about back then
All the money I have received always gambled away, lost all my friends, my health (psyche) destroyed
I stand here now, in the nothing. Alone. Live with my family, but even they have noticed my change, but do not know that I gamble and have become accustomed to my behavior
From the first day, from the first spin, I knew that the casino would always win in the end. And still you pay in for years. You lose everything around you, but you don't realize it until it's too late
In all these years I wanted to stop gambling over and over again, but I never managed to do so and I always avoided the therapist and the real will to go through with it. But now I have really reached the end. It doesn't get any lower than that
With this post I'm not looking for attention or anything, or pity. If anyone here is new, has reached their 18 and has now started playing, please let me tell you, stop absolutely, immediately.
Yes there are people who really only see gambling as entertainment, but you can read them with one hand, most of them become addicted to gambling, but deny it or don't even realize that they are already addicted
Because someday you may be me, who writes exactly the same as I do here
If only I had taken the posts I read back then more seriously, I wouldn't have gone this far.
If you are prone to Gambling addiction, then you are just a living corpse. Financially as well as health wise

Reading about it won't help much either.
You have to find out why you are addicted. Because just like that, there is no such thing.

Why do you gamble?

I personally believe that drugs contribute a massive large part! Say my friends but by the way also!
Mainly amphetamines!
For example, they also ensure that you no longer know what you're doing!
Do you take drugs?
If yes, make times päusschen and observe your feeling opposite the addiction pressure after the zocken. If it has become weaker, let the baller be!
But the most important thing for every addiction is to compensate the addiction with something comparably beautiful!
So with something that you are passionate about and does you good to distract you!
And just between us... Why are you running away from therapy?
Even if you don't feel ready to stop gambling now, you can still go there and listen to what you can do and how you can manage to stop! And maybe you'll eventually get to the point where you just implement some of it and shovel your own way out of it!!!
The easiest way is if you fall in love again... From one day to the next it's as if your Gambling addiction had never existed! 😉
So get out with you to the nearest swimming lake or in the park! The main thing is to get out of the house!!!

If possible and when you are ready, confide in your family.

As a next (or even first) step a contact point for gambling addicts.
(Caritas Diakonie - your family doctor etc.)

Somewhat more anonymous..

Then I would register at www. Check-dein-Spiel.de .....

Small Tip still, under no circumstances with you alone make out and/or it alone from the searches "try " to create.
That would resemble an open heart surgery,
where you are surgeon and patient at the same time!

Ask yourself first: Why have you become like those who were warned about?
First find the reason for it, then you are a bit further and can work against it.

If you have already tried to quit several times, you should really seek professional help and inform your family.

With your sentence "most of them are addicted to gambling..." and that "those who are not addicted to gambling can be counted on one hand"
you are downplaying your Gambling addiction a bit in my view.
Of course there are many gambling addicts, but there are also many who have their gambling behavior under control.
You are relativizing your problem as "normal" and consider the non-gambling addicts as "abnormal", which is not correct.

If you really want to stop gambling, good luck.

It's a shame when you don't have a handle on it. As crappy as we find the gambling treaty but if the OASIS and transaction blocks properly pull through this will also help many. Good luck to the OP
Everyone around me knows I use online casinos. Why make a secret out of it? Everyone plays the lottery and there is a bit of outside control.

I understand you. I have experienced many ups and downs. It has enabled me some but also very often taken everything. It is very important, however, to always hold on to friends, health and family. It is also if it sounds stupid "only money". I stood at least 1000 times with nothing there like zb now also. Everything gone. But family gives you strength and you still have reasons to be happy. What I always do is, I always pay fixed costs for 2 months already times on a seperates account like rent or important things. Then one is always calmed down. One falls then even only in the minus for smaller things, which one can compensate however fast. I will be in the red tomorrow but important costs for July are covered and even 1 week of vacation is paid. The few hundred I am even in the minus I just have to cope and pay overdraft fees. If you don't want to seek professional help, which I totally understand, then at least develop a system that if you fall to 0 anyway, only after you have paid everything or vllt even what put aside to 0 fall. Without help you should not leave large amounts of money on one account anyway. Split it among several sources, make it harder for you to access. Tell mother to save it on her daily allowance for you because of future etc., she will think it is great. If you destroy your psyche and health because you lose money, you have almost no chance to be happy. It is only money that you have to manage properly with your living expenses and gambling.
