Hello,

i have to write in here now because I have to tell someone.

To my story, my name is Sonja I'm 32 years old and have a little daughter and a husband:-), actually everything would be great if not this modest Gambling addiction, I started about 5 years ago, only small amounts and only online, I have always won and won and won, and from then on it started with the addiction, I have always paid more and higher stakes, well end of the story was that I took in December 2017 a loan of 6500 euros. Then it was over for the time being, then I did 1 year of therapy and then this year it started again, I have only won until today, now I'm standing there and have charged my credit card with just under 4000 euros and no account is with 1000 euros in the minus and the money my husband has transferred to me I have of course immediately used again in the hope that I can at least get a part back in.... Well now I could take a loan with usurious interest but I think to me if I take a loan then everything is good again. But it would be best that I just abstottere otherwise I never learn it.

So now I just had to let it out and hope that no one else happens something like that, and I hope for my daughter and my husband that I do not make any nonsense because I'm really at the end and do not know how it should go on.

For my spelling I apologize

Well, you have no choice but to take out a new loan and never gamble again. If you have already had therapy, nothing will help you except to give control over your money to someone you trust. Otherwise, even the loan will probably only help until the next relapse. All the best and I hope you make it

Credit? with usurious interest rates? with the low interest rate policy? Ne rather take no credit, only if it is really necessary...

Let your husband do the money stuff that helps. (Unless he is also a gambler that would be bad) If you need money he has to give it to you. Cards give him also. He should hide. Then you have only a small possibility to Deposit something, which you will do for sure, but then it will be small amounts and at some point you think that's not good. Then you will stop on your own. Hope this helps. Good luck and think of your family

I don't know what your credit rating is. But in general, the house bank should be a good contact for the rather manageable sum. You should bundle the outstanding amounts and pay them off in one monthly installment. Of course, you have to give up gambling and look for another pastime. Good luck!

Hello,

Thank you for the nice answers, well I have another choice I could just pay it off but for sure I would need 5 years, but so I learn from it otherwise I have money available again and give cards is a good idea but unfortunately the credit cards are stored everywhere.....and as an addict unfortunately always finds a way to Deposit money, I think that it must just finally click and I must finally understand that it does not matter what I win because sooner or later I will gamble it away again anyway

But thank you, and wish you a nice weekend:-)

Oh and the problem is that I would have to pay this usurious interest since I have also very much with immediately deposited and most banks want to have yes account statements:-(

Credit card should be blocked or how much limit do you have? Sofortüberweisung can be blocked at the bank with certainty

A therapy can only be successful if the subject (in this case "gambling addiction") really wants to stop gambling.

Until now, no "gambling addiction" therapy has cured anyone, which means that if you do not stay on the ball - aftercare or the like - mostly for years, then it is only a matter of time until it comes to a relapse!

To the aftercare it belongs e.g. also to protect itself... - and casually said you failed here on whole line.
(No offense meant, just take note of it or according to the motto, what could I do better in the future?)


@Raupe has here yesterday still a link set....

How about that you start to lock yourself everywhere -
secondly, follow what they have given you in your therapy mitn way?

@ gamble, I have a limit of 5000 euros and could pay it off in installments

@ichbins2018, you're absolutely right I am an adult woman and everyone is responsible for their own actions and YES I have failed across the board:-(
I will now for the time being everywhere to block me and thank you for your advice:-)
