Life already gambled away?

I have already tried everything via self-help group and inpatient therapy, at the moment I'm trying it alone... The problem is currently not the unconditional urge to gamble, but that again new bills have appeared that I can not pay in full and I tell myself again, a few bets could help in the best case...

I do not play Slot machines, but online betting..have often tried the results without betting just for me to type, mitzufiebern that the results are wrong and me to be happy money to have saved.... Unfortunately, my tips then always go in and you immediately think again, you can perhaps make a win

Nonsense. You will never make a win. Gambling is an expensive hobby. When it becomes an addiction it is a life destroying machine. You will never win money in the long run. Why else are there hundreds/thousands of gambling houses and betting shops? Because the only one who wins in the long run is the betting shops and gambling houses. You drive yourself deeper into addiction with every win you make, and in the long run this always leads to the loss of all financial resources.
Of course you have a win in between. I had a win of 22,000€ when I was 19. I would have had that money in that year with my training salary in maybe 3 years together. Do you know how long it lasted? 3 months. You lose the appreciation of the money. You think you can win that much again. You gamble more and more until it's all gone in the end. The biggest win is one of the worst things that could happen to me. I am now trying to stop gambling again for the umpteenth time. I have lied to my girlfriend and family for years, asked friends for money for years, and had my entire very good salary disappear into thin air for years.

You will only be a winner in the long run if you can walk past the betting shops smiling without your finger twitching.
You will win only if you manage to stay away from gambling. 5000€ of Debt is absolutely nothing. I have just under 20,000€ of debt at 24 years old despite grossing ü50k a year. Don't do it to me and be the smarter of the two of us. Do not let it come so far.

So far

Thanks for your answer.


I think it's tricky that you're trying to do it on your own - especially in light of your suicidal thoughts
In general: due to the fact that Gambling addiction is one of the most persistent addictions... how about inpatient therapy again? What's the argument against it? Your lack of belief that this could help, after all you have tried it before? Experience shows that there are many people for whom therapy is not enough - not because they are too stupid to be able to successfully implement everything the first time, but because there are so many different issues to be dealt with in their lives that they simply don't all fit into one inpatient stay

Don't spend too much time alone, Mark. In your case it's not just the betting addiction itself, but... but you know that yourself. I wish you the necessary energy and the absolute will to seek professional help

Rock today - without a betting slip!
