Good evening everyone,
i would like to warn you in advance that this post could be long, but I just have the urge to get everything off my chest.
My "gambling career" began in 2014, when a friend took me to Spielo. At that time, I was able to get out about 170€ with 10€.
From then on we played regularly, at some point I also started going to Spielo alone. Since I just had a separation behind me, my daughter was all day in kindergarten and I only worked part-time I drove me there the hours....
In the beginning, I only spent small amounts of money, but then it got out of hand. I got depressed, but couldn't stop gambling.
I gambled away the child benefit, the rent, borrowed money everywhere, took away Deposit bottles to put 2.50 € in a vending machine... thereby I have lost 2x my apartment and stood at the end without everything there, did not even have furniture.
Fortunately and with the help of friends I got out of the situation and was completely free of gambling for 2 years.
For some reason I registered at StarGames and won with 20€ deposit 600€, which I immediately gambled away again
My partner (whom I met during the time without gambling) got wind of it and said we could try it again with 20€ (he had no contact with gambling before). Well, we gambled through 2 days, took turns and came to a total of 3000 €. Of this I gambled alone again 1200€, the rest I let pay out.
So it went until today - partially returned debits to be able to gamble, accumulated debts, just unbelievable how you can sink so low...
Well then I was lucky again and won a total of 12000€. 8000€ we have used to repay the accumulated Debt, 4000€ I have gambled away again alone.
I win basically directly at the 1st deposit; I just can not stop and so at some point really everything is gone.
Last week 1200€ won and not paid out; today it was 600€. I can not and do not want to continue like this, especially since I was really 2 years completely free of gambling.
I have now set a limit in each of the 100 OCs in which I am registered,
But it's just that as soon as I have money in my account, I want to gamble it all away...
My partner takes most of the money out of the account, but instead of paying bills with the rest, I gambled it away again.
That's why I decided today to stay gambling-free for the next few weeks. I've overcome the depression I had back then; I've more or less got my life back under control and before I screw it all up again I'm trying to get away from it.
And the second step (after setting the limits), was to write all this down here and to remind myself that it's time to pull the ripcord.
Thank you for reading!
I wish you all the strength to stick it out (if you want to)

Hello lalelu,
this is truly a heavy story and I think it is very good that you are now trying to get out of this vicious circle.
Sometimes, however, good will is not enough and you should perhaps consider getting professional help from outside, in addition to the other measures you have already taken.
This could be therapy or a visit to a self-help group with like-minded people.
I would be happy for you if you manage without any of these things, but that is only the case for very few people.
From me, however, from the bottom of my heart, good luck for your project.

This is really a bad and sad story. I think without therapy it will probably not work and I hope that you decide for the sake of your family.
Therapy helps nicfht always I have also made 4 pieces and still gamble. people say much too fast and simply make therapy that helps. but is nonsense! who wants to stop it must do it yourself a therapy can be supportive or you can learn strategies but if you do not want it yourself or the necessary willpower has it even with 100 therapies nothing.
I think even therapies help little that's right.it must click in one's own head.

So who gambles away such high wins should be committed or make a long therapy. I myself do not have this luck I am rather the fraction epidemic bird. Up to two times I have always only purebuttert. A car, a house. All thanks to gambling houses. Without help it does not go. Good luck to you.

Why you do not pay out such big wins..I would do it.
Click on pay out, calm down and look forward to the money.
To be game-free is of course the best option and I wish you good luck.
