I envy everyone who stops. I Zahl like a stupid umpteen times 50€ on and come Max on x2 and later everything is eaten down. That in a week sure again 500-600€ gone without Nennenswerte wins. BoD 20 Freegames K and 1x 4 pair 3s... ridiculous at the moment.

Or you have 99.18 still on it turns 99 times to 1€ gets nothing and with 0.18 you then put on 10 cents and it trundles freegames (is clear)

Until you suffer a loss of control again, the training was no fun, your friends had no time or you are so stressed that you treat yourself this time not only nen 10s but to celebrate the day times 30. These are then perhaps very quickly gone and you just pay in another 20s, etc.

You need the game to relax, more addiction confession you can not make yourself, right?
And with your mini deposits you are constantly in the gambling cycle.
Like when an alcoholic manages to drink only two beers a night for a week.
At some point he will go crazy again and get drunk.

That just gave me goose bumps. I literally gave myself a slap so that I could finally get a grip on myself. Maybe I should start again to go on women hunt, that has made me at that time very much fun, until the gambling came .
I don't understand why we people tick like this..a normal life, normal job, friends, drinking, partying, training...and then there is still this desire to gamble..really sad.

I think cutting it down to a dime is the optimal solution if you can't stop completely.
This keeps the gambling and the expenses within limits.

I have to agree with you there. With an addict it will happen again sooner or later. I'm a dry alcoholic and have been fooling myself with something like this for a long time ... My booze reduced. Told myself, oh it's okay... Just a few beers. And then came what had to come and I let myself get really drunk again and that for days and weeks. Therefore, to stop completely is simply the best ... As hard as it may be at first ...

So I am now on day number 4 by managing not to play.
Every day without gambling is worth its weight in gold, because it just gets forgotten. I immediately notice how I find the motivation for other things and also the mood remains only in the positive, finally no more depressions because I lost the money every day...
I would now have the money as well as the online casino where I could Deposit, but I am really amazed how I have no desire for it.
What really helps me a lot is music. It is really incredible what music can do. Music that has a meaning, where you sit at home and think about how pointless gambling is and how good you feel when you don't gamble anymore...unbelievable I have to say honestly.
My friends continue to gamble online and offline, that's the hardest part right now because I have to ignore it.
Never give up !!!

Glad to hear it! Keep up the good work.

I can only say from personal experience that it is, with me, the harder, the safer I feel. If I have not gambled for a month, the thoughts come: "oh times 30 euros does not hurt. Have now 30 days not played. "

Just want to give you this experience on the way.

I can only say from my own experience that, for me, the more confident I feel, the harder it gets. If I have not gambled for a month, the thoughts come: "oh times 30 euros does not hurt. Have now 30 days not played. "

Thanks for your experience and reply !

The thing is, you just have to do some soul-searching. I quit cigarettes as well as gambling. My goal is to have control over myself.
Cigarettes, gambling, alcohol are all "stimulants". Nowadays everyone only has in mind "stop immediately" this that. But why don't you just try to train the control over yourself ? We have trained ourselves to get up early, just as we have trained ourselves to go to bed on time. Just like bodybuilding, you train yourself to walk 5 times a week, so why not train yourself to smoke only 2-3 cigarettes a week, or to gamble one 10s a week ?

I don't want to talk up anything here, I know it's very, very hard. But I have managed from one day to the other with both things, I have neither with the cigarettes nor on gambling a demand. You just have to be really hard on yourself, I think the mental part is very important. YOU JUST HAVE TO WANT IT!
If someone wants to train a beautiful body, it depends only on the will, if someone wants to earn a lot of money, it depends only on the will...so you can certainly also transfer that to gambling etc..

I just think what I could have done with the money NOW, exactly NOW. Instead of Germany, I would now be on vacation somewhere, lying on the beach, drinking cool cocktails and thinking about the night where you can go party.... This is my life now and not the pointless gambling.

Yes, go ahead with it.

But be so honest with yourself that you are still at the very beginning. Every day you do the right thing is a won day and there will be days where you are as motivated as you are now and there will also be days where you can't get that motivation.
Exactly on these days you have to persevere.
