You are right of course, sorry that I am a little over-motivated pure straddled.

Thank you and toi toi for you too! It can be done!!! Changed my phone a few days ago and had to transfer all apps and set them up again. When I set up my Sparkassen app with my login information, I got sick. Too many times it has happened that I have just deposited such large amounts and had to confirm. This shows me that the physical psyche is reacting and confirming that I am/was completely sick.


So again I recommend to everyone, be it rehab or therapy, do it!

Meet extreme people here in the players group again now of course, but I'm mentally so far away from all that shit by now that I don't mind.

wanted to leave another update. I'm now in week 10 and it's only three weeks until I'm back home. Still consuming and game-free. But it's been a tough few weeks mentally and psychologically. There was only ever one outlet for worries and problems 🤷.

I also arranged my aftercare today, which will be another 6 weeks on an outpatient basis. I've been home almost every weekend to see how things are going there. The worst thing at the moment is all the letters from Debt collection and the like, but nothing can be dealt with until I'm back at work. Despite everything, I'm still very optimistic that I'll hopefully make it this time and not fall back into old patterns. It's a rocky road but it's worth it.

LG and see you soon.

i have also had an addiction problem for a long time. My addiction to gambling only exists in combination with cocaine. I'm not interested in any of that when I'm sober. And that's the fatal thing. When I've used again, I've deposited directly and done everything I can. Including having all direct debits returned.

I've been to 4 different therapies. There's only been one so far that has treated the combination of drugs and gambling.

Due to my history, I've already been through an insolvency that lasted from 2017-2022. Last year, I was granted discharge of residual debt.

This is the current situation with my debts:

Private individuals: 5300 euros
Debt collection: 910.44 euros
Debts to previous employer: 5275
Banks/short-term loan: 2666 euros

Privately, I pay off 100 euros a month with a good friend.
As I became unemployed at the end of June, I was transferred citizen's allowance a few days ago. Of course, I managed to get rid of it in a night and fog operation.

That means I can't pay the rent next month. I can't file for bankruptcy again because of the freeze. I've now contacted umpteen Debt counseling agencies. They would help me. But they also want money for it. Usually up to 1000 euros. It is possible to pay in installments, but the chances of success are uncertain. As I can no longer file for bankruptcy, the only option left is a settlement.

And now imagine that only one creditor says no. Then it's all for nothing and I still have to pay the installments for debt counseling.

I've already put my car and PC in the classified ads/mobile. No notification so far.

I'm going to a rehab clinic for 3 weeks from 25.7. As I deal with the subject openly and have already had 1000 relapses, the relationship between my mother and me is strained. She can no longer cope with it all. And I can understand it all.

You know, as soon as I get my nose to the grindstone, it's fire. I don't think about anything or anyone anymore. Totally in the tunnel. I know all my problems. I know skills etc.pp. But I still don't do it in these situations.

So to summarize briefly:

I currently have 0 euros available. All the direct debits that went back want their money. Next month, Cashper and Ferratum will try to debit my account. Electricity, Insurance, the installment to my boyfriend - none of it is going through.

I've already written to the banks to say that I'm not able to pay the installments.

Still, I can't clear my head when I know that everyone wants their money. And I need to clear my head during detox to be able to participate.


Maybe you have some ideas/tips/suggestions.

I have thought about writing to my social counselor at Bürgergeld and telling him the whole thing. Maybe at least the rent can be paid in advance and then in future be paid directly into the landlord's account.
Incidentally, the social welfare office also knows everything. I had to write in whether I have debts and whether I have any illnesses. And show or present the last 3 monthly bank statements.

My only panic is that the payments will be stopped all the more.

I'm just afraid that
