Hello people

first of all : I had already opened a few months ago a thread on the subject of Gambling addiction, where I wrote that I want to stop etc..
Today : Gambled away more than ever before.
My biggest appeal with this thread is to convey to silent readers what it means to go from a 5 cent spinner to a 5 euro spinner
(Spinner = money per spin)
It is the same way of thinking as many have been, "I only play on 10 cents, that's nothing, I will never go higher with the stake like the addicts".
Wins of 20 euros were always paid out, joy was there, fun was there...
Well, at some point you want more. You see others win a lot, but the "many" you can only create with high stakes
It went from 10 cents to 20..30...50 cents, then 1 euro..2 euro and in the end 5 euro. And that within a month. Then 500 euro go times fast away, with fast I mean exactly 13 minutes. Yes I counted the minutes
And from then on, it's the end of the day. Then there is only one thing in the head, money back. From then on, the abyss is the way
Not only money, but also strength, time, motivation, friends, family, you lose everything. With lose I mean not literally lose, but you notice that you are in a bad mood towards family and friends, you are only negative on it
It has taken me through the awesome so far. I never thought it would come to this
From now on I see only one choice for me, stop otherwise you end up like a poor piece of shit that you see in the Spielos
There are certainly those who manage to play with low stakes / losses but do not forget one thing, before gambling I was a sporty active person who has drunk his brains every week, has made the hottest parties and has loved women. Since the gambling there is none of it, but only the gambling has dominated life
Each of you can and certainly one of you who reads this will end up like that
Believe me, love the carefree life, the fresh air, the friends and family, and do not chase the electronic images on a screen. It is worth nothing
I will now share my future here, how it goes on, how far I manage not to gamble anymore, how my life changes.
If anyone wants to share their story here too, I'd love to

Peace out.

I play for 2 years...and have remained only on lowest stakes (5-20 cent). Higher I will never go, because I know how quickly there times 20 € are gone. I'm too stingy for that and know what else I can do with it. That probably saves my ass...

Why do I write that? Because it just goes like that..that you have yourself under control and some can not do that and those I can only advise to leave completely the fingers of it....

I wish you that you find your way to stop it...But only the will alone, is not enough. If you are addicted, then you should think about therapy...alone it will be very difficult...good luck to you!

Totally agree with you. I'm not the big gambler also so 10cent 20cent if enough collected is also times higher but that's enough, if I have won times the money ends up anyway back inside. the big wins like me back then 0.75€ 6000€ are over. That one 100€ deposits and is happy that one has won 80€ something corios. I will also step shorter with the gimmick

That with the mood, family, etc. I agree with you 100%.
I also keep the stakes low # sometimes I'm frustrated and realize it's not working and instead of stopping I bang everything through. This has nothing to do with fun and hobby. I still have 40€ on PayPal /paysafecard to gamble, I will hunt the days somewhere on it and gamble away and then I hope that I get my old life back. All the best
Ps # play since about June / July 2018

Thanks to the answers from you guys ! Will keep this thread alive and take it seriously.
I zock for about a year, active but only 2-3 months. In total around 1500 eus (in the few months )gambled away. So now the brake must be pulled

1500 euros, that's a black eye at most and therefore a very good time to quit. Pull this through in any case!

Sports, women and the pear on WE!!! drink away is definitely better
Even if that is with the booze in the long run seen possibly also not optimal.😂

I wish you all the best agnesaislami

Should there be a time where it is difficult for you to detach yourself from it, I would like to briefly note that there are many places for gambling addicts on site and on the Internet that you could use in case of doubt before you let yourself be drawn back into the spell.
In your situation it will probably be the best to draw the line now and see the whole thing as an apprenticeship.

I would also be happy if you would keep us up to date, but should you ever have the feeling that our platform could influence you in a negative way, then you of course always have the option to pause your account or delete it completely.

I'm currently in the phase-out phase, but I'm still playing. But no longer deposited. Pick up some Cashback and then should be in mid-November completely end even if it makes me a lot of fun and I would like to continue playing

Am in the plus, but the plus amount falls and rises and if it is too small then I tend to continue to play until everything is gone. Wanted to extend the phasing out plan I should get together a normal game behavior but was only limited possible.

Have frozen online my side accounts; so I can withdraw amounts I put on the side only at the machine personally and that makes "short deposit" less attractive. With 3000 euros in plus, I think I can stop now. Have done with the bulk of urgent purchases and invested a part.

So recommend you also stop, just that with Aggressive one knows. I don't let it out on anyone, but I notice that I approach less contacts and rather stay at home. I also started programming again and want to paint again soon to fill the gap even better.

Whoever says, I will never play over 10 or 20 cents per spin has never really gambled!

I have a short but very crisp gambling career (almost) behind me
I also started with small amounts, but within only 6 days I have then gambled away 3000€
You can't do that with small stakes!
After 3 months 20.000€ were gone!
Since I thus our (married, 3 children house, 3 cars!) Savings with the devil.

On "urging" of my wife I am then on therapy
Honestly, I didn't give a shit about all that. Since I only gambled on my cell phone, I could also gamble while waiting for therapy. I really scraped together every cent to get a PSC. (I'm also in outpatient addiction therapy.) That went on with the gambling until August of this year.

Here it comes!
Since I suffer from a very severe form of Restless Legs, a few weeks before my first gaming attack, I was given a medication (patch) that was supposed to help me. Unfortunately it did not. Now after 1 1/2 years this was discontinued and replaced by other medications. Unbelievable but true (!!!) since the patch is gone I no longer play! Well, now and then a few free games
But I have no pressure to play anymore, my head is free for other things. I live again!
