Gambling addiction in general: It all started with a win, what's left are debts

Hello

I've been a silent reader for a while now I'd like to get my story off my chest.
I come from a gambling family, my father played for a long time, 1 brother plays now and then. The other is really addicted. Gambling has never really interested me.
I was 3 times in the casino u have trembled When I have gambled 50€
And then came the day where I won 2000€. I didn't know what would happen to me.
Said brother also plays online and has made a huge win of 30k at win2day. And then my husband and I got hooked on trying it online.
Even then everything was still under control dsss is about a year ago. But increasingly everything revolved more and more around gambling. The addiction crept in.
I am stunned by my behavior we are a normal family, have a young son and both good jobs. But va in the last half year it got worse and worse.
Paid in - lost - paid in - lost. And so it went until one weekend 800 euros were gone
We both have our account so overdrawn (even a vacation was in between but some also for play) that I had to take 6000 credit and decided now is the end

It was also short end but unfortunately I made the mistake to let me block only 1 month. My husband hardly plays anymore
I am at a low point. I have gambled away a lot of money in the last few days and in the hope of winning it back I gambled away another 400 yesterday and today. I just had myself locked for life, enough is enough.

It will take months to bring the new account minus in order but I have enough
In sum with all wins it is surely 5000€ minus. When I think about the incredible amount of money I have wasted, I feel sick. I don't know how to deal with it and how it could happen at all, I experienced enough drama as a child because of my father's gambling

Do you really think you can do it? I mean, whoever goes into the minus for the casino is already pretty much through with life, you definitely didn't live up to your responsibility to your family.

I also used to gamble more than I wanted, but I never went into the red or had to take out a loan. I wanted to gamble, but I also didn't want to slip into a really stupid situation. That's super fast if you keep throwing and I've often made the mistake of depositing more than I wanted and the initial plus turned into a minus due to greed on the day. Yes how that had upset me, my lack of self-control has annoyed me so much that I have brutally pulled myself together and have restricted accounts online, have set limits, I have talked a little in counseling (there I go because of other things actually) and with the family and with me it was now nothing that would have ever threatened my existence - it has only lowered my quality of life.

Gambling is absolutely fine, you want to be lucky in life - but the problem is that we want to force happiness and Risk way too much for it. Of course you can spin on 1, 2, ... x € and then win well - but most play already from 1 € per spin above their means. You should never go over a limit you set yourself, once you do that the way back is very hard. Motivate yourself, stay strong and look forward no matter how agonizing the loss of money resounds in your head... that is true willpower and anyone can show it.

Realize what responsibilities you have and what burdens you have on your shoulders that only you can carry and don't get sidetracked on the way and stay really strong! Let it be not only words, but deeds.

if you both have good paying jobs, 5k will be paid off quickly. cheer up, it can be far worse ^^
if you banish the thoughts of winning back losses from your mind, you've actually already done it.
that is the key..all the best to you...

I also spoke openly with my husband today. It just shocks me how this addiction has crept in and I have not perceived it for a long time. For me, the lifetime ban is the first step. Yes the money is gone it is just a pity that I have bought me for this sum ultimately nothing nice or saved but have squandered online
I also want no pity just wanted to exchange me. The 3 times in the casino as I said were for fun and that has not kept me busy. My "downfall" was the online casino, because available everywhere and with eps or credit card are quickly deposited times a few hundred. Back then as I said in the casino when the 50 was gone and out. Never would I have withdrawn money to continue to play

You can see that Gambling addiction can affect anyone. Even me as a mother and wife. Vl was this shock experience yesterday also important to finally get out

5k is a lot, but you can easily pay it off. If you really manage to quit, of course. Good luck
