I think if you read her first post correctly there is no doubt left at all -that the tread writer is addicted to gambling.
Something I have before you @Manfrede4 - and that is that I know myself very well with addiction or with Gambling addiction - in addition I know unlike you contributions like from the TS correctly to interpret.
And so that you (maybe) also understand correctly, her contribution was a cry for help!

Find it interesting, however, how you glorify the / your playing - you play to win?
Then you should ask yourself where the billions in revenue come from, which e.g. the Gauselmann Group generates every year, or from the online gambling industry?

So you play to win, but so does the other side, I wonder who gets the short end of the stick? ... Hahahahaha - You made my day

I think that the biggest step here would be to confide in your husband.

If he sincerely loves you and you really want to change something, then you will tackle the matter together...

It should be clear to you that this cannot be done overnight

I can imagine that you are under enormous pressure... which you probably make yourself in the first place... "Hopefully the others do not get it with..." and similar trains of thought...

Talk to your husband about it... I think people who are addicted to gambling need someone to take them by the hand and lead them back on the right path... I just can't imagine that you can do it alone...


I wish you all the best!

LG

Then you say maybe now in the month 800 euros gambled away, try next only half.If with me only gambling in the head is I think to myself, what prevents me to gamble in 2h and now do something else.If I do not manage it, I take me a rubber make in my wrist pull hard on it and my thoughts are somewhere else.You can see everything negatively, be a little more positive, do something with the children, the casinos do not run away. I assume that many have played beyond their means. "Gambling addiction is for me when you want nothing more than gambling, that does not sound so with them"
Now my reasons
1 I gamble to win money.
2 Because it is fun for me
3 Because I am distracted
If it was only about point 1 I would stop immediately.

I don't know anyone who gambles purely for fun. Logically, everyone wants to win and point 3 applies to most people. Point 2 applies when you win, because then you suddenly have fun.

If you gamble more than you want, you are already addicted. Of course, the addiction increases in the beginning, but not to infinity. Someone who is addicted to chocolate will not eat 400 bars a day. In any case, someone here wants to stop or moderate himself and has difficulties whether you consider it an addiction or a preliminary stage is up to you.

I also saw myself as an addict although I played with limits and therefore now stopped because I realize that I can not optimally adhere to their own rules. Wish the thread creator good luck, there are many places to which you can report or even first to the telephone counseling where you can talk everything off your chest.

as a player you play only to max 25% for fun I always wanted to win and show I can and am. As a player, you are often not in control. I find playing often also not relaxing just when 200-250 spins nix comes it is more of a burden.

My husband doesn't know I play games on and off
Am working full time myself and hiding my addictions

Oh god then it's time and urgent, alone you (almost) can't make it out of the addiction.
You will feel better if you talk to your husband about it, this is certainly not an easy way, but the way out of the view is never easy!
It should be your first step to tell your husband!
I wish you much success with it!

Please read exactly what I wrote.I wrote if it is only about winning I would not play anymore.
I gamble because it is my hobby. What would she like to hear? Do this and that and you will have no problems tomorrow. When is a gambling addiction? When I gamble every day, when I gamble beyond my means, when I neglect my family. When everyone thinks she is a gambling addict and she is ok.I can't judge this person I don't know her.Again I gamble because it is my hobby.As I wrote before,if it was just about winning I would buy stocks or something.If you want to know.I used to be a gambling addict too.I went to the arcade every day and gambled away all my money.I was at the bottom.I was in a really bad place.I don't want to offend anyone.If she is really addicted you should help her.
I would in her place maybe think about whether there are other problems.I have come out of the addiction because I have looked for another hobby.This costs me much less money.

Hey Manfrede,
i personally don't care if you play - even if your hobby is burning money, go ahead, it always made me hot back then

I just found your assistance or your assessment what the Threadstellerin concerns something off.

Otherwise, I wish you of course a lot of game fun and entertainment

It's all a mental thing, many just talk and change nothing and then still want to catch pity. Every adult should know what gambling does to you in the long run. Without help, it's hard to get out of it. Excuses do not count. I've also managed to tackle and do.

Maybe I expressed myself incorrectly.So I gamble for fun.Why do that then to win money and only that.If it is so I would buy shares. If you gamble more than you want you are already addicted.If you call it addiction I guess 99% of gamblers are addicted.
I don't know anyone who gambles purely for pleasure.There are people who smoke who drink everything for pleasure.I gamble because it's fun for me.Of course it's great to win and crap to lose.If gambling wasn't fun for me I wouldn't do it anymore.

Stocks and online casino are not well comparable now, both are Games of chance but both appeal to different audiences. Why do people spend money on gambling? Because they have the hope that their worries will disappear in one fell swoop, how often have I read in chat during some battles in the casino "Why do I never manage x points?" Yes, why do the "others" always manage it and I don't? Then you just play until you have "made it". So many shoot themselves in the leg again and again, until they can no longer run.

And when you gamble away 400 € again, then you get angry and it pulls you down, then it may not always be an addiction - but an action that you would not like to repeat in the future. I myself am a very bad loser and can hardly let it sit on me, a habit that contributes to the fact that I do not always have myself well under control. Although I am working on it, but will probably always remain in part. And a statement that here 99% are addicted, if you define it that way - I can not exactly confirm the number. But a large part here has not always perfectly under control when playing.
