So first of all, hats off to you for being open about it! I can only speak for myself, I was in a very similar situation, and I must honestly say that I was scared to death when I read through the text... I had it exactly the same way in my youth, except for Jay! For me it was speed! And believe me, the only thing that helps is to isolate yourself... Preferably in an institution! Everything else is pointless because you almost always have the devil at your back! From the bottom of my heart, get well soon!

Of course I know that and will feel them sooner or later. But it's the way it is now. I'm trying to get rid of the debt by 7-8 years at the latest by paying it off bit by bit. Debt counseling is really helpful here.

Yes, the combination of drugs and gambling is very common. It just sucks twice 😉

Thank you

Firstly you're doing a private bankruptcy, you're getting Oasis banned everywhere. I've been a gambler myself for 17 years and have already gambled away millions. That sounds like a lot, and I'm not proud of it. I'm still addicted to the thrill. I was gambling-free for three years in May, which was wonderful. Why do you play? It's the kick that wins the addiction. Everyone who plays or plays occasionally is addicted. I gambled away 5k this month, is that normal? Certainly not. It's all in your head. There are people who have nothing left, do you want to get there? Debt is latte it can happen to any of us. But your time, your head, your age, you're not getting any younger, you're not getting any better. A gambler will always say I'm quitting, yes, I often have. Please seek help

I don't believe that every gambler is equally addicted. There are also some who set themselves limits on how much money they want to lose. Gambling also takes away any boredom and betting on a sports game increases the appeal and excitement. Some bonus games in slots also just look cool, everyone here has their favorite slots. I also think that an addict doesn't have to stop gambling completely, but has to limit himself if gambling harms him. Only when you limit yourself or have to stop do you recognize the true addicts, how you deal with it when the "stuff" is gone

But addiction can also be all sorts of things. I don't drink coffee, for example, and I don't like the stuff. But many people out there can't do without their morning coffee otherwise they become furies. So there are enough coffee junkies in the world, but it doesn't hurt so much because coffee is cheap. Gambling or cocaine, for example, are things that are or can become very expensive. That hurts us all the more than having to buy a pound of coffee every two weeks

So I can't say anything good about the whole thing either. First insolvency with discharge of residual Debt in the year 22. Then from 22-24 to tear such a buck again, hats off. Now to need another 7-8 years to pay off the new debts. Because of the insolvency freeze.....I'm sorry...... ..someone hasn't understood something.

But that's just my opinion.

That didn't work out once before. How are you going to manage now?

Therapy counselor may help keep in mind that you will never get rich with gambling except on the stock market or possibly in the lottery. Debt is nothing bad, I think according to statistics every 2-3 Germans here have it. Don't waste your life

Hi
I haven't read through all the comments but if no one has mentioned it yet, be sure to check with the job center because I think there will be big problems if you openly mention your gambling addiction.
I had real problems years ago because I had to submit bank statements and they showed depositors with gambling providers and that wasn't even €50 in 3 months because I didn't actually use the account for that.
I slipped from Alg1 into Hartz4 and that was fatal.
Because social benefits may not be used for gambling by law, which is probably not relevant for Alg1.
If you then not only gamble away your living expenses but also your rent, it can certainly become more problematic.
But it probably also depends a lot on where you live and how well you get along with the clerk, etc.
It was just my own stupidity to make depositors from my account.

The fact is that you can't get out of the vicious circle without help or support from others. I would also sort out your environment very quickly. Make a cut and start again
