My gambling addiction is excessive

I'm really glad I've never been to an arcade. I think that "familiar feeling", as you describe it, would have gripped me too. Especially when you have time to spend hours there, you really grow attached to that feeling. It will be all the more difficult to part with it again. I wish you every success.
Every day you manage is a success. The greater this success becomes, the easier it will be. In other words, the longer you hold out, the easier it will be to say no. You just have to manage a few days/weeks first.
Then you can say to yourself: no, I'm not going to throw away this success by becoming weak again.

The longer you persevere, the prouder you will be. You'll get your old strength back and one day you'll walk past the gym, spit in front of the entrance door and walk on happily and laughing...

In order to develop something like a familiar or at least interpersonal feeling in the casino here in Frankfurt, you would first need an interpreter. And even then I wouldn't come close to succeeding because I don't like the atmosphere at all. Playing at home is much more comfortable and concentrated...but like so many things, that's a matter of taste

It's the same for me, only antisocials or foreigners hang around there anyway, or both together

I also think that Duisburg's and Frankfurt's gaming scene can shake hands But apart from the fact that I simply don't want to spend my time with the majority of the regular clientele, I generally don't enjoy third parties looking over my shoulder while I'm playing. I also don't want to find out about other people who might then make a killing or go mercilessly bankrupt...Not my cup of tea. What's more, I can't document my gaming history in Excel In short: if there were no Online Casinos, I'd be out of the game from one day to the next.

Yes, you're right, some of the friendships have cost me a few more euros because usually when you want to leave, two or three people come who you haven't spoken to for a while and then you just like to stay there again


Basically I have no problem with foreigners many of my friends are also foreigners but currently this familiar feeling is decreasing more and more because now more and more often the hall is full with these asylum seekers foreigners according to the motto no German 0.0 % often behave loudly and think they can get away with everything from blocking devices and gambling on others in the time etc...

Of course not all of them are like that, but unfortunately the majority of those who are currently there and it takes the fun out of it

A few years ago, everyone from Turks to Serbs and Germans were in a nice circle, you got on with everyone, had fun, laughed together when you lost, but somehow it's all gone now

I also want to write to you here because I have always appreciated you as a user here.

I can recommend the tactic of burning ships. When Rene Descartes docked with his ships, he had them all burned so that there was no turning back.

You need to do exactly the same. Block all paths that could lead to gambling.

Get yourself banned from the arcades.
Block your online banking.
Create a system that prevents you from depositing.
Don't leave any loopholes open.

Blocking yourself from all Online Casinos is hardly possible, but block yourself from as many as possible due to gambling addiction.
If you don't want to do any of this, it's because you're addicted and afraid of what will happen if you stop pursuing it.

Gambling is destroying you and it will continue to destroy you until it's too late. You know that too. There's no way around it.

You're not gambling because you want to gamble, but because you're empty inside and you're compensating for something. But you're feeding an unruly dragon that will swallow you whole.
You're not just gambling for money, you're gambling your whole life away.
These are the facts.

So burn the ships, every one of them, so that there's no going back.

Sorry to rain on your parade, but you have to be a bit more realistic.

You will NOT be successful in your way. You're not even considering the first option of getting blocked. You are CONSCIOUSLY leaving all the back doors open, not seeking professional help and will therefore fail 100% of the time.

For the money you're shelling out, you can hire a Kosovo Albanian around the clock, he'll be your shadow and every time you even think about gambling, he'll rip out your fingernail. That'll take your mind off things...

I know it's Christmas, but I'm not Willi Wonka and sugar-coating it like most people do here only gives you a false sense of security...

Thank you for your honest, warm words. I'm currently not betting on soccer or anything else. I've had a lot of big losses and maybe 2-3 big wins this year. At the end of the day it drives me crazy and the lost time is gone unfortunately. The family atmosphere means that you are looked after all round. Eating cola coffee etc. as the perceived investor of the store. I don't think anyone is as stupid as me and spends money on cars. I tend to see little gamblers as little fools like me..in August I had the same situation, I made almost 5k in two days. That's why I'm taking your words to heart. I know the money is gone and will never come back but something inside me has died... This feeling inside is strange.

Believe me, the first few weeks are hard, but then you get used to it. I haven't been to a casino since February. Before that I only went once in January and before January I hadn't been for a year.

The last sports bet I made was also a year ago.

Many have also managed to quit thanks to the pandemic. Personally, I've found casinos boring ever since I found out about the conditions under which players have to gamble there, whereas elsewhere - online - you can play the way you want to play in complete comfort and without any problems. My time is too valuable for that. Secondly, the significantly lower payout ratio and winning opportunities.
