Inpatient or outpatient: Have any of you ever tried gambling addiction therapy?
Nobody has liked this post so far
I honestly have never tried it myself. I somehow think that it would do me little or no good - especially not in Germany, where Slot machines are on every corner and temptations are always omnipresent.

It is partly very interesting and partly not. You open up to other players and can share your experiences. Quasi what we do here in the forum. A player can communicate best to another player
It is always helpful. Everybody has his own reasons to play. The most or rather the most serious reasons are private or emotional events. Everybody who is addicted to gambling plays to cope with something else or to get something that is missing in his private life
Generally, this is a good thing to keep at it until you find out what the real reason for your compulsive gambling is and work on it
Of course, this affects everyone differently, but if you really want it yourself and are willing to work on it, then you can do it and it can really help you
PS: especially in Germany you should do this. It's not about having no more Slot machines around, but to learn to resist, if there are some everywhere
Personally, I have become aware of my private problems and the reason for gambling with it and I have it since then better under control than at that time. But you have to decide for yourself

The problem is that I know all this myself. I also talked to Andreas (gambling addict high roller) about it. He also says that he has never done therapy because he knows why he gambles and he sees little point in talking. He has also read about the high relapse rates and estimates his chances of success to be low.
Well, actually one should try it. As a pathological gambler, you have little to lose anyway ...

It is to be recognized both on the YT channel and here clearly that your stakes with the play particularly in the past 2-3 (?) years always further and further risen. for my feeling these lie at the moment far over what I feel as "normal ". has that also something with your play addiction to do or has that other reasons ? I mean with the permanent hochfahren the stakes rise but the losses also in a range that is really bad.Or am I wrong? Other users have also noticed this in recent times.

Of course, you should not approach the matter with the expectation of healing, but it must already be firmly anchored in the head that you want to stop. That's exactly what very few people do, which is why the relapse rate is so high. Many hope for a miracle cure, but it's not like that
That you are aware of your situation is very good. With this you are already further than 95% who dare a therapy
All you really need is a balance. Friends, hobbies and or a distraction that fulfills you as much as gambling
I know myself that you can just talk about it and that the practice is very different
I wish everyone who wants to quit all the strength and happiness that you can imagine.

Well, at the beginning of 2015 I have made from a few 100€ (started with 50 cents / spin) suddenly over 20K - see here: https://www.gamblejoe.com/news/casino-gewinne-032015/ Fat Lucky Streak. I spun 1-2x on 50€ and then featues came. Of course I got used to high stakes during this streak.
I said until that time that I want only once so nen thick Win and then I stop. The profit was even so Big that I was online even 5,000€ suddenly in the plus. That was simply too crass. Well, from that point on the opposite happened. The money was gambled away 2 weeks later as if in a frenzy + my own money. I knew this behavior from players who contacted me by mail. But I thought, if I win once thick, I am not so stupid. You always have to experience everything yourself before you can judge, I have since learned ...
When I win, I increase my bets extremely fast. I usually start on 1-2€ but I hardly ever pay out anything. Of course, it is also part of the gambling addiction that you eventually have to play higher and increase your stakes. A smoker also increases his consumption over the years. A herion junkie also needs more stuff to get high. And even with coffee, this effect can be seen. If you rarely drink coffee, one cup is enough and you are wide awake. But if you drink coffee every day (addiction), then you hardly feel any effect.

Alcohol is also available on every corner and yet you can get away from this addiction. And I know what I'm talking about, because I've been a dry alcoholic for 6 years. Meanwhile the stuff can stand around me and it doesn't bother me anymore. Only when I'm feeling really lousy (depression), then it's sometimes tempting.
In short, an addiction (no matter what) always has reasons, and in therapy you get to the bottom of them. Therefore, such a therapy is clearly useful and I can only advise everyone to do such a therapy. Whether gambling and alcohol or drugs...none of it, sustainably improves the mental state, on the contrary it makes you fall even deeper....

Appointments with a therapist (same institution / Caritas).
To be honest, the group itself didn't help me at all, but that's probably because there were just too many of us at some point
that at some point there were too many of us and we introduced ourselves again and again. (for new ones)
The "consultation hours" with the therapist are unfortunately relatively rare, you talk about the problems, mainly not even directly about gambling
directly about gambling. Well, because of that, I have at least had myself blocked from various gambling establishments.
What I probably need, however, is probably a real therapy, which goes into the depth, because the problem with me is I think / I know / I am sure, psychologically caused
i am sure, psychologically conditioned...(well, what else)
I have been depressed for a long time and the fact that I have lost all kinds of friends due to the breakup a year ago (after almost 7 years)
Friends (in the course of the relationship it became less), has unfortunately increased the gambling again. Before that I was at least "relatively" stable when gambling.
I hope that everything I write here makes any sense , because this Saturday is basically like all the last ones...Some wine, some beer, listen to music and have at least halfway fun. Hello? I'm 25 and my life feels like a mess, I have a job and everything, but it's all pathetic
Well, has anyone of you already made halfway successful experiences with therapies ..etc?

I've only had negative experiences, but I won't go into details here. Warm words, nothing else.
You have to ask yourself some critical pragmatic questions and act accordingly. Look the fact in the face and pull yourself out of the misery by your own hair. That is the best way.
You are 25, you have everything in front of you, everything is possible. You should not give up, a lot can still happen.
You have already taken the first important step. You have recognized that you are not happy for whatever reason and that there is a possible connection to gambling. Now you have to ask yourself a few more questions and act accordingly, e.g. whether you still enjoy gambling, why you gamble, whether it unduly affects your life...
I am not a psychodoc, I am just sharing personal experiences.
I used to gamble like a fool, which led to problems that no longer justified it. I didn't want to give up gaming though so I changed my gaming behavior and implemented safeguards to not affect my life further. I can live with that. Every now and then I fall back into old behavior patterns, like yesterday, then I pull the reiss leash.
My way does not have to be your way, you have to find it yourself.
Good luck.
