I am addicted to gambling

Hey, I'm Christian, 33 years old. I've been addicted to happiness and video games for about 2-3 years. At least that's what I think. Because whenever I'm alone and bored, I start playing or gambling. I completely neglect my surroundings and my daily structures. I feel like I'm trapped in a tunnel and can't stop. Every time I win, I feel an immediate desire and a great sense of happiness and want to keep playing. If I'm disturbed while playing, I usually react aggressively and in a bad mood. My financial situation is also rather poor, but I still keep spending money on gaming. I now have online loans of €10,000. I simply can't afford the installments anymore, as I continue to play even with the wins from my games.

Do you have any suggestions or know of any support services that could help me? Who could I contact directly?

Hello!

In every larger city there are counseling centers run by Caritas or Awo etc., make an appointment there for an initial consultation.
After that, they usually offer you the chance to join a group that is professionally run.
There you will meet people who have the same problem as you.
In most cases, you will also have an individual meeting once a week, where they will discuss the next steps with you, e.g. whether therapy is an option for you, etc.
For financial matters, make an appointment with a Debt counselor, usually at the AWO and free of charge.
They will help you with everything, take care of any correspondence etc.
You just have to get active and things will get better.
In any case, I wish you all the best!
