i'm pleased that there have been so many new replies here. I am grateful to each and every one of you for your answers, I really am. I'm feeling much better now. I have my next appointment tomorrow. Walking and yes, walking through nature and the forest helps me a lot. It's really healing for the soul. But I didn't have a panic attack today after 1 week, my first "mini" attack again. But it went away after a few minutes.

Thank you for sharing your experiences! I've also been reading along and it's always scary how deep this whole gimmick can go into the psyche. I wish you continued strength along the way Please keep us up to date
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you too. Therapy is one thing. Sorry to say that. I've also been in therapy (but not for gambling) The important thing is that you stay away from all triggers. And some people here who are in therapy etc. still write here. I also enjoy reading these reports. But isn't it a trigger for you, for example, when you see the winning pictures or something? So please don't misunderstand. I'm asking because I'm interested.

Actually, I haven't even gone to the winning pictures or anything since day one. Just my private messages and the thread here. Also I have to say I have no urge to play at all. This "disgustingly bad" feeling keeps me from playing. Knowing that when I play, the problems get worse keeps me from EVER playing again. Never again.
And thank you for the good comments and for keeping my fingers crossed. It's a back and forth, one day I'm fine and the next day not so good. It's just how it is, a matter of time. But it's still very limiting in terms of quality of life.

Can I ask you if you have enough money at the moment? I mean, do you currently have money that you would have used for gambling before?
I know that many addicts don't gamble when they don't have the money. That doesn't necessarily mean that these people are broke. There are also some who pay their rent, food, etc. and perhaps even have a little money on the side, but have budgeted a certain amount of money for gambling. And if this surplus money is missing, then they don't play either. But as soon as money comes from somewhere or has been saved up, they start playing again.

It was always the same for me. But it's not like that anymore, I have money to play. I would definitely have used it for gambling before. I really don't know, but it's kind of a blessing. Both the pressure to gamble and the pressure to smoke cigarettes are completely gone. Believe me, these panic attacks are so bad that you really don't think about the addiction anymore. You just want to be healthy again and never have to experience something like that again. You are 100% aware that you will never play again

I also get palpitations and stomach ache.
And that is also noticeable in everyday life, then I become insecure, quickly nervous. I then also start to feel more in control. So control compulsions.
That has an effect on the brain.
Because you're only under stress when you're playing.
The author is right . Good that you go for a walk .
Exactly. You're always under constant stress, both before and after and during gaming. Sweaty palms, nervous, tense, etc. And that can be harmful to your head in the long run. Man ey I also feel unwell almost every day and it's so unpleasant.
Yes, exactly. You are always under constant stress, both before playing and after and during the game. Sweaty hands, nervous, tense, etc. And that can be harmful to your head in the long run. Man ey I also feel unwell almost every day and it's so unpleasant.
I always have headaches and neck pain after gaming. Because the muscles contract and cramp from the tension. For 2 days now.

But that doesn't sound quite as normal as you feel when gaming.

to be honest, the GJ crew seem a bit worried when they read this I think you once said that you spend hours watching the results via the live ticker on your cell phone. After a few hours in that position, I think everything would hurt from my head to my back, including my cramped hands ...Maybe you could move the action to a large desktop where you could sit and relax in front of it

oh your comments are very nice but I don't want to attract so much attention or put myself in the foreground.
i have now also paid off my balance and am taking a break. I also took a long break in January, but then I made a win on sports betting on January 19, and then I overdid it again. Now I'm not depositing anything either ...
I should really take a more relaxed view of gambling or stop. Thank you dear community
And one night before I went on vacation, I even sat in front of my cell phone until 7 a.m. to watch bets. And then I got up at 8:30 and had a long 3 hour drive ahead of me. But it all went well ...
