So I wanted to advertise here for none I think times wins are coincidence no matter which store

I have now after all 3 days already nichtmehr played, the frustration has settled somewhat and I have set myself in the OC's justifiable monthly limits.

The losses are very annoying but throw me and my family fortunately not yet from the track so that what changes

But I must now do everything to keep it that way

Wish you to stay strong. You can also change something before it throws you off track!

The goal of every addict is to try to "recoup" all his losses of all the years with one big hit, in the process it becomes more and more and more... myself included

Not all addicts stay in this temptation forever, a few strong-willed ones make it out of it. And everyone can determine his fate, I mean I understand that it is an addiction and the temptation is great, I had this urge once.

But it's pure laziness when you always shift the blame. The evil advertising, the fake streamers, the lack of regulation in Germany, the MGA does nothing, the bad bonus offers, ... all quite not good conditions, but in the broadest sense only excuses why you have not yet taken the Iniaitve to stop. You can't bathe in self-pity forever, at some point you have to get out of the muck and face it. I say this so easily because I myself could not control myself perfectly and because many friends could not either, they gambled away their house and whatnot. Nevertheless, many of them got back on their feet and said they'd never do that kind of shit again. Some have stuck to it, others have fallen for the game again after a stroke of fate.

But as long as you try to cut it down, quit it because you're sick of it it's all good. You just have to keep trying, never give up completely.

if you play Poker every day and earn 10,000 euros a month, you do not call yourself a gambling addict, but if you lose 10,000, you call it Gambling addiction!
it is a property whether you can handle money or not and not an addiction.

when the internet first came out there were daily talk shows about how someone was addicted to the internet because they surfed for several hours and now most of them are on the net around the clock

There is addiction to the Internet, but even then it was defined differently from the way it was disseminated in the media. Gambling addiction is also a psychologically verifiable addiction.

One can develop an addiction for everything, but each person can fight the addiction as already written.

Internet addiction, or rather computer addiction in the past, was actually about people who get up, go to the computer and then sleep in the evening. Food intake, social contact, obligations are neglected. People died because they simply forgot to drink or eat. That's how extreme it can get.

yes but what is a bit ridiculous is the fact that "gambling addicts" always say "i'm addicted, i can't help it" so i'm not addicted i just can't handle money and that's of course my own fault because i failed to learn it

Have you experienced something similar? How do you feel about something like this? How does it go on?

Probably the only right answer is: stop!

But I must confess that is not so easy anymore that's why I turn to you

yes. played a lot, won a lot, lost a lot, played a lot, paid in more, paid out more.

until at some point the unbelievable happened what never happens to most gambling addicts and hardcore gamblers: the net losses from 11 years of online career or Gambling addiction were actually recouped in one day.

in retrospect, absolutely the worst thing that could have happened to me.
after all, we are talking about extremely critical sums here.

since then, the final stage has occurred. four-digit sums are regularly paid out to make the whole thing look good. only this month it happened like this: 150€ paid in, 1000€ paid out, 3000€ paid in, that's it again.

In essence we have the same point of view, I also think that everyone who is addicted to gambling can stop if he wants to. But it is unfortunately very comfortable to do nothing, some try it and fall back. Then you have to take harder measures, I mean everybody has to know that gambling should not be the only hobby / pastime. As soon as there is stress, gambling is done properly and that is not really good for the nerves.

If you as a player expect the state, the casino or any authority in Malta that clarifies without what you do yourself must live in a fantasy world. It is like many things in life not so simple, but it is doable.
