I have to talk a bit here, but hopefully it won't be too long.
I'm Mark, 30 years old and addicted to gambling. Predominantly sports betting for 12 years, machines rather less.
I lost everything because of my addiction, my fiancée, all my possessions, my savings turned into 25,000 euros in debt. I lose jobs all the time because I am not concentrated by following bets at work or processing losses, but I have a degree and I am quite qualified for a reasonable job.
Last month I got blocked via Oasis and was game free for a month. Then unfortunately saw that Oasis apparently does not apply to Pokerstars and bang, 800 euros gambled away. Rent not paid, all debits reversed, I do not know what to do. Thinking about Pokerstars to make a little pressure to get my money back possibly by existing Oasis lock, great hope I do not have.
It is the same every month, I have tried everything, every therapy, nothing has helped. It is a torture to get up day after day and not look forward to anything, just worry...my life is already in the bucket before it started, too much I have irrevocably lost, I don't mean money....
My dear how are you today? I hope very much, better ! I have done much more and it is always an up and down.at least I have myself so far under control that I can not even throw a cigarette on the street without a guilty conscience! You are still so young and life is not so bad I'm sure you can do it!
How are you doing now?
Your story is really hard.
Especially losing your fiancée etc., that's much worse than losing money.
I hope you get out of it and hope that you could detach yourself from all platforms like Julian said.

Hello Mark,
i just found the second post from you here. Julian has already told you some things, which I can only emphasize at this point. Maybe you are no longer active here, because you have successfully taken the first step. Should you still get lost in this forum. Please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to offer you initial advice and support in finding appropriate services in your area. Gambling addiction does not stop, but there are ways and possibilities to learn to deal with it differently.
