Gambling again after gambling therapy

Hello to the whole forum,

i realized about six weeks ago that I have a real problem with gambling (exclusively slots/roulette). Now I have since taken a break for 2 weeks and made a therapy.

I enjoyed gambling a lot, so I would love to go back to gambling. Therapy has helped me a lot to change my view on gambling, therefore feel safe enough to avoid another vicious cycle. I wanted to win money while gambling, but the therapy made me realize that I can't do that

Can someone tell me from his experience whether one can dare to do such a thing as an addict? Or should I stay away from all kinds of gambling on principle?

You can't, as hard as that sounds, and someone who thinks that after two weeks he has become mentally strong enough to withstand the pressure of an addiction and even to be able to control it, has not even dealt with himself.
What's happening right now is what addiction does to you after two weeks.
You go to the Internet, to a gambling forum and hope for encouragement
You didn't randomly choose a platform that advocates gambling, but because you knew that on any other the outcry would be huge.
My suggestion: get some real therapy and come back to this post in 1-2 years and then we can talk about strength and insight.

I went through this shit for quite some time, with my best friend at the time! In the end you make the decision yourself and you still have the chance to get this under control. Be aware of the consequence of what happens if
Every relapse makes it 1000x harder and worse, every one is a new all-in with the 100% certainty to lose everything!

Thank you for your honest words

Since I stopped gambling I am now missing something in my life, because I don't even know what normal people do when they have free time
Now that I've opened the thread, I actually see for myself that it's absolutely pointless to even ask this question

Every day I sit at home and don't know what to do, it's really not nice. What do you do in your free time?

What do you guys do in your spare time?

Go out and meet others, make friends, go out to eat, meet family and surround yourself with people who have nothing to do with gaming!

You'll have so much fun that you won't even think about gambling!

On your way all the best my friend!

Such a therapy takes at least 1 year with cure and everything. 2 weeks then game free I can not imagine it

Have probably expressed myself a little unclear. The therapy went 6 weeks and then 2 weeks game-free, although währen the therapy also some time without playing went clear

Conclusion: Just forget about playing and look for something new

Gambling was the meaning of my life, finding a substitute for it is not so easy. Distraction cannot be the new meaning of life.

You are very wrong, distraction is the new meaning of life. You played because you were bored or just didn't know what to do with your time, so look for something else, a hobby or go to a local club, fitness or swimming. Anything like that --- just don't play anymore when you have too much time.

Well, a drunk can become a drunk again after one beer, the same can happen to a player

If you already have problems with it at least a longer break would be more sensible look for hobbies that make you vill even more fun
