Hello people

i have once again gambled away everything and this has been going on for years and even so far that I can not even pay my bills and am therefore highly indebted.
There are days when I do not even have something to eat which is really a very bad feeling.
i have decided to arrange a self-exclusion everywhere.
I simply have no more strength and do not know what to do.
There is no help have already tried everything and will probably have to try to create it myself.
Player protection there is none at all because otherwise it would not be possible to lose all his money.
I wish the casinos everything imaginable bad that there is.
Oh man I hope I somehow manage to get away from the search and somehow survive.
Please be careful so you don't have to go through the same thing....

I had a phase in life where it was similar for me. Also for you the Tip, survive the February and then as soon as
Coal comes to the ATM and withdraw everything in cash. Leave something in the account, transfer bills and try for 2-3 months to find another hobby

Therapy? Or is there something like the anonymous gamblers? ^^
How you definitely first get rid of is get rid of your gadgets. Get an old cell phone, not a smartphone. Tablet, laptop, computer....give it for a month or two to a friend or girlfriend. Talk to someone and ask them to help you and "control" you so to speak. If you put yourself under the obligation to be accountable to others, to disappoint them, to disappoint yourself, to break promises, you have another, not necessarily stopping, but still existing pressure point not to gamble. Avoid opportunities to gamble secretly. Withdrawing money is only of limited help because there are paysafe cards and if the store is not far, the next Deposit will not be either. If you still have the feeling you would not make it give your money to a friend or your parents again with the request for help and allocation of the money. The whole thing is not a permanent state and serves only times the first cold turkey. The Tip to look for a new hobby is absolutely worth its weight in gold. Don't get too bored and keep yourself busy. Get new email addresses so that you are not even confronted with the topic. Get your friends to change the passwords of your old addresses without them telling you the password so you won't be tempted. The first attempt to seek help here is not wrong but seek it in real life because in that you also sit at home and gamble everything away and have your worries. A good thing is also to block your accounts....ALL accounts...Without exception and not only those you can "represent" and others again not because you have played there particularly gladly and there perhaps sometime again would like to play
Don't be ashamed of therapies or medical help or talking to friends/family. What do you think how many people there are with the problem? and to openly seek help is not ashamed, but is usually rewarded by the field with recognition and respect. And Gambling addiction is one of the most insidious addictions because it tickles your dreams and hopes and gives you nothing in return. A heroin junkie gets more out of his addiction than you do, because at least he has his high, even if both bring you to the same gutter.
You will find that gambling addiction is like any other addiction. Going cold turkey is hard, but don't play for a month or two. You will ask yourself how you ever felt the way you do right now and were so addicted to it. The most important thing of all is just....Don't ever start again
ANYTHING that is addictive can be enjoyed up to a certain point without consequences...no matter if it is drugs, gambling, sex addiction....whatever. But at a certain point, you have then f**ked up this "drug". From that point on you will not be able to do it in a controlled way anymore. Do coke once a year and do it for two weeks at a time. Drink alcohol once a month or a month at a time. Smoke a cigarette while partying and smoke for two weeks. Play once a round in the casino.....You realize what I'm getting at a dry alcoholic can sometime drink a beer without becoming an alcoholic again or someone who has stopped smoking smoke a cigarette. If you have a "drug" and there I count gambling times to but once screwed up, you will always be a dry gambler or whatever and you are 80% faster back in it than the first time. I wish you in any case all the best and much success

And don't blame the casinos or the lack of Player protection that only takes effect when you Deposit too much in ONE casino, but that will be spread out, won't it? A casino is a purely commercial operation that not for nothing always advertises, you should see the game as entertainment and not as a realistic opportunity to earn money. If you would drink everything in the disco, you would not get the idea to curse the disco because no one there pays attention that you stay within your budget, right? or curse the retail if you were addicted to shopping. YOU are the only one responsible for it and not the casinos that didn't take care of you because YOU made the decision to deposit there every time....and you can also decide not to do it anymore even if you need help.

Do it like this. Go bottle Deposit collect so that you have 3-4 euros per week, so you can go to the table. The important thing now is to survive the month of February! Then on the money receipt day 28 February cash at the machine and best give a trusted person

And as I said, another hobby is important. Something no idea go in nem sports club or deal with conspiracy theories of all kinds
Something that takes time and distracts you

Try somehow to reach a halfway normal standard of living again. You can only help yourself

Umpa, may I know where you live? Maybe there's someone here in the forum, who goes shopping with you times the most necessary. I would have no problem to take you on Saturday times to Netto or Kaufland I'm in Berlin.

Counseling is essential for you and your future and I don't have to be a psychologist for that
If you seriously want to change something in your lifestyle (because otherwise there are always weak moments - and you start again slowly) then take the step and do a therapy.

Without therapy I promise you that gambling will always catch up with you.
Do something good for yourself and your mental health and do that.

Wow you are really great! There should be more people like you... Then the world would be a little nicer for many people.

Well, whether that's the right thing to do, to help a person out of it, I doubt it. I think he has already lied enough and borrowed money

At least that's the typical way.

Does it really help to help him out then?

Sometimes you just have to squeeze your butt cheeks together.

When people post back here, it is said that it is without any objections, and you should stand by your debts and live with them.
What is then with this?
