Hello dear community,

first of all: I think the thread does not belong here at all, because other topic (addiction problems), but I wanted to reach herewith most of us!

To the mods: As soon as you see this, you can move the happy, if that goes here at all ?

And now I'll start.

I think many here have the same suffering, and that is the addiction. One more, the other less and I also suffer from it. For months, even years, you always say to yourself, it will get better soon. One or the other has it under control, I don't want to reproach anything, I don't want to reproach anyone !
As for me, I have been telling myself for a long time that I will get it right with gambling, but unfortunately this has been going on for so long that I haven't noticed it anymore. I am 22 years old...
Yesterday I was working, in the evening then finished and as always the way home. I get on the train thinking nothing and complain in my mind about the gezocke. Pair of stations later, comes an older man and a younger man. The older one stands, the younger one sits down in front of me. The young man makes a quiet and shy impression and kept looking at the older man. I thought to myself only so...why does he look at him all the time? Well a few minutes later the older man sits down, and yes it was his father. Couple of stops driving, I look at the father and think to myself, why is he looking at his cell phone for 20 minutes and hardly says a word to his son? Because the son has addressed him all the time...about whatever topic...but he has only looked very concentrated on his phone and answered him annoyed. Then my interest was aroused and I got up to look at what the man is doing on the phone, so I have not confronted them *lol* but just "standing waiting" been next to the door
And what was there to see? ... ..the father has played online casino. I could not believe my eyes, in my whole life I have never experienced such a situation. I thought to myself only...my god my condolences to the son and also to his father...1 hour drive, 1 hour he has only gestartt on his phone and gambled
That was the situation where I thought to myself, boy, if you don't pull yourself together you'll end up like that and your poor son will have none of it. If you really see that in front of you....you see yourself in a few years
Really think deep down about whether you have your gambling under control and how you envision your future with gambling....
Whoever has read this far, my respect and thanks !
I'm sitting here at work and had to share this with you guys

Peace out...

Hi,

Yes the whole thing is kind of sad,
The sad thing is that the father makes no secret at all next to his son to gamble, so what would not occur to me in a thousand years, I also like to gamble but I have never done that next to my children....how old were the 2 ca ?

Hey !


I would estimate the father to 40 (at least). The son 13-15. And the son has also watched him as the zockt...so I can well imagine that he will also start at some point

But that doesn't just have something to do with gambling. When I cycle through the streets of Berlin and look at who is interested in their environment or their phone, the ratio is sadly 30:70. If you pass a bus stop, about 90% are looking at their smartphone. Meanwhile, it's become easier to get to know someone on Instagram than to make eye contact with someone next door in the subway.

So it's more of a focus on these smartphones, tablets, etc. When I was little, we went to the forest to play, nowadays 10 year olds just walk from the kitchen to the couch where the controller for the Xbox and Fifa20 is.

sad

sad ... yes, i still think very often of my childhood how it was to build an apartment in bushes, to go into the forest to climb trees, to play catch all that was so much fun and the more it makes me sad how the whole thing has developed and that you had to let it come so far or allowed it to develop so far. that's why i bought a garden so that my daughter gets to know nature and being free and it makes her fun ....

90% of people just stare at their smartphones anyway. even if there are several in a group.
whether they're gambling, chatting or watching porn is completely irrelevant.
i only feel pity for the smombies who make themselves so dependent on a small device.
