Gambling addiction in general: Question to ex-players how was it for you? After abstinence

Hi, I've been gaming for over 10 years and somehow everything has become pretty boring lately, the only thing I still enjoy is gambling.
I used to have fun with friends or on the console, but I don't care anymore.
Now I've asked myself if I could quit, could I get my zest for life back?
I don't really want to quit because I don't enjoy anything else, but if that's the reason why, then I'd like to change it.
How do you think it went for you? Would it be enough to stop gambling or do you also have to treat depression, for example?

Hello,

my name is Susanne and I work at a specialist center for gambling problems. Of course you can be happy and have fun again, even without gambling. However, this is not easy and also means that you have to look for other leisure activities.

It is important to ask yourself: What did I like doing in the past? What would I enjoy doing? Can I do something together with friends/acquaintances or family members?

It's important to find a good alternative to gaming. This could be sport, for example

If you find something that you really enjoy and that gives you pleasure, then at some point you will no longer think about playing and won't miss it.

I hope I have been able to help. If you have any further questions, just write to me directly or log in to the online platform "PlayChange". You can find me under the name "Susanne Schmidt"

All the best and have fun with other hobbies


Susanne

Sorry, but with your current nickname I can't take you personally seriously 😊
