Control with certain routines ?

I've been thinking for the last few weeks if it's possible to get the Gambling addiction under control a little bit in a routine
To find out, I will start next month

At the moment I play every day, but now I want to reduce this to a certain amount of money to 4 times a month



How I plan this ?

I say for example only on Saturdays. To couple it with a certain trigger that triggers the memory "search" only when I feel like it,
i will create a certain routine on Saturday evenings

It starts already Simpel with it:

Running to the store, buying n pack of beer (Becks ice ) or energy drinks. 50 paysafe, and on the way back ne pizza


Then stop in the evening, quite simple beer or choice white nen energy drink, and ne pizza Futtern, Cozy by the way on Twitch cozy Streamer watch
and play in the OC

So I hope that manifests itself as a new trigger


anyone experiences with this ? can this go well to create a new routine that lets looking with new triggers a little control ?

You must remember that the addiction is only calmed if you also win properly. So it can be that it first goes well then one Saturday bad bad then the next Saturday again bad and suddenly you think to yourself that can't be and pays suddenly but more than planned

Is just a thought...

Exactly so it often ends. If it runs well or mediocre and the money at least keeps itself is everything ok. But if it rattles once just unexpectedly fast down to zero then it becomes critical, because a little goes there always.

This won't work, because you will then fix your mind on Saturday and end up thinking about nothing.

It is better to think about why you play or what the game replaces for you. Think about what you get out of playing (fun, excitement, etc.) and try to get that from somewhere else.

I've been trying to get everything under control for a long time. The only thing that helps is to completely replace trigger with other things that have no relation to the game. Setting limits is ok in principle - but the dangerous thing about what you are trying to do is a ritual - not a routine.

Just try the way I currently go: limit your Deposit possibilities in terms of amount and type. Limit casinos to one. Do your session when you feel like it and then close the account for a week or whatever. You get used relatively quickly to the fact that you no longer play so much.

And it also comes back to the attraction of small stakes. Also, the incentive to continue playing is smaller because the higher wins on low stakes are even rarer. 1000x on 0.10 are just 100€ and not 5,000 as with 5.00 bet. Sure the Multiplier is the same - but the sum is no longer so appealing.

For me currently the most sensible way to control until the complete abandonment.

It also makes sense to set a target for payout. Let's say you deposit 20 euros and determine that you pay out at 60 euros.

There are just casinos where the payout is lockable or you can set a loss limit.

I also find that this is not a routine but a ritual like when you brush your teeth in the evening before going to bed it becomes normality and that's the dangerous thing about it because in the long run if you want to get away from gambling rituals are hard to break because who thinks in the evening do I go brush my teeth or do I not go brush my teeth?

then we call it ritual. But that have many ?
Whether I do Saturday party bowling or bowling go. Or just OC. I mean in the OC I could make a 20 if necessary to a 100. in the club he is certainly gone

It is already "fun" you would have it under control

As soon as you start to put the gambling over social undertakings you should think about it.

Well, basically it hardly differs. At least as far as the money is concerned. If you can control it then .


Where a hardcore party goer also likes times 200 euros or more Saturday skin out, although he wanted to spend only 50

The difference is probably that gambling dangerously schenll makes addicted
What happens when partying now rather not
