My Tip: You have to contrast the not gambling anymore and the urge to do it with something really great and positive for you. This can also be something material that you will soon be able to afford and treat yourself to with the money you haven't gambled away. If you make a plan out of it and stick to it (keyword implementation competence) this is the very best remedy against depression.

And above all, always be clear to yourself that in this process the way is the goal, including setbacks and detours. Addiction describes the unavoidable desire for a certain state of experience, which you can't just get out of your head.

All the best !

Your plan sounds motivated, that's cool. If you don't enjoy gambling anymore,
and you consider yourself a gambling addict, this is exactly the right step.
Quitting based on conviction is very strong and can work.

What if the trigger is stronger than reason and you gamble again?
Or your sister is not available?
But there can also be relapses. Alone here in the forum with cool winning pictures, commercials on TV, etc..

If you make a realistic long-term plan, you should also plan for a relapse, so that this does not completely destroy your way out of the addiction and make you resign.

Good luck.

Thank you for your attention to my problem.

I do sports have bought me some stuff which was also not cheap, these tips I also have from here, I'm looking for short goals that I reach quickly so I feel good and have there again what I still have to implement. super Tip bro!

We have talked about this very topic
Since in my family some are addicted to gambling

My uncle and my father are addicted to gambling
And my sis says that it is hereditary and that I will never be completely free of it
But guys if i didn't keep trying i wouldn't be where i am now and on the good way

Had more setbacks than I can pay for
But here we go, giving up is not an option for me and even if I have a setback I think the most important thing is to be honest with my family and myself

Because I also lied to myself
I tell you that was all just sick
What I have talked myself into
Embarrassing and stupid
But well maybe you have to fly once very low on the face

But you all overwhelm me, strong community
You do not know how good it does to get such an encouragement!

Love to all and that will already obstacles are there to cross them and all the better if you have some behind you

Mal ne question to all how do you deal with denn depressions?
Do you have any at all? If I would continue to do so, I would not hold out long
That one eats everything so in itself, thoughts, emotions and so on in the rausch one does not notice that and mostly I tried that simply to suppress or ignore but that has only made it worse

What triggered your depression ... Gambling? -and if it were so (or not) nevertheless it would be advisable to have both (professionally) treated!

I myself have sworn off gambling several years ago (after more than 30 years of gambling) - I have not been completely spared from depression.
However, not during my gambling time, but afterwards and after I became aware of how much lifetime I have gambled away.
I never mourned the money I gambled away (7 digits) -but everything I missed in three decades, that hurt like hell
GsD my depressions were still within limits (a few months) - but still, from coma patient / zombie / ice block (so I felt as a gamer) to non-gamer, that was / is already a huge step.
I can judge that with you as a layman of course difficult, so what concerns your depression.
Personally I could make clear to myself that,
1) I cannot change my past.
2) Only I am responsible for my feelings.
Points 1 and 2 have maneuvered me out of my (probably mild depression?) and maybe you can start there?
And if not then I would - as I have already written above - have this depression (absolutely) professionally treated
As for your addiction - the exchange with like-minded people but also with professionals I put you to heart - and you should not underestimate this DISEASE (which is basically underestimated by the carrier) in any case.

Whether this forum can help to bring your addiction to a standstill - in the case of a wet player I have my doubts - but of course you decide for yourself

Personally, I like to read here as a "former" - and if this forum had existed 30 years earlier - I would have quit gambling 28 years earlier.

I was so said a high roller...and it is mainly the low rollers who profit from it -and basically those are the laughing third, the only ones who profit from gambling (as said)
Exactly the kind of users who defend gambling here tooth and nail.
However, as an addict, you no longer belong to this type of player (that should be clear to you?!) -and thus, as a player, you can and will only lose.

I wish you all the best - and by the way - VERY GOOD DECISION - but only as good as you know how to defend yourself or allow external help.

What mega anp**st is the bwin group and tipico there you can easily reopen his account

Do you know how I lock myself there permanently without the acc to be able to activate again?

It is a cheek that gambling addicts are so fooled.

I want to thank everyone here without gamblejoe who I never come so far and all the amounts have helped me a lot

I sat down with my sister and locked myself out of everything the hardest part was confessing it to my family,
to confess it to my family I have shown everything how much money I have gambled away and so on
it took a lot of strength but it is important to have people who help you and best of all your family because they only want the best for you

For everyone who wants to quit I offer to talk about it here and get courage and strength from here
No one is alone and together we can do it

This time I will not delete my account here
But as of today I am no longer a gambler.

Love friends!

That was the right decision. Wish you much strength and success 👍👍👍👍👍👍

I am actually a very social person and love to be with others,but because of gambling
I was very lost in my thoughts
Did not keep my friends and people close to me was very aggressive
Very emotional and very angry
It was always the others fault
But not me! And where I then became aware
I deppris why I became like that happened and was just sad as shit every day
That's why I say yes long I could not stand it
I had to find a way out because I didn't want to leave a scorched earth
It's just not right the casinos and the gambling houses
Ruining lives like we ain't worth a damn
That's enough I'm just done
And you are absolutely right without gj I would not have these insights either

I do not just start today
Have deleted me here before and
I've been gambling again and again and realized that I have to stop consciously it's better for me to learn to say no to gambling when I'm reminded of it every day! Because if I forget it and iwan again say oh come I'm fine can a psc hollen then I'm back...and that's to prevent the one I tried was not helpful this time so
That I actively every day say NO to gambling and YES for my life

Dankr for your post my friend!

But many thanks for your kind words
That motivates me, you are great!

For those who are interested

yesterday i wanted to get a psc for 20 again
But iwiet I do not want it, and I have taken all the courage together
Called my sister
And told her about it
She motivated me not to do it
And talked to me and I decided to stop, I asked her if she would help me to block me everywhere, because the step to block me at my regular casinos was hard,
These thoughts like a schizophrenic

Angel says stop and devil says no read a casino honesty has helped me
So that I told my sis exactly like that
It was a hard birth
But now I am well

And really people thank you❤



This will have been the best decision of your life when you look back someday

If you look at everything soberly you realize it does not bring you to a new level of life it rather prevents you to develop and sure you have it comfortable can switch off vill still win something but if you think about it carefully you only gain more experience with every win

Respect for your courage to tackle the problem now and you will make it if you believe in yourself it's like smoking once it clicks in your head no matter how much your body wants nicotine then you will make it against it

And in the end you are the biggest winner of all of us because you don't depend on these things anymore and you don't reduce your life to them Gambling is entertainment but at the same time also a weakness for everyone

Wish you all the best

Hey Peter8,

I find it really very strong that you have taken your courage together to entrust your problem to your family!
We at GambleJoe also wish you a lot of strength for your project!

As other users have already written, the Risk here on GambleJoe is of course very high that all the winning pictures, news articles or even the forum itself, could possibly influence you negatively in your current situation.

Which is why I would advise you to stay away from the forum completely for the time being to make the jump better.
Of course you always have the possibility to delete your account here under the settings:
https://www.gamblejoe.com/einstellungen/loeschen/

I would also advise you to sort out your social media, for example by temporarily unfollowing channels on Instagram / Facebook / Twitch that have something to do with gambling (whether Provider, Streamer or otherwise). The same goes for YouTube, I can imagine that otherwise it could be very unfavorable if any gamble videos are constantly suggested to you.

Despite everything, I want to thank you very much for your presence in the forum, and I wish you only the best for the future!

If you treat gambling for what it is...... Your money your power no money no gambling
You rule over the stores and not them over you

Most take it as a distraction from what is not good right now. If you would put the energy in the not good and would deal with it then gambling would be seen again as what it is...... Nix

I would never be able to completely renounce it. I have no desire for I have so much urge for a paysafe oh man I must not

But I am only entitled to do so if 99 percent of my life is lived in such a way that I have to feel bad about nothing

Everything else is just a game of hide and seek, being ashamed and lying

I hope for you that you manage to work on the real reason of your addiction
