Yes that's what I always think to myself that it's only 6-7 k to be nothing at the end of my life.

I am already active in sports
I have to do a lot with friends etc.
Only if they want to go shopping and I don't buy anything after x times then they will also check it out
well there's nothing I can do about it now I'm going to my mum's on sunday or preferably next sunday because she's the only one there and we'll see how it turns out

Don't wait, don't make excuses, just do it, you're still young, it's not over yet. Take me as an example, I've lost a lot and had to learn from it.

Hello,

it all sounds pretty awful what you're saying. But you're certainly not stupid for playing again. You're just really stuck in it. You have to do everything you can to get out of it. Get yourself banned.... You can do this via the OASIS online platform. Talk to your mother and your relatives. They will no doubt be disappointed and angry at first. But I'm sure that they will understand you after a while. As you're already in pretty deep, it certainly makes sense to seek professional help. I work at an addiction counseling center. We also offer online counseling if you don't feel comfortable going to a counseling center near you in person. You are welcome to write me a direct message or contact me via the PlayChange platform under the name "Susanne Schmidt".

Another Tip: find alternatives to gambling, distract yourself. Do sport or meet up with friends. Do what's fun and good for you. Anything is better than gambling again.

I wish you the best of luck and keep my fingers crossed that you make it. Don't give up!

Best regards


Susanne

You are right, just the disappointment from my mom will be so big...

My girlfriend only knows that I have money not that I gamble so much... either keep quiet or chat but she hates gambling and starts a constant discussion when I bet 5€ with a colleague

Your girlfriend doesn't seem to be completely wrong.... If she stays with you, then you've found the right one.
Your mother will help you, there's no question about it, you just have to want it yourself and that's the point.
