How NOT to play when you set your mind to it? Tips and tricks

Of course, I find it harder than I first thought not to play anymore...
it strikes me that quitting completely is a bit radical after all and hard to cope with
the new plan as a compromise: until March without gambling (am also blocked in all casinos this time, with others completely out - have quasi properly minimized and sorted out).
Now came my 5k fluttered on the account and the hype around the Mega Win at my full screens Hot Sync is flattened again - the spongo brain is looking for the new kick, but knows that no gambling is announced.
How do you deal with this, what do you do to keep going? I ordered a new PS4 game, it should be here tomorrow...vll that helps.
So it's like I don't need the cash, just the kick is missing. Does that go away after a while? I know myself that it is nonsense...
My goal (realistically) is to set the weekly limit permanently and try to avoid senseless escalations. For now, I'm trying to keep February free of games - tips and tricks are welcome.
Thanks in advance 😌ðŸ'ðŸ"

I don't think it's helpful, for example, that you hang around so much in the forum here.
Do not misunderstand, I read your posts with pleasure and your photos I also like, but I think it only mixes you even more.
So apart from Casinopause vllt also Forumspause make?

Just do something you've always wanted to do, rent a great car, go somewhere and see something you've always been interested in. Go out more, meet new people. Do sports, keeping fit never hurts. There is so much you can do. Just don't fill up your time with work, just do something that you enjoy.

Playstation gambling is also a good alternative for me, that drives away the boredom and then you gamble at least already times not for the reason in the casino.
Another point that has certainly often prevented me from depositing too much, is that I do not use a credit card and no other payment options or have available, which allow it to Deposit more and more.I only use Paysafe and there uberlegste 2 times, whether you go out again to get one.I usually do not.have a credit card also otherwise never missed.
I probably also gamble a little more often than I should, but at least have in now 3.5 years my stakes never increased. It gives me also no kick, it makes me rather fun. Nevertheless, it is also difficult for me to make breaks, with my limits and time exclusions n but it works quite well at the moment.
And when I don't gamble at all and my fingers itch, I always make myself realize that I'm not doing badly! that it's normal for most people not to gamble. that others have nothing to eat in the world and it's ridiculous to complain because you don't gamble for a few days
PS: I think you have a wife and child, doesn't your wife worry about that? Or if you tell her: I want to take a break for 1 month, can't she kick your ass if you f**k it up?

Hello Avantgarde,
Your whole story reminds me 99% of me and my entry into addiction. My mega win was 9000 euros and after that I was just like you. Guess what I did to distract myself from gambling? Exactly: I bought a PS4 game. Doesn't do any good, of course.
You still have a chance to let it all go and stop playing. What you describe above is gaming pressure or first signs of addiction. You wanted to say goodbye to the forum and yet you are still here.
From now on it can only go downhill for you. Because at some point no more wins come and then your win is gone and the minus comes.
I don't begrudge you your win, that's out of the question. But I was in the same situation as you. Talk to your girlfriend/wife about it. Tell her that you are afraid of losing everything and let her manage your money for a while.
Install gamban on your smartphone etc (1 year costs 10 euro).
I know you don't want to believe that. But if you are 100pro honest with yourself you already realize how gaming has you in its grip.
I just wanted to get that off my chest.

to do this, most here would first have to be in your situation, so 2 mega wins from lowrollers point of view. actually, you're a teacher and should teach us something fun. principle is quite simple, what did you do before your playing time? did not you want to buy a new bike the other day?
if i were you, i would play regularly, not too often, but with a strict limit. personally, i think whoever has to get locked in oc already has a gambling problem and no control anymore. doesn't have to apply to everyone

Video games are a good option. Cost 10-60€, and can keep you entertained for months.
The most important thing I find in gambling is that you have to appreciate the monetary value again.
One knows that: pays 50€, are gone, come another 50€ nachschießen, works vllt.
At the end 100€, 200€ are gone and one had exactly nothing.
Think back to the time when you held a 50€ or 100 Mark bill in your hand, and dreamed what you want to buy with it.
I know, gambling makes you extremely dull, but actually ONLY 50€ is a lot of money.
You can use it to:
Fill up the car (no SUV^^), and drive hundreds of km.
Pay a great restaurant visit for two.
invite 4 people to the cinema and provide them with snacks.
Take the long distance bus all over DE.
Fill the fridge with exquisite food.
Etc.
In addition, it probably helps to internalize that there is nothing to win in casinos. Loss is followed by frustration, and after bigger wins you only gamble more until everything, and even more, is gone.
The hunt for the Jackpot results in having won the jackpot long ago, if you had never started gambling.
Until nothing works anymore...

Locking yourself in Online Casinos unfortunately only helps temporarily.
If you really set your mind to gamble, you will do so... irrelevant whether you check every online casino until you arrive at some dubious Curacao casino where you can Deposit, or whether you go to the next Spielo around the corner.
I think video games are also a good alternative, something like that can distract you very well... I myself have been able to distract me when I was "younger" when there were any problems or I just wanted to switch off
Maybe also not exactly the yellow of the egg there one also so to speak time in the sand puts... but also there one should pay attention nowadays, there are actually also people their whole income for Fifa (soccer simulator) "packs" or CS:GO (Counterstrike) "ingame boxes" spend, since this is also finally in certain measure gambling.
For myself, the phenomenon with the urge to gamble only occurs when I'm bored late at night... since I have a certain monthly limit in each casino, it actually happened to me that I was looking for some rancid online casinos and even there "forced" to leave money, which I did not even have fun playing because I knew exactly... that even if I would now hit a jackpot... I would never see the money again... these are moments where I regret having a limit.
The most sensible way in my eyes is to just be disciplined about it... this sounds silly at first because it sounds a lot easier than it actually is, at least for a player who plays regularly.
But working on yourself is simply the key to victory, man will always find something in which he sees potential to invest his money... no matter if you get blocked in every single casino and then switch to Scratch cards or something else.
