Help - I think the addiction has taken hold of me

Good evening everyone,

this is my first post, sorry if I posted this in a wrong category.

Here is the problem:

I went to the casino for the first time 3 years ago. The feeling was great - everything was nice
Bet limit was always 30 euros.

Sometimes I won 50 euros and felt like the king.

so - with time - or the last 6-8 months I noticed that I often play online. Here nen 10er, there nen 10er and at the end of the month wasens nevertheless then 100 euros where I have put into gambling.

I have never made a big win - at least not bigger than a one-time 500 euros.

If I add it all up, I should have gambled away about 2000 euros by now.

Unfortunately, I notice - as slowly comes more and more often the feeling that I want to go to the casino, or play online, because I finally want to win big.

That this does not work, at least to 99% not - I am aware.

Unfortunately, I still hop again and again with 10 euros in the online casino, 50 euros in the casino and at the end of the month, 200 euros are gone again...

The money does not hurt me - I can still save a lot to the side, but I slowly have the feeling that I'm getting a bit addicted and eventually lose all my belongings...

So I'm turning to you guys here - what's the quickest way for me to understand that all this gambling is pointless? My brain somehow does not get it...

Do you have any tips for me?

I would be very grateful for it - I don't want to gamble at all anymore, or only go to the casino from time to time, but I don't want to lose 200 euros every month or lose even more in the future.

Thanks already and many greetings
Jack

If it doesn't hurt you, it's not a problem. I know people who made a quarter of a million in a few years in gambling houses. With you it is still in the smallest sector. Your sentence is important: do not lose more in the future. That must be the motto. And play on quite low stakes. This year I won 450 Eur on 20 cents on Gonzo's Quest Megaways in the base game. In contrast, a paltry 36 Eur on 5 Eur free spins Book of Dead.

If you would take the time instead of thinking about gambling itself...so take the time and first think about exactly why you feel addicted.where does it come from?when did it start and have you ever had the feeling before that you can't really do without something.

I still have to say that you seem to be relatively reflective
So already in an early search stage to recognize that you have a problem.
You can build on this because your perception that something is not going right is still working.
Use that.
That is self-esteem in good measure.

So much that you say hey wait a minute why am I now the nut*e from gambling?????this must be the other way around...... the store must be grateful that I pay in.

If you are afraid of becoming addicted then see a professional psychotherapist.

You are asking your question to a community that is almost exclusively made up of gamers, many of whom have a gambling problem themselves. That's like going into a bar where the 10 regulars are already drunk by lunchtime and asking them how to stop drinking.

You would hear a lot of stories. That you should only drink 5 beers a day or stay abstinent for at least one day a week.

Everybody has different reasons why he tends to addiction. One has hidden fears, the other wants to compensate for something, the other has no reasons at all. Only if you go to a professional, he/she can get to know you personally and help you. Here in the forum, no one will hit the nail on the head, because no one knows you and many are still in the addiction themselves.
