Hello,

i have read through the whole... a crucial advice is unfortunately somewhat lost here. But it can possibly help you very much.
The 24h rule.

But first of all. You show "normal" addiction and withdrawal behavior and your thoughts are also "normal" in this situation. Just depending on the situation.

But now again to the 24h
They can be very long, especially in the beginning when you go from 100 to 0. Break it down as you need it. If necessary to 1h or the next 10min.
Get it in your head again and again!
Here are a few examples

You have pressure to play: in the next 24h I will manage not to play
or: in the next hour I will manage not to play
or in the next 10 min...
If you manage 10 min or one hour... you take the next hour the same way
and so you can slowly increase to 24h..
This has the advantage that you don't have the HUGE GOAL "FOREVER" in mind, because that seems unattainable in the current mindset.
But 10min, 1h, 2h, 24h is foreseeable and after one hour the next hour starts and so on
And you have small successes... "Yes, I've managed not to play for 3 hours, now we'll tackle the next 2 or 3, etc.".

And you can apply that to a lot of things... for the next 10 min or for the next hour I won't reproach myself for the lost money
For the next hour I will not unlock my online banking.
For the next hour, I will not open a casino app on my phone.

That sounds a bit heavy, but it can really help you bit by bit.
You will be distracted for a while in your everyday life
As soon as you are idle, the idea of gambling comes up...
Then switch immediately to the next 10min or the next hour no game thoughts.

Whether and how exactly you apply it for you is of course up to you.
As I said, these were all just examples and the period 10min, 1h etc. you can adjust for yourself.
Set your goal as you need it and are sure that you can do it.
You make it 10 min? then you make it 3x 10min... then you can look at the clock and find that you have already made half an hour. maybe you make it 30 min at a time etc.

The statement that no one can really help you I think is only partly true... there are self-help groups for a reason. They can help a lot.
It sounds stupid, but in principle you have not yet suffered any great damage, except that you feel like shit, but your existence is not threatened.
In a self-help group, it can be helpful Group, it can be helpful to hear firsthand what can happen and it helps to realize. "ok if I don't stop I'm next"
Also, no one will understand better how you feel if you share exactly the thoughts you have described here.
And you will learn what strategies the affected people have used, who have gone the way you are going.

I wish you much success

Am in sämlsämtlichen Online Casinos blocked thus begins alone from the mental point of view a new life for me.No more platform to enter hell.Good feeling.Now it is actively working on itself.

Return to normal life, in recent times, the gambling of money, seemed like a sin to me, which I could no longer agree with me and also does not want.

Life has rushed past me, in the phase where it was only about gambling.You can not win anything, no matter how high the stake is, in the end you are the loser, the addiction potential is simply too high to hold against it in the end.

Maybe to the one or the other reader, just leave it, even 1 attempt to possibly get a loss out is futile.so only the teuefelskreis begins.

As long as you have the opportunity to stop as early as possible, I advise it from the bottom of my heart to stop immediately.

One should never challenge the gambling, at the end everything is broken and wishes to turn back the time, then it is too late.
Better now than later, the more time passes the worse it looks.

Also to those who play for fun, leave it, the danger is too great and gambling is not fun.but primarily a business what serves to the benefit of the operator.

Fun is to spend quality time with friends and family, to experience positive experiences, to pursue hobbies, etc., etc.

I want nothing in life except to be free of gambling, for that I will work on myself, recognize problems and actively with Wirken to fix them.

It's never too late to stop, to continue playing means to have already lost without knowing it yourself.

Hello Domesum.

Of course, I will look at all this very critically, definitely.

But there is no more platform where I could have played something.
Arcades are out of the question.

I am glad to have made the step .

I already feel better than before, always continue to work on it.today beautifully cycled 2 hours that did well:).
