A hard but successful way out of gambling addiction - | 50% casino | 30% sports...

Hello Dear Gamble Joe Community,

i made it (I think) . I specifically did not have this account locked to post this post sometime in this forum thread
I have been COMPLETELY CLEAN of it all for 6 months

I always had a fixed thought in my head.... with this Modern Slavery you will NEVER be rich.... financially independent of an AG.... there must be a solution.... Many years I thought this gamble would be it.... and today I know it is complete BULLSHIT!

I was a 50% online casino, 30% sports betting and 20% offline slots suchti

in 2011 it all started. I started an education and thus earned my first money
In the school class there were many soccer fans and a guy showed me an online sports betting Provider
I thought I was on cloud nine, I was someone who always analyzes soccer very carefully (I also have a Youtube channel about it) and suddenly someone showed me that you can even make money with it

I remember exactly how I made from 5 €, 40 €... just like that in 90 minutes... so easy I have never earned 35 €....

The first 2-3 bills ran well. Afterwards only losses came...
No matter how well I continued to analyze, it never work out what... mostly always a goal was missing

In the first and second year of training, I gambled away about 60% of my salary in sports betting. I made myself with an Excel list always a clean overview of the expenditure. Almost 9000 € I have bombed away in two years just like that
FOR NOTHING!...

In the third year of training I finally got a 4 digit amount as a salary... it looked nice but I wanted to try it again with new strategies and methods in sports betting... single bets with high stakes... live bets...... everything possible...... nothing... losses over losses.... sure was times there a 500 € in it or a 700€ win but significantly more losses...

I also neglected my Excel list but in the rough it was ALONE in the 3rd year of training around the 10000 € loss. So already close 20000 € losses

I was really very horrified... Lived indeed still with my parents but my account balance was always in the minus area. I had possibly one month times green numbers otherwise only 11 months red numbers

When I received my employment contract, it went with the salary to the 1600 €
I wanted to save so I closed a securities savings plan and a LBS contract.

Again and again the thoughts came up with me.... come play further... you have more capital... we can make money very quickly.... so I started again but on a platform where there was also an online casino

I love Poker, Blackjack and Roulette so I started playing directly. The sports betting addiction slowly declined but the online casino started to "gorge" me

I remember when I had 100-200 € rounds in blackjack or bet 500 € on red.... I couldn't look anymore...
Every month so much money went down the drain.... FOR NOTHING...
I had to increase my credit line at the bank (they are happy of course) and canceled my securities savings plan + LBS

At some point I still discovered in a kebab shop these vending machines.... They have me fortunately only for a short time (3-4 months) interested... probably it was because I have never won large sums... but at the online casino I was a completely different person.

I needed it every Sunday (mostly boring day). Even at work I played with the mobile app and just bet 100 € on black... 100 € on red.... I had NO CRONTROL over the money anymore

There were times when I thought to myself... I have to get blocked now.... but after a few weeks I simply registered with the competition and it started all over again

For me it was not only this cool feeling, you could increase money. For me it was also about this kick... Real Live Dealer... cool and entertaining communications.... I felt somehow also very comfortable although I have in real life really cool friends, an irreplaceable family and on strangers women I can also approach and address them friendly

From 2011 to April 2018 I was really addicted to gambling. I think I am at about 50000-60000 €....that really hurts...I always wanted to stop but longer than 4-5 weeks I never made it.

March / April 2018 I started to reflect RATIONAL... what am I actually doing to myself? And slowly I found another way to "save". Stocks, investments, etc...
If I had invested in 2011 in certain things, instead of in gambling... I would not be rich today, but on the best way there.... This thought really hurt.... Until today I feel this pain that I can not describe... I was since then on several seminars, read many books about it and inform me very often in my spare time and can say today after 6 months, I have probably found the right thing

My conclusion:

Vending machines:
I like to eat kebab and the vending machines there have never interested me anyway. I was relatively rarely in the arcades but I always found it so unprofessional there... So many unkempt people and my dream woman I find there certainly not Ne... that was really never my world...

Sports betting:
Today, when I watch the Bundesliga, Champions League or even the World Cup in the summer, I realize how much fun it is to follow such a game without looking at the betting slip or the live odds every minute. It's so much more relaxed and that makes the whole thing more fun for my fellow human beings as well

Online Casino:
I'll be honest... I miss blackjack a bit.... I can live with roulette and poker but 21 has always been a cool thing that I define as "cool" in my life. Still, I promised myself never to play in an offline or online casino again and blackjack is part of that. Fighting the online casino was the hardest battle but I can proudly say I won. I had also subscribed to many online casino videos on YouTube and Twitch for entertainment. I completely unsubscribed... there were really cool guys but this step was important...

I love to invest my money in meaningful stocks and investments and this feeling how the green numbers are getting bigger and bigger. No gambling can give me this feeling in the long run!

Please excuse the length of this post and the 1000 spelling errors
I could go on and on or give more details but I think I have said the most important and roughest
Maybe I motivate one person to get rid of the addiction, then it was already worth it

I stay on the forum because I like to read other stories about gambling addiction. This forum has also motivated me a bit and accordingly a big thank you to GambleJoe!

I will be happy to answer any open questions, until then

Congratulations, read like a good book.
But I did not understand your tips , you invest now in stocks or real estate. Is in the long run of course better.
I think everyone must somehow find his own way.
One shifts his search, the other defeats it completely.
It's like smoking, everybody knows what an expensive shit it is but very few people quit.
Greetings

All the best in fighting gambling addiction.
A short note about your shares. You must be clear that one does not become rich there in the normal case also (for it one suffers in the normal case however also no total loss)
You could become rich with fun like CFDs, foreign exchange, with a leverage of 400, but then we would be back in the area of gambling and the probability that you actually become rich should be as likely as a 6 with super number.
In short, if you want to invest your money in stocks, then just do it normally.

Well, congratulations on getting your act together again. Be careful with stocks, etc. - even the supposedly safe ones are not safe and you need a lot of patience until the numbers turn green. Mostly you need max. 15 years for that, but if you put in something proven (e.g. different Dax companies) it increases easily per year. But it must stand because of fees also a good while, think with almost Risk-free would have to leave the at least 3 years so that you even notice the plus.

I have shares in my bank on the side and buy monthly funds, so it saves up and the funds go with me rather easily into the minus. Am curious about the development of the next months and years

Hello, I am very happy for you that you have gotten your life back on track and can now enjoy it without this addiction

But keep in mind that you often relapse just when you feel the "strongest" and stop following the thread completely

I wish you that you can continue to do it!

LG

and if the shares threaten to fall into the bottomless pit, the state comes and stretches out its rescue parachutes and you are not left out in the rain (shares are not a game of chance!!!)

With the contribution I find myself easily fooled when I read that.I know many people who have lost their money on the stock market

At the stock exchange win only where has good knowledge of the company has ...e.g. a bank gives a buy recommendation for a share that is the bank has previously bought much cheaper the share
if you buy it like many others also the course of the share rises ..da by rise the share shortly later the share falls again ..because the dear bank the share of the entrepreneur
the bank goes out with a win and you with a loss...:-)
If you do win you have to pay full tax plus bank fees

In the stock market 10% make only win in the long term. 40% can hold their capital without win rest that loses the capital

In general: Never accept a savings/share/investment offer from a bank or Insurance types.
Alone already the horrendous commissions which collect the thereby must make immediately stutzig.
Where should the money come from?

Investing in shares is certainly nothing wrong, but you have to inform yourself carefully and should rather see it as a long-term investment.
You won't get rich quickly with it. At least not ours.
