Hello, I would like to confess to my Gambling addiction, I have been gambling excessively for 10 years now and in that time lost about 50000-75000, money I eigtl do not have. I borrowed money at some point with excuses and somehow paid it back. The last 6 months in gambling and betting I have lost about 7000 euros and not won once. Every time I was broke on the 5th of the month or at the latest on the 10th. Today I have gambled away my last 500 euros and I am ashamed of myself.I could not stop playing! As so often. I sat for hours as always in the same hall and tried it as always without success. From 40 times to 2 Euro times there were only rivets in the free games. The last 100 I invested in a Paysafecard where I was 280 euros online in front and lost everything again belm Blackjack. I lost every hand and didn't hit any sidebets. Meanwhile I have depression suicidal thoughts because I do not enjoy anything. I eat only if I have to! I live only as I must. I am now at a point where I could really cry and that with over 39 years. My gambling addiction knows only my uncle the rest I have not told it. I think every month that the big win will come, which is completely bananas but that's how you are as a gambler. Are there people here who feel the same way? Would be grateful for any help and answer.

Hello... I deliberately do not call you by your username... which probably applies to many of us. Welcome...

I am not someone who has eaten wisdom with spoons, but I don't need that to feel what you are going through. Because the most important thing for this realization is the common experience.

It is useless to brood so much that you even think about the end of your life. You can't undo what happened, so leave it behind. See it as a lesson from which you have learned. What matters is what you do with it now... are you still willing to screw yourself? Or is it finally time to tell yourself, hey... I'm not stupid... ever again.

There is such a nice saying...

"The loser is not the one who falls to the ground, but the one who remains lying"

Now get up, tell yourself that was "Only" money, which as we know comes and goes and comes and goes.... etc. But I do not give up and do it better now.

Your mother did not bring you into the world with a 2 € coin and three books... but naked... and addiction-free. What you needed to survive was given. It is also possible now to regain this state, let go of the acquired luxury needs, because they are anything but vital.

Stay away from all gambling halls, OCs etc.. The first few days you may find it difficult, but man is a servant of his habits and where there is a will, there is a way.

All the best... wishes you... someone who has put an end to years of excessive gambling and is now alive again.

And if you have a few euros left, buy the book "Antispieler". It will distract you - you will eat it up while reading! Much will be familiar to you and you will read a lot of things that will help you...

You should get professional help immediately and urgently. Caritas or from your family doctor. Depression is not something to be trifled with.

The sooner you get help, the sooner it will pass. This is no longer fun, but an illness that can be treated. If you had broken your leg, you would certainly do something about it right away.

The best thing is to start today. If necessary, call the anonymous telephone helpline.

Thank you for your kind tips. I really take it to heart. I am generally totally unhappy be it residential technical or normal. That sounds funny but I also play because it is mega noisy and brighthörig at home. You can hardly find an apartment in a big city. For me, the spielothek is like a place of escape. Nobody is annoying. Last night I hardly slept because this loss was very close to me. I can hardly put my stupidity into words. I remember at 250 euros + I listen to no more round of Blackjack . When I was under 100, I gambled it all away. I have no more money, I was so stupid. I have to change my life but it's hard for me. Especially since my bf moved to Switzerland, I often feel alone. I myself was once 3 years game free and proud as Oskar. Meanwhile, I am already so befuddled and superstitious that whenever I go to play on Wednesday lose! That is from 8 to 10 times the case. When I go to play, e.g. times 150+ have what is already ur rare I go. But instead of buying something nice with the win, double and triple is gambled away. Yesterday z.b came only so, from the operation today you have not lost much. Since I thought to myself really you stupid cow what comes into your head to talk like that. How long are you free of play? How much were your losses. Thank you for all your kind words.

Unfortunately, I am not free of gambling - but I have now narrowed it down a lot. Spielos I visit max 1-2 in the year and online I have set up limits at my favorite casinos. At casinos where I do not like to play or which are simply sxheisse I have 1/2-1 year timeouts set. In addition still immediately Banking block let u d everything is times "mechanically" so aligned that there are no more control losses and alggemein losses keep within limits. The head wash lasts however somewhat longer - I remove myself slowly from the game - ruckzuck has
Often nothing brought.

Had a loss of control the night before last that is still bothering me a lot today.

I was able to play my way up to 1,600 euros with a small Deposit at 777. Got 350x on Nightmare on Elm Street and a banner lit up with 1,000 Euro Win. The small Jackpot was already around 2,000 euros and the big one at almost 20,000 euros. I really wanted to have one of those and since the spins were going great for over 1 hour, I put all the wins back in. Down to 0
Always the belief, it must go, it comes yet. Or I play me at least back to 1,500 euros high and then cashe from
Hundreds of times in my life similar already experienced and again fallen in

Great thanks for your answers. I will definitely avoid the Spielo for now. The problem is I go in with 200 and these are gone in 25 min approx and get supplies. 800-900 loss were it this month in the Spielo. Online about 250 with deposits. Unfortunately, comes with me nothing at all. I also don't know which games run well online I never make it to 500+. Do you have any favorite games? Thanks for your openness is really good. Through all the gambling I have lost a lot and disappointed many! I have won nothing for 6 months unfortunately. Find it great that you have set a limit should also do it.

Up to now you have shown yourself to be very reasonable. Therefore it surprises me that you ask for
Game favorites of the players here

First, it doesn't mean that you automatically win, just because some slots might be
better than others or the player was lucky, and secondly it must not matter to you, because you want to quit
want to quit. If someone tells you that he won 2000€ yesterday at slot A, then that triggers you again, and you are
you again, and you are again in the middle of it. You have recognized yourself that you have already lost more than enough
lost
Listen to Samira, and leave it at that, it will only get worse. Even if you win, you will lose
You'll lose ten times as much.

That's why this question is a hint for me that you haven't found the beginning yet.
if you were really serious, you wouldn't have asked the question, you wouldn't care.

Welcome to the Forum,

Sharing your problem with the public is probably the first good step.
As the other users have already written above, your problem will not be solved automatically if you have a high win,
your addiction will only be strengthened and you will put more and more into the machines.

Personally, I would advise you to make other relatives, friends or in the best case, of course, your partner aware of your problem.
Maybe there is the possibility that someone could give you an alternative to gambling, there are so many hobbies and leisure activities that are much cheaper and especially better for the psyche.

Another step would be to exclude yourself from gambling, and then use the time to seek professional help. There are a number of organizations on the Internet where those affected or at Risk of Gambling addiction can turn to:
