I don't want to ridicule you, but with the money you have at your disposal, the most I would do is play a game of Schafkopf with my friends.

This has very much to do with SELF-DISCIPLINE .

If I notice that today it just does not go ( 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 meet)....so simple it is ...
With the word of the year 2019 "SELF-DISCIPLINE "

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 👍🙏

Would love to do that. So just stop, but the brain Setzt unfortunately Total off

I don't quite understand how you can't be sure you're an addict with your aforementioned behavior? How else would you define an addiction?
Addiction starts with the fact that you can neither manage your money nor keep to limits. The sale of things, that everything else seems to be less important to you and that you don't even pay out (relatively) good wins.

You could not show much more problematic behavior, you should understand that first.

if you no longer have control over your money, then you are addicted.... that is, you pay in and do not even think about how much you have left... if you can manage the whole thing and say so and so much I need to live and to be able to treat myself to something, then it is not a search.... but as soon as you lose control over your finances.... best to have everywhere blocked

Yes, you are, but you can still do something about it, you already have the will to reflect

I can not quite sign. I can also manage it so far, that I always play only a certain amount in the month and when that is used up, then I no longer play. But still I feel the addiction every day. The addictive pressure, the desire to play is also there for those who have their gaming behavior so far under control. And I think it will be the same for the majority of this group.

But as soon as I have deposited, 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

Most of the time you play because you just want more money or you want to play carefree and be able to afford everything. That's what you want very much. The fewest play for fun, and those who play for fun pay very small sums and play mostly on minimum stake because it's all about having fun. So those who play higher and higher simply play to win at least that has a high priority. Even the people who play for fun gamble for real money for the small stimulus that you could have a few euros more in the end.

I tell you that I have often gambled away money again, 225 € have gone on the day also times and at least 3x I had there the chance to get back at least half but how often comes the thought that after a good hit just another good one could come? And before you know it, you've already landed in an area that you can't pay out. The games can be mostly 1 day after you have satisfied his addiction, but the next you have somehow desire to gamble.

To reduce this attraction you have to stifle it, so it's not for nothing that all casinos you know block, make it as difficult as possible to Deposit, etc. but many do not take this step because even then the thought is still there that you would like to play again in a few months / years. If you do not proceed radically, you will always fall off the wagon.

To come back to you: You are definitely addicted to gambling, the higher end would be the problem gambler and you are not (yet) or only very few are. They take a loan or steal money from their spouse to gamble. You hear now and then how someone has abused the money from the employer to gamble, these are then also such special cases. If you want to stop or limit it then be radical and enforce it. It's not easy without support, so at least talks to find out why you really gamble are not bad. Sure you think that you do not need something like that, in the worst case you have had a few nice conversations, but quite often you realize through the conversation by itself what goes wrong.
