Gee Tropper, I seriously hope you make it with quitting. I know it when you gamble away and are very angry afterwards. But the machines are already set in advance that you will lose, the longer you play the bigger the loss and not "If I play enough I will eventually win". This is a sick misconception, then this loss afterwards gerenne...

Really screw the casinos, pay your dispo and stop it. This is no fun! Who begins to go into the minus for casinos, that is shortly before the complete crash. Because then come one insanely stupid thoughts in the head, yesterday I have 180 € verbraten (total paid out even more, still super p**sed and I thought I just pay in again and pick it up shortly LOL). If the parcel carrier had not rung, then I would certainly be in the red. After ringing I closed Trustly without entering TAN and threw me on the sofa and after years once again turned on the TV for the TV program, after a while cut some vegetables and it was really pleasant and relaxing.

We forget through casinos that there are cheaper ways to make life "nicer". I wish you a lot of strength, you will need it now - the first days after are hard because of the anger. The days where you then for the first time again by salary, etc. are again in the plus but can be even harder. I think to myself then always "Yes well have now X euro wage, I pay stop briefly a hundred a...or two...". It seems at some point to treat the wage as a win and I can slowly imagine how people manage to gamble away their monthly wages.

wise and sincere words. Take them to heart.

The 'one has won and gambles it away again' is not simply explained by greed.

I think there are 2 more points, 1. you play for a long time and would like to have the money again, what you have already lost (so according to the motto, finally I have the lucky streak, then I'm back at +/- zero, preferably still slightly in the plus and can stop with everything ), and the 2nd point is that the feeling of winning and the winning pictures are so comforting and enjoyable that you just want to have more (here the sense of achievement is more important than the money).

I also ended up with one foot in the addiction. Had played out of curiosity once, won immediately high (so compared to the stake) and thought to myself: oh, a great extra income, which is also fun.
I had done this only 2x at the beginning of the month.
The 3rd time I had lost of course and did not want to leave it like that. I had thought out my strategy, which already worked 2 times and that should please continue to work so
Then it went downhill. I had gambled away my savings in the shortest time, because I absolutely wanted to have my money back. In the short term, I also had no overview, I just kept depositing 100 euros, sometimes 300 or so again and suddenly everything was gone.

It was a lot of fun, but afterwards it turned into frustration. The aggressiveness, an anger about oneself, because one knows better that one will lose sooner or later (and not only money, but also quality of life) and is so stupid (I think that is addiction, a smoker also knows that it harms and smokes anyway).

I also had to explain recently, when after a longer period of time (I now only pay in a fixed amount and I mentally write it off immediately), when I won another larger sum, I played everything down again and my partner asked me why, he couldn't understand it either. I didn't want more money because I was so greedy, but because I was angry and wanted to get the savings back. Also, I imagined I had a lucky streak and again did not want to accept it when it became less, any moment it would surely come back

Well, I think that realizing that you are addicted is definitely the first step

I wish here to all who are addicted from the bottom of my heart a lot of success and believe in yourself, if you want it, you can do it (with help, that's not a shame either!).

And thank you to all who are so honest to tell here about themselves, this is also a good sign and a step towards healing!

The 50,000 was just an estimate but I thank you for your sympathy
Just wanted to bring in the reality and I think every gamer who has gambled for a long time (for me it is now 12 years), understands what I mean.

Have long played me further and further into addiction

It kept increasing until I cancelled every payout and gambled it away.

This month I have gambled away almost all my money with just under 8000 euros and thereby wins
over 4000 euros simply played down.

I am now in one of the worst lows of my life and am struggling to never play again,
because as it says in the title, playing is from a certain level the worst drug there is!

I don't know how they know that gambling is the worst drug.If they fight and think and everything revolves around gambling they will lose.They are at the moment at the bottom I know how one feels there.I would set goals,maybe look for another "hobby".If they manage to stop gambling overnight of course I would be great.

Urgent I would advise you to deal with the issue of "addiction".
What concerns you seem to be afflicted with not to be despised deficits.

And without that I would like to teach you now, an addiction would not be an addiction if I could stop overnight

Secondly, so that you finally understand - an addiction is not curable and can at best be stopped!
And since you have not stopped playing until today, you will not be able to deny that you have your addiction anything but under control.

Of course, you will now claim something to the contrary, otherwise you would not be an "active" player

Maybe you know everything about addiction and I do not can be.
Why should I claim otherwise.Maybe they are right.
Maybe I am also addicted and 99% of gamers also.you have their opinion I have mine.
If I am really addicted, then I would get help from outside. Not at Gamble Joe.
For me, addiction is when I can't think of anything else, gamble away my entire fortune
it is difficult for me to give advice to a person I do not know.
Imagine we write go to your husband and tell him that.The husband does not accept that and separates what then.Then the problems will be even greater.

Why do they go at me like this.

It is difficult for me to give advice to a person I don't know.


Imagine we write go to your husband and tell him that.the man does not accept that and separates what then.then the problems will be even greater.

You may misunderstand me Mr. Manfred4 ?

In no way I want to attack you or as I wrote you already "teach".

However, if it is difficult for you to help people with advice and action - and I can agree in this case, then I would recommend you to stay away from such threads in the future
This does not include of course that I would like to forbid you the mouth and times apart from that me also not at all entitled,
nevertheless, in the future friction, triggered by your half-knowledge, could be a thing of the past

So that you still learn something today regarding "addiction" that I allow myself now times (some have recommended her in this thread to open up to her husband) and I can only join
Sooner or later, Mr. Manfred4, her addiction will be exposed, wouldn't it be more sensible for her to draw attention to her problem on her own?
How would you as a man in her situation feel better if your partner continues to betray you, or if she speaks openly and honestly about it?

Thank you for listening Mr. Manfred4 - and please think about it!

I don't know if you can compare it, I saw a report about alcoholics on TV.
2 professors spoke there.
No1 You must never drink alcohol again.
No2 For some it does not work, so I would be for controlled drinking.
What if Nr1 doesn't work Nr2 try it. I don't know.
Now about Gambling addiction, there are enough pages on Gamble Joe where it is pointed out.
I have seen reports about gambling addiction.These people have lost everything.They were at the bottom.In this position the woman is not yet "but can happen if she continues so. "I have given hints may not be so good ok.
There are 2 ways she stops gambling or not.If she manages the first, it's done.Maybe with her husband together I do not know.
