Intermediate Master wrote on 11/12/2018 at 10:28 am: Sure. More sense in any case. But I just think that everyone here should be able to stand the confrontation with such topics. And just to want to exclude or banish this topic would somehow be just as far from reality as it would be close to self-denial. Of course, it would be easier not to deal with it...

I can bear the subject...and certainly do not want to exclude or banish.
My only concern was whether the TE can get better help in an addiction forum.

Hello

1. I thought you can also exchange here about the addiction, because above is something about gambling addiction
2. Yes, I hoped for encouragement
3.I hope not that I end up on the street but it does not come so far
4. The state is to blame! In the past, you could clearly play longer with your money! Why now no more? Why does one not even have more game fun with 500 euros stake
i'm not fundamentally about winning, but just play a little.


In the search advice center, they take away all your cards???? is that true???

is taking away cards? If it's just a consultation, they can give you tips. I think now just so times. If you are in therapy, I think that looks different. If they take your phone away I don't know but if you don't want to play anymore and you have the will it shouldn't matter. When alcohol withdrawal or therapy they put you also no beer. 😂 I think it's good when people think about stopping gambling. That is the first way to get better. If you realize you can't do it alone, you can get help 👍

Here are probably meant credit card, etc

This is the first time I think of someone writing about addiction as someone who wants to give the responsibility to someone else and not change anything themselves. Sorry if it wasn't meant that way but that's what I'm reading out at the moment. I still wish good luck and abstain at this point.

If you go to addiction counseling, then you don't have to turn in your card.

First, you'll have a few one-on-one sessions with the therapist and answer some questions about your lifestyle and addiction. After that, you will be allowed to participate in the group sessions.

Usually you form a circle of chairs with 7-9 affected people and 1-2 therapists. These group sessions last 2 hours and take place 1-2 times a week. After 3 months it is decided whether you are allowed to do therapy or not. The goal is complete abstinence from gambling
At the group sessions there are students, unemployed, managers, family fathers or mothers, academics etc. All are subject to confidentiality!

These talks are about your week and addiction. Why do they talk about your week? When you stop gambling, you have to fill that time with something meaningful. What does the addiction do to you? How did it come about? How do you deal with it? What is positive or negative about the addiction? How has your everyday life changed because of the addiction? What are you doing about the addiction? etc etc.

The conversations alone help you to take the first step. These conversations in the group are more efficient than any exchange on the Internet.


Only the few manage to get out of the vicious circle without help and "tricks". The tricks include, for example, handing over the EC card. Be it to a friend, the spouse or a counselor you can get through the addiction help

I strongly advise you to turn in all cash cards. If you have debts, then go to a Debt counselor. Most addicts no longer have any connection to money and it is urgently necessary to learn this again.


The addictionand the "pressure" in the head - to have to play, is not so easy to get a grip on. Through withdrawal, the addiction becomes stronger and stronger for the time being, but you have to endure it! There is no miracle pill that will help you!

Even after 1-2 years of abstinence it can happen that you feel like gambling! You must always keep in mind what is at stake! You are not only gambling with money but with your life!

Hey the spielos are already bad once you are in the van of all, it is mega hard to get out
First I would advise you to talk to your family and then talk to a doctor and look for alternatives that you enjoy and reward yourself again and again, for example 2 weeks game free, then reward yourself. I wish you good luck on your way

Thank you! yes Peter that with the reward sounds good! I managed to quit smoking on my own (three packs a day) so I'll manage with the vending machines too! It just has to come at the right time....but it's not easy. I cried for cigarettes for days! It was hell! What actually happens to the old vending machines? can you buy them somehow?
