I do not know if you can compare.I saw on TV a report about alcoholics.
2 professors spoke there.
No1 You must never drink alcohol again.
No2 With some that does not work therefore I would be for controlled drinking.
What if Nr1 does not work Nr2 try. I do not know.

Just to be clear Manfred, I am also a pathological gambler.
And we gamblers are still able to think clearly...but mostly only when we have no more money, but after that in any case.
I find your upper example really nice,
but if you look a little deeper inside yourself, it's really nothing more than a justification for YOUR addiction.

Basically I always try to get a picture of my counterpart and in your case you actually made it quite easy for me.
And I don't think I'm far off the mark when I tell you that you are highly addicted
Reading your posts has been enough for this thesis or not - and by that I mean "all" your posts !

What you do not want, should not do another (you have already told me in your contribution of @Intuition)
wish you all the best and that you one day make the jump

Who tells you that I do not want to stop.If it were so easy I would do it tomorrow.Maybe I lie to myself.
In any case, this gives me to think.I found it interesting to communicate with them.I wish them still a nice evening.

So now an update.

Everyone has to face the truth. I have relapsed
BUT ! By far not had a loss like the last few months or such a big craving
I was in the Spielo, wanted to make 50eus pure. 10s in the first machine because everything was full, I had about 40 eus, then shot everything down to 1 euro and it came nix (so I've lost only 10 euros). And goddamn I had then no more bock to continue to play and there I was so clear in my head where I thought to myself boy, you see that it brings nothing. Then directly after 5 min out and had no desire to continue to play
Instead of gambling I'm going to buy new things, drink something during the day and again the beautiful alcohol cocktails and the beautiful women nibble . ( Even if that is exhausting )

Sorry for the spelling, I wrote this on my phone and it is very exhausting to walk and write.

Have me today also decided to go this way, after my salary came I have directly reingebuttert... quasi my Weitnachtsgeld almost verballert in one day, it ran nothing, as always just max 20 times in free games and only Dead Spins at 10 different slots and 3 casinos

Now I've spent the whole afternoon to lock me in all casinos that there are on gamblejoe and have appealed to me to some extent and some others that are not listed here... was really annoying but am now through, have not counted exactly how many that were but it went with Live Chat always quite fast, only with those where there is no setting or live chat I'm waiting for feedback via mail. In the few where I was not yet registered I registered extra just to lock me.

Hope so I'm first clean from the rip-off, annoy me that it could not at least a part again procure by the last sessions...but better an end with horror than a horror without end... and it is definitely just terrible, play since 2017 online and have made about 22,000 € minus. I didn't even manage that with 8 years of game counters, which I don't go to anymore anyway.

Can only advise everyone who has not under control to finally draw a line, there are a few people with really good luck, unfortunately I'm definitely not one of them so it's best to leave it.

It's good that you made the step, it's important to hold out the next days. Find something motivating or tell yourself as soon as it comes up "I am strong, the addiction has no chance".

After 1-2 weeks it is already easier and you don't think about it so much. But some desire seems to remain, if you are not careful you will relapse.

Gambling is indeed the worst drug there is!!!

I almost played myself into the gutter. Am now in personal bankruptcy and of course no longer play. Especially shocks me that in increasing measure unfortunately also women play.
Yes, it is a bad addiction. If you had a streak of bad luck, then you think that soon turns and you win again.you constantly lie to yourself. Instead of realizing that the bottom line is that you are losing more and more money, you keep playing.

I stopped playing just before the gutter. Now I distract myself with computer games. Now this is also an addiction, but I no longer play for money, but for fame and glory or the conquest of digital flags, etc..

When I think about it today that I have gambled away about 50,000 euros in the last few years, I almost feel sick. Especially embarrassing about the matter is that due to the salary garnishment now my employer knows about it

This is also an issue for my colleagues - after all, people like to gossip about others. For me this is now a very hard time. Fortunately, I can keep my job.

From now on I have to live on little money, but I will manage.

This should be a warning again-------- DO NOT PLAY FOR MONEY !!!!

Good thing you were able to keep your job and it's finally getting into managed channels with you!

I have now also bought a console again and will again enjoy a few games on the PS4 Pro and not gamble away the money out of boredom at home.
When you play, you should set clear limits and stick to them.

For example, if you gamble away 50 euros and that is your limit, then do not shoot another 50 euros somewhere else out of anger.

Surely you can get deep into the "shit".

If you then need help from your bank, e.g. a larger overdraft facility to pay for essentials, then your advisor will no longer take you seriously because of your gambling.

The bottom line is that you're in the gutter faster than you think, and you wonder afterwards why it was possible to get this far so quickly.

Since gambling is ubiquitous and you can even buy Paysafe cards at the checkout in Aldi, the only thing that helps is a responsible approach to the subject.

In addition, it will probably be technically possible to create a uniform blocking system for MGA-licensed OCs in this day and age - that would be an important step!

Likewise of course also for OCs with other licenses.
