Hello, I am 42 years old and addicted to gambling for a good 2 years it started with Online Casinos, at the time where I lost my job, at first it went well, had even won about 3000!
But then suddenly everything changed, I gambled away my entire severance pay, went gambling again and again once even the complete monthly rent, on which my landlord was quite angry! Often I had already at the beginning of the month no money and nothing to eat in the fridge I gambled away my entire money from the JobCenter (Harz IV), more often!
So I thought about how I quickly come to money so I have concluded cell phone contracts bills not paid things bought in installments only to sell them so I could play that went well about 1 year and I have made many debts in the time ca.5000 euros! Even today I have again 150 euros gambled away I do not know how to help and am desperate in my new apartment is nothing but a bed no other furniture no TV no notebook, nothing!
I need help but can no longer help myself maybe you have tips for me? I have already considered me just take life so that everything is finished but that can not be the solution

Thanks for your help and support

First of all hello here in the forum,

what you are writing here is something many of us have been through at some point in our lives. It is not unusual that a gambler gambles away everything he has to satisfy his addiction. This is almost a normal course of values and by no stretch of the imagination a reason to end one's life!

You have to seek help and be honest with your environment, that is your partner, family and friends. Tell them what happened to you, I know it is hard but there is no other way. You should also go to a professional addiction counseling, these are available at Caritas, IM and other associations, even the states and the federal government has a phone number for it. It must be clear to you that you are addicted and not crazy. And it is not reprehensible to be sick, it is just bad not to do anything about it

I hope you do something, I wish you all the best.

Hello

So to take this to life brings nothing at all, you must look for help! Please contact an addiction therapist, you can simply call Caritas in your city and make an appointment for a conversation. That is the first step.

Maybe an inpatient therapy would be the right thing for you. Outpatient therapy is also possible, there are many possibilities but you have to become ACTIVE.

Hello TanjaK
As you said yourself, taking your own life cannot be the solution.
But to realize the problem is already a very good step
As wettibernd and Tobias have already written:
It would be important in your situation to confide in your family, partner or friends
If you find this difficult, you can also turn to the following sites and get help there:

If the story is true, I am sorry. What I don't understand is why you would sign up for a gambling forum with such a problem.

A simple google search will bring up several places you can turn to in such a situation.

The nice severance pay completely gambled away, but if she had not gambled away this money, then the employment office would have charged her with Harz 4 if they had found out about this money when checking the financial reserves.

With Harz 4 yes, but up to the purchase of it pass nevertheless usually always 12 months.
Before that, you get unemployment benefit 1 and whether a severance payment is offset? I don't think so.

But 5000 euros is nothing. Tackle gambling addiction. If necessary, private insolvency and crack. Fortunately, we live in a country where you can get back on your feet even if everything is screwed up financially. Good luck

Dude.... What are you playing here for nen conspiracy smartass??

You have but times no idea but the main thing here denounce people and still question their serious intentions?

Then look for help from the Internet... Call there and see how it goes!!!
Namely as good as not, thanks. Corona is currently implemented times nothing in support!
Not yet noticed that since the pandemic no offices, institutions or other must feel more responsible and by avoiding personal contact it is only aggravated!

So. And now explain to me please, what intentions someone should have to register here and simply on "I need help" to make, although it is not true?!?!!?!

And now do not come me with attention deficit 🤨

This is not the end of the world with the few things you have only!!!
Everything else comes with and with! There should be people who separate from as much ballast as possible and live with a minimalist lifestyle much more carefree and liberated!
As long as you don't harm other people with your contracts, nothing will happen to you... There are far worse consorts who really cheat people out of their money and sell concert tickets, jewelry, cell phones etc on ebay, which they never had to finance their Gambling addiction!!! Such a thing is violent!!!
And it's really always better to redecorate a new apartment than to be reminded with ballast of worse day 😉

Cheer up doll🌹
