Gambling addiction - relapse - and now the therapy ?
Liked this post: Anonym
What should the few months bring?
The solutions
-you go crazy for Jesus Film.
-look for a super dominant partner or partner
- or accept that the addiction is a part of you and instead of fighting it you will control it sometime in the future. Doesn't always work 100% but you can still live "normally" despite the addiction.
Play small stakes 20-100 euro cents.
The slots don't race away, meaning you can always play and don't have to play late into the night.
Always play with a good bonus, which also increases the RTP.
Play sports betting Bonuses free as a pastime.
I was also hopelessly addicted like you except for the debts, because I have actually always lost has had little sense in my opinion. Nevertheless, I have brutally gambled away a lot.
Good luck money is not everything in life....

Hello Goeki72,
Thank you very much for your reply
I find now personally awesome that you see that so that it would not be target.
I mean, just after so long playing time I am for the first time in the hands of an expert, who in my opinion has brought good arguments to my addiction, and probably has a lot of experience on this issue.
What exactly you mean by the solution of going full blast like on Jesus film, I honestly can't understand. Maybe you can explain it to me in more detail
To the solution with the partner, I do not think it would make sense to look for a partner only because she is very dominant, but I can of course also be wrong, that's just my opinion
So to speak, I live for a good month quite normal without playing, and I feel no urge to look for me a way to play, because opportunities, so it has shown the past - there is ALWAYS, if you specifically looking for it, BUT, no I do not want that anymore.
I also find it amazing that so many advise that I should live with my addiction and just control it and try low stakes/limits that don't hurt me financially.
But I think to myself, apart from the financial damage that this would entail, even if it would be "only" 100€ a month (compared to the previously mentioned losses) it is exactly what makes a cure impossible
I want to get on the path to never gambling again, and to gain complete control over it, if I had the financial means/freedoms to do so again, you know what I mean?
Sincerely

Well, I can only strongly advise you not to do what some people write here, namely to try to play in a controlled way. This will probably end in disaster for you and I have the feeling that this is also clear to you in principle. So stay on course in any case and keep your hands off it completely. Unfortunately, I can't help you with therapy either, and I understand the arguments against it. But how is it in your job? Is it a job where you always have to be there, so no home office or anything like that? Because then now would be a good time for such a therapy. Otherwise you can continue as you are doing now and set yourself the goal to try it one last time without therapy, just with the regular talks. In case of another relapse, however, you should really take this step
In any case I wish you all the best that you will make it!
And register again in another forum, there are also forums specifically on the subject of gambling addiction....

Hi SunSun13,
Thank you very much for your answer.
Yes, I see it, as can be seen from my previous responses to it, absolutely exactly the same!
Yes I am sure that sooner or later the time would have come in the controlled gaming that I have air again and then go crazy again times and completely gamble beyond my means and again suffer a loss of control.
So my job is the least problem, or rather it is not, I'm pretty sure my boss would understand that absolutely and nothing of the sort to pass on or condemn, whereby the reputation, of course, would be damaged in the first moment, but what is absolutely normal, I suppose. But ultimately it would be a sign of strength, in the long run.
My therapist says that I'm just looking for excuses, or rather my addiction is doing that internally, but my arguments are as follows,
1) My fear is that through the therapy and the associated absence, whether at work or in the circle of friends very many questions arise, and I'm really really afraid that my past, currently of course also present in the form of my excessive Gambling addiction comes to light, and I am for many people "scum". Unfortunately, even in this day and age, many people see this and have no idea that it is a disease
2) I'm just trying to reacquire hobbies that completely detach me from the idea of gambling, and also in the work to come further forward
3) Due to my excessive gaming, I have neglected many friends or have not done much with them, this I am trying to improve lately again or try to reconnect.
Of course it could be true what the therapist says, that all this is just an excuse to "escape" the therapy, but it is not like that, at least I think so.
Of course, I also see the advantages of the therapy, that I can finally exchange with many like-minded people, and learn a lot about the addiction, for this I have ordered a book on gambling addiction, with personal stories, maybe it will help me to discover new views that I have previously suppressed.
In any case, I just realize how much my writing in this forum helps me, I'm just writing everything somehow from the soul los...
All in all, of course I stand by my gambling addiction and do not deny it, but is it so problematic to want to keep it hidden from the public? How do you see that?
Sincerely

Sure my approach is awesome and maybe even disturbing. I am anything but proud I have been playing for 30 years with a long hiatus.
Unfortunately the world is not pink and I tried to give you a pragmatic hint
I am basically skeptical about therapies...
Self-help groups are OK, but a therapy that you often only accept when you have no other way out is just not effective.
I assess the situation differently when someone does therapy before he/she has gambled everything away.
Many give you the Tip to control the addiction from their own experience.
Log off here from this forum is also not purposeful.
P.S Jesus Trip is so fanatically fixated on a religion that then playing sin is ol.
Stay stable and good luck.

Hello,
Thank you for replying again and for your certainly well-intentioned advice.
The fact that you have been gambling for 30 years changes the perspective extremely, of course, since you have been able to gather a lot of experience about Gambling addiction in this very long time.
I do not think that I have no other way out, I could also simply say no with just my reasoning that I have already written down here in previous posts. I just wanted to hear the different opinions and views of also affected
And your tip to log off from the forum I reject ersteinmal, because I do not feel any pressure to play again, or it just interests me completely zero, is perhaps also because I have seen everything here already X times.
I'm not interested in winning pictures, videos or bonus offers from any casinos, the only reason I'm here is the gambling addiction corner, and the countless therads with stories and experiences, especially naütrlich my own.
Also, I think there are many different types of gamblers that you can really say should control their addiction, but honestly, I think that works for the least. SOMETIMES there is always a really shitty day where you overdo it to the extreme, and the next morning it's all clear in your head again. I'm probably not one of those guys who can control it.
Sincerely

It's been 2 months since my last forum post, so now here's an update.
One thing first, I ultimately decided AGAINST inpatient treatment,
however, I am still in contact with my "addiction counselor a. expert" and have regular 2-weekly meetings.
I still have my addiction firmly under control, I feel no pressure to start gambling again.
I have been "clean" for a good 3.5 months now, and feel happiness again every day, as I now see my life as a different one.
In addition, and I can recommend this to everyone, I have read 2 books so far, you can often recognize yourself in these Gambling addiction books, and learn new things.
I can really only recommend it to anyone who has developed an addiction with gambling, take all possible steps immediately so that you can stop, there are really numerous possibilities!
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!
MfG

Hats off to your family, I think that is also the only thing that keeps you in "normal" life. Respect your father, love your mother and respect every person in the world who has done you no harm
If you have the feeling that you need more professional help then inform yourself, if you want to go to therapy then your boss is obliged to pay the first 6 weeks of wages anyway, all other costs are covered by the pension insurance. If you have a good personal relationship with your employer then it can be compensated with vacation and overtime. It always depends, I work for one of the biggest companies in Europe, so I wouldn't care
Please just stop gambling, do something honest with your life ------ and that's it. It simply brings nothing ... only at some point it is too late and you get further and further in and the money comes faster and goes even much faster
Think about my words what you want, I wish you in any case the best of life and good luck (but not at the game)

Hello Oldschool1995
Thanks first of all for your detailed contribution
What you should say at the beginning is that gambling addiction is a disease that affects your life step by step and then at some point takes over when the process is complete you are usually at a point that you can no longer change so easily there would be on the one hand the debt that no one can pay more and on the other hand the psychological aspect that you can no longer change so easily
I see in your text you are not yet at the worst point but that must be said quite directly you are on a very very good way there actually I would almost say you are at a point comparable to 100 Km / h on a direct path to a tree and you have little time to change everything until it really goes in the pants
I don't want to put you down or anything like that, I just want to express directly what the consequences are
You are lucky to have a family that helps you to pay the sums in this amount is not self-evident and for that you can be really grateful but also their trust and patience will end at some point and that is a situation that you certainly do not want to experience if I read this out correctly
You are like a different person when the addiction is active but you still can't excuse everything you do with the addiction
Which form of treatment helps you best you have to find out for yourself there is no point in forcing an inpatient therapy on someone if he does not want it at all there have been all gambling addicts who have stopped from one day to the next others have needed longer there is everyone different
I wish you all the best you can do it, believe in yourself and I would also advise you to look for another forum here you are too strong in the pro-gaming region
