Every day without gaming is worth its weight in gold because it just fades into oblivion. I immediately notice how I find the motivation for other things and also the mood remains only in the positive, finally no more depressions because I have lost the money every day...
I would now have the money as well as the online casino where I could Deposit, but I am really amazed how I have no desire for it.
What really helps me a lot is music. It is really incredible what music can do. Music that has a meaning, where you sit at home and think about how pointless gambling is and how well you just feel when you don't gamble anymore...unbelievable I have to say honestly.
My friends continue to gamble online and offline, that's the hardest part right now because I have to ignore it.
Never give up.

Absolutely the right thing to do!

Maybe as a little incentive for you:

Get yourself a money box or something similar and put money in it every week from now on - 1 euro in week 1, 2 euros in week 2, and so on.

If you keep it up, you will have saved over 1,300 euros after exactly one year. This helps me immensely.

I can only say from my own experience that, for me, the more confident I feel, the harder it gets. If I have not gambled for a month, the thoughts come: "oh times 30 euros does not hurt. Have now 30 days not played. "

Just want to give you this experience on the way.

I felt the same way a few years ago, except that I managed not to gamble for a whole year, but one day I just did it again, thinking that I've done it for so long anyway, so I'll at least be able to control it now.

Well, in the end it only got worse, which is why I'm now ready to go to an inpatient clinic for two months, because the way it is now, it's just not a life I want to lead anymore.

Such an update

I've really managed to stay away from arcades so far. (Except for one time!), where I only put in a dime and left right after without losing any more money, which I almost never managed to do before. This feeling in there was so disgusting that I almost cried because all the thoughts from before came, and because it's just generally so much no fun there, and I would love to bang my head against the wall how stupid I have gambled away the money there.
Online casino I unfortunately also had a relapse, but by far no loss as a month ago.
What I have noticed extremely is that I am automatically already looking for a new "hobby", because gambling really makes me less and less fun, I would never have thought, it's just really no fun because it gets boring, as everything in life eventually becomes boring.
All in all, a very positive progress for me, I think that in about 1-2 months, I will also totally distance myself from the online casino as well as from the Spielo.
Above all, I notice how the money is suddenly there again...unbelievable
How cool you can eat for it, how often you can go to the cinema, sauna, everywhere...instead of the f**king machines .

Very good, keep it up. You'll see, someday it won't come off at all and you'll think to yourself how you could only put so much money into something like that.

At some point, everyone relapses, you have already had another relapse, € 10.00 in the Spielo and also online as you wrote. In rare cases, one stops playing altogether. I, for example, have also gambled a lot in the past but I do not do that for a long time, today maybe times a 20.00 € every 3 months that's enough for me.

No excuse, relapse is relapse and is also a stupid action of one's own.
Sometimes you have to have I think but also a little luck in life and see certain people what happened to those by gambling.
Yesterday where I was waiting for the train, I saw a guy that I have often seen in Merkur earlier. Junge Junge...has played in the spielo on 2 euro beat but had not even proper clothes on and a junk bike at the start, looked really verranzt.
Such insights have now deterred me so that is really incredible. The sad thing, the guy is easily 1-2 years older than me..whole life still ahead of him.

What is important, of course, is that you evaluate such relapses correctly. If you are satisfied with the thought "it was only 10€" then there is a Risk that you will think "it's only 10€" more often. I think when playing a complete break is necessary, I personally know of no cases where the reduction has worked. But as you also said right, playing is just fun. That's why you should really look for a hobby or resume an old hobby that fills the time and to which you can also devote yourself in difficult moments.
