Gambling addiction in general: Win but do not get out

I've been playing for 2 years and first I started when a "friend" of mine had given the money in the arcade and I won with it. Before that I was always the person who didn't play it and wanted to keep my own friends away from it. This is where the whole problem started. I started to be a different person. The first win was 100 euros and with my own money I won 300 euros. I got the wins out the first few times but as I went on I became more and more addicted. Even when I won 400 euros, I either didn't get it out or continued gambling somewhere else. I wanted to stop at the end of the year, until I came with a friend on online casino from Tipico.
In the online game first won 2500 euros and gambled away again. And the next day I won 7000 euros and couldn't control myself, it was a win that would cover all debts and monthly contributions of 3 years. I gambled away all the money. The loss and the stupid thought of not taking out such a large sum broke me even more. So after a month I tried again recently and raised money and also gambled away the wages etc.
I won 6000 euros at another online casino site and wanted to get out this time, but I did not sleep and gambled until the morning, in the course of playing I even came to a sum like 10,000. However, I continued to gamble and stayed at 3-4 K and had often had the chance to stay at this sum

Result: own money 1500 euros also gambled away, win gambled away. The first case with 7000 euros has disturbed me very much, for days I had to think about it but the loss of 10,000 has not hit me so hard. Rather, I am disturbed by the thought of having started gambling in the first place and having played all sorts of things. And all the wins didn't make me happy

Can someone please explain to me how a person can lose themselves= What is the reason? What goes on in a person that they don't stop and think about gambling again the next day?

The only thing I can say is that this gaming has robbed everything of my energy, personality and bothers me daily. I am a student, but just because of gambling I postponed a lot of things in the first semester and now I have to cope with it in April. And to pay debts, I now work the week for 6 days and it demotivates me to wake up every day with the thought that because of gambling I am in a quagmire. It has taken away my energy and all sorts of fun and joy. Even when I'm doing something else, the thought is there that I've gambled away. What can I do to get away from this thought? I have already given my card to my friend so I don't access it and play anymore. I am sure that I can win this amount again in the future but I don't want to gamble at all. The thought of having acquired such behavior in the first place bothers me. I have been a person who has rejected it in the past.

Hello Zerda,

I am a few years older than you
and have found myself in similar situations in my life.

From my side, I can only tell you that you will recover relatively quickly from this.
I mean the financial side!

As far as gambling is concerned, I would advise you to take a break.
I'm not an expert on this, but it sounds like you're not just gambling for fun anymore.

MfG
