Coping, therapiers, tips... : A hard but successful way out of gambling addiction - | 50% casino | 30% sports betting | 20% slot machines | (Page 4)

Sigura43 wrote on 02/11/2018 at 22:05: To Idiot85 - Why do you fall off the wagon after 4 years ? One notices nevertheless ( I at least ), that one without playing, loosely again in the green area comes . Everything financial calms down again. At the beginning of the year I had 2 months rent arrears. The notice for the apartment came. I was right with the ass to the wall. I got me still fast money from friends to not have to leave my apartment. I would never have thought to get into this situation. From then on came the turn, that is, I rethought. One works hard, and throws it to the Casino's quasi on salary day again in the throat. So it did not go on. Now, months later I pay my rent correctly again. I can sleep calmly again, and I even save - and not a little . I lead a quiet, pleasant life again . I read through topics and comments here every evening . My impression: many are too busy with casino. Sure, I will also Deposit somewhere times 20 euros. But in general I am cured of huge stakes and many thoughts of online casinos. It's just a pleasant life again .

Hello my dear, sorry I was On the road - right, I was 4 years gambling free, financially I was doing relatively okay. Then my former boyfriend ( he was not one ) kept bugging me and encouraging me to gamble, I went along and lost 250 euros that day, which is a lot of money! On the days I lost 1750 and was back in the addiction. I can tell you I was all the way down from wealthy to almost broke, I don't wish that on anyone. Money comes and goes, but the worries, the fears, your nature, your outward appearance all change negatively. I was that type arrogant, good looking, well dressed, good job! I could never accept defeat. If you had a real day in intoxication, e.g. with gambling, you don't care about anything, you don't drink, you look like shit afterwards, you are not hungry, your wallet is on its last legs. You have debts, creditors, your girlfriend threatens to break up with you and you don't care. You are still in this world that only harms you. I will never be completely free of gambling, but I have learned what 50 euros are worth, that you can live well for 1 week, eat well. At that time I didn't care if I had 50 or 5000, it was just me and the Spielo. The first rule is as a player, never take a lot of money, never your cards, when you play do not go to the bank but home and shit on your loss! That's what you have to learn, the loss, the lost money you want to have it back. A deadly game. I just want to warn and help if I can, I have 11 years of gambling experience, what I regret the most is the loss of precious time, as well as the disappointments of the people in me. To play online, the same applies, please set yourself limits or you will go bust. You have to appreciate the value of money that is very important.

Because one thing is for sure, an addiction always wins the over hand in the end. Please remember, you can change everything in life, it's all in your head.

"i will never be completely game free..." why do you think that, if you don't mind me asking?

"I was that guy Arrogant, good looking, well dressed, good job!" You are/have none of that anymore?

Sure I am always "tested"
Two weeks ago, for example, as I have seen REALLY ACCIDENTALLY the odds for Dortmund vs. Bayern.... I knew 99% that Dortmund wins.... a delicious 4 odds.... since I would have loved to immediately invested € 300...
BUT
Immediately came the against thought... NO! You need the 300 € for the shares and the savings plan in 2 weeks

Sure I would have won 1200 € but no one knows before...

One is always tested.... as the whole just with Montanablack (a Youtuber) and the casinos again made waves in the media... I also briefly considered... a round of Blackjack would now be so cool...... but no.... fight against it and stay true!

Saving is going great and on the stock market everything is going well (although just a lot of red numbers are written in some companies)

You feel free, free from all money worries. Going to a restaurant with your girlfriend and not looking at the price is the coolest feeling there is. I never want to miss this feeling again!
But that only works if you stay away from such money rip-offs.

I will always fight against it and I know I will not lose this fight. With a mindset like that, you've almost certainly won!
Also, I find, motivate women to do so. Women find men who gamble really UNATTRACTIVE, that's a fact. You can still look so cool with a six pack and so.... if a man gambles he is a real abturner
And exactly to such men, I never want to belong again! Without offending them but for me these men have NO LIFE!

We are damn there to move something and everyone has these opportunities!

What my goals are in the meantime?
If it goes on like this, I can easily retire 10 years earlier than a "normalo"
In 2-3 years I would like to inform me further on the real estate market. So the knowledge grows and thus the gambling moves further and further into the shadow

Everyone can make it!
If you stop NOW, you can NOT LOSE ONE CENT MORE. That is FACT!

Awesome quote:
The best roll of the dice is to throw them away.

I want to keep this thread up to date and will post in every now and then
I am always happy about new comments and remain with many greetings

Before you buy such things, you should already inform yourself
A small example
There are many people who buy a new iPhone every year for 1000 €. If these people would rather invest 1000 € annually in Apple shares, you would have much more of it and no loss of value in the long run. But many people don't understand that. I think you have a very similar mindset
There is always Risk but you can build something. It's like having your own business.

I think it is LIGHT YEARS better than this dirty gambling. At the end of the day you can't even compare.... I work properly with my finances.... have a budget book... knows what I may save, what I can treat myself, etc...
All these activities should actually do every person. Especially if you gamble, you need an overview

Honestly... I never had an overview there.... you act with emotions and forget to think rationally

And another thing.... may be that I may offend gamblers / gamblers but let's be honest.... it is either way a "crap" activity...
Why should I then approve of such people? I was one myself and used to insult myself in the mirror too, what happened to me and all. But that is just as true for everyone else
Of course not everyone can get out of addiction and the state earns so much money through taxes but there is not ONE REASON to define this whole activity as "nice"

I have broken off contact with two very close friends. They are very addicted to Slot machines and sports betting and are at Tipico pretty much every day
You have to distance yourself from such people and this is not an insult but a step in the right direction! (My opinion)
The two will never bring it to what (if the continue to change nothing in your life) so why should I spend another second with them time
Sure they did me good but only because this sports betting thing has connected us

Call me arrogant or whatever but it's the naked truth
We have a life and the point is to get the best out of it!

I want to retire as early as possible and I'm already setting the basic building blocks for that today
Everybody could do it but everybody has different interests and goals in life

I have shopped before for 100 € beautifully (food). During my gambling time I tried not to spend so much money on food so that I have more for gambling... Sorry but that is just sick and may also be offended such behavior
Right, I do not have to turn every penny and so it should be and not otherwise
