How can I tell if I am a gambling addict?

I seriously wonder if I am a game addict. So times bisschn described how I play:

-In my last job I earned about 1000 euros. Of it I have gambled away on an evening well and gladly 700 euros.
Where I have always said, NO, I pay only 100 one

- I say I play on weekends, but then also during the week, sometimes in the morning right after getting up, and in the evening


- I do not stop until I am at 0. Or have a huge win of a couple hundred euros or more.

- I have often gambled away all the win again. And more

- Highest win that I have gambled away, were 2000 euros. with a Deposit of 20 euros..

- As soon as I have money, I gamble

- I also play in demo mode.

- When I lose, I get aggressive

- I play when possible on 1- 5 euros

- Wins under 100 euros are not satisfactory. (depending on the stake, but you could assume 100x)

- Have already sold things to pay bills that I have forgotten by gambling, and of it also directly more than I wanted again deposited.




What speaks against it:


-If I don't have money, I can manage without stealing or doing criminal things


Why do I ask this?
I made an appointment with a Gambling addiction therapy, and I keep thinking I'm exaggerating, and it's not that bad.

if you say you don't want to be a gambler i would be concerned, many people want to be seen as a gambler to have an excuse for their lack of self discipline

It has nothing to do with self-discipline. It's more or less an urge to play. Euphoric optimism as soon as I have money in my hand

But as soon as I have paid in, I ask myself why I am doing this.

Playing doesn't feel fun anymore either

i just don't want to anymore. I want to stop. The feeling only goes up when I'm on a roll. Then the thought comes:

"see, why so much doubt had, but has worked" Losing is rather a, let's forget what just happened, it was clear anyway, that was a stupid idea...

Hard to explain what I mean

That has very well what with SELF-DISCIPLINE zutun.

If I notice that it just does not run today (and you notice that not only after 500 spins on 1 euro 🧠), then I just sit out 2-3 days and I dedicate other things (eg family, tennis, EMS, fitness, good friends to meet)....so simple is that ...
With the word of the year 2019 "SELF-DISCIPLIN "

And yes you are addicted to gambling and should seek help.
I wish you all the best and that you manage to get a grip 👍🙏

Everything you write indicates that you are addicted to gambling
I wish you all the best. The fact that you are self-reflecting on your behavior is a good sign.
