i've been a diligent reader on Gamblejoe for years but never actively participated in the community...mainly because I didn't want to get more involved with "gambling" as I've wanted to stop for years.
I'm writing this post to get the frustration off my chest, to remind myself of my current situation and who knows... maybe motivate someone else to quit.
About me: My gambling career reads like many others... Started small, eventually won big and since then heavily addicted to gambling.
In the meantime I am 28 years old. It started with gambling houses and betting shops when I was about 16 years old.
Here I have always gambled away a large part of my available money, but when I tried Online Casinos about 4 years ago, the whole thing took on much greater proportions.
After I have gambled away for two months the major part of my salary came in the 3rd month of the Big Win... ca.9000€, these I gambled away up to 1000€ and won then even (in retrospect vllt. even unfortunately) 10.000€.
When I then thought to myself now you but really stop and do not strain your luck even more about...it really started.
At that time I was for a full-time training in another city. So I had no income, only the "Meister-BaföG".
It came as it had to come I gambled away the 10,000€ and my Bafög, borrowed money from my father (since I had nothing more to live on) and gambled that away as well.
This low point led to panic attacks, which I have overcome, thank God, but which still affect me.
Since then I have been meandering from month to month. Every month I promised myself not to gamble and in the end I did, sometimes it worked out until the 3rd, sometimes until the 5th of the month but in the end the same result...I paid my fixed costs in 99% of the cases and gambled away the rest.
Currently I have about 10,000 euros in Debt, sadly I am glad that it is "only" 10,000€.
This month, except for my fixed costs, I gambled away my entire salary and my Deposit which I got back from my former apartment.
Now looking into the future I am more determined than ever to quit. Just writing down these lines and being aware of the unnecessary gambling helps me at least for the moment.
I wish all those who want to stop much success on the difficult path and all those who manage to gamble occasionally and have not yet become addicted, that it remains so!
I will now start in 2023 to pay off my debts and hopefully find new and more meaningful hobbies.
Happy Advent to you all

@Pat2394,
if it is your firm will, you will make it.
I have not played for almost 6 months and my will is not to change it.
You can do it .
You will surely get enough information here, what you could do instead.
But remember, willpower is part of ending an addiction and getting it under control.
Good luck

I keep my fingers crossed that you manage to stop. If you have the will, you can do it. Above all, you will realize how much money you will save. If you continue as before, you will have at least 30k debts on the clock in 3-5 years. That simply adds up year after year... and the money worries are getting bigger and bigger...
All the best for you.

First of all congratulations!!! Do you have any tips and tricks or did you just say enough and go for it? The most difficult thing in the past was always the typical thought... a Zwanni you can try

You are right! That's why I currently think that these debts are vllt. even good to simply be a warning, which could actually be the case in one to 2 years. You can still just pay it off every month and it's good, but at some point it will be difficult.
All the best to you too!

The Zwanni is always such a thing in theory quite nice but you lie to yourself
There are many who can play controlled but there are many more who can not and I can give you as a Tip when the thought comes do something else that you enjoy or take exactly this Zwanni and put it in something else where you enjoy
Eat out or go to the movies or a new Playstation game or just in the piggy bank if you sometimes realize what you got for it in the end disappears the thought to gamble very quickly
With me it was once so with the smoking I had stopped longer and whenever I had bock to buy me a pack I have fetched my money box and made there 6-7 € purely
You have to distract yourself for a while by all means and then you get to the point where you start to question the addiction and realize hey it doesn't control me I control it

@Pat2394,
that is like with an addiction, it builds up slowly .Since yes after the 1st of July the wins became rapidly less and with me the thought of the futility was already present, it did not need much more.
I decided to stop now and immediately.
But no more trying anything with however much.
Either completely or not at all.
At the beginning I was even afraid to stay here in the forum, I had several conversations with users who also want to quit or have quit.
But in the meantime I can handle being here in the forum quite well.
The temptation here the constant free play offers etc. to resist goes also now.
The only thing I do, I am at Social Tournament, there is nothing with Deposit and that helps me.
Well and sometimes you win there too, but so in 6 months times a 10er
But no one can and should give you tips and tricks, because everyone must find his own way.
But what could also help would be a self-help group.
There you talk with like-minded people and talk helps - always
I wish you success and a Merry Christmas

Now that you mention it... the story with smoking I have heard many times, always put away the money for a pack when you need it.
Thanks for the tip! That definitely sounds good to me. Some kind of reward system... always when you want to gamble, invest the money in something nice and more meaningful.

I know your situation too well and in dimensions that I wish no one.
Always remember: Whether 1,000, 10,000 or 100,000 € win. If you gamble steadily this money is always gone plus more. Whether that lasts 1 day, 1 week or 3 months does not matter!
I have already won 50 K in one evening and completely spent in 1 week plus more!
I think it's great that you want to stop overnight, but I also know that it is really hard.
I hope of course that you pack it and just stop and have only one advice: If you can stop then do it but if you really think it can not be otherwise and you absolutely have to play set yourself rules!
I have always gambled highroll and lost a lot! I started to look at Bonuses and just play with bonuses! In addition, always a low Deposit and then on really low bet under 1 € partly just tum fun daddeln! You hardly believe it but so you come vieeeeel longer even with 100€ there and can even aug several thousand come up!
Mostly you lose because it gets out of control and you play aggressively. If you control yourself and play only for Spielspas then you realize, losses are very manageable!
Stop if you can or set a new mindset about gaming.
