Hi. Yes, of course you have a point. To be honest, I wasn't or am not quite sure how to do it. And I was not quite comfortable to appear here immediately with full name, is online but what different than in person. I'll talk to my colleagues again about how we should do it. Thanks for your feedback

Since you wrote about contact persons and colleagues, I have a question. Does that mean that your account is used by several social workers? Or is it always the same person? That would not be bad to know for reasons of trust

first of all welcome here in the forum. I think similar to gamble1, because there can not be enough opportunities created to the colored and addicted players can turn to.

I am one of the longest active members here in the forum and when I think about what I have already read here, this is just the Tip of the iceberg

What I myself have gone through in 38 years (partly extreme gambling) I could write a book about it and believe me almost none of the stories has ended positively. Rather, extreme Debt, break with partners, family, friends and suicide were the result

So for me, any advice is welcome, because there are enough people who need it urgently.

Thank you. Yes, I believe you, that you have already experienced a lot. I hope you are doing well now? How did you get your act together?

Thank you. Yes, I believe you that you already got a lot there. I hope you are doing well now? How did you get your act together?

For me it has made about 15 years ago in the brain "crack" when I realized that I hang with about 230 000 € in Debt and it spiral only goes down. Then I talked to a few people, family, tax advisor, lawyer, advisor at the house bank. Anyway, I stopped gambling completely for over 2 years and put all my energy into my job during that time and took care of my daughter a lot more (she was a teenager at the time). Then when I had everything settled via settlements and I knew that I would get the debt paid back in the next 12 years. Then I started gambling again but always set clear limits on how much I would lose or how long I would play. Even now, when I notice that my gambling behavior in some way starts to go over my head, I take a break of 2 to 3 months

I am one of those people who just need a cooling off period when it gets to be too much. For others it is better to stop completely, which is something I can advise everyone to do.

Hello bones. Unfortunately I'm only allowed to post every 10 minutes, so it always takes me a while to reply. Thanks for your important question. No, only I use my account. So far, no one else from my team has been online. I wanted to try it out today and then report to my team how it goes

It's great that it worked out this way for you. As you say yourself, it's not so easy to go back from problem gambling to controlled gambling. It's the same with gambling as with any other addiction, quitting altogether is often easier for many. Thanks for your candor. And setting limits is always good, you realize pretty quickly to what extent you still have your gaming under control. All the best for the future.

I would personally recommend you to contact a member of the GJ team. Contact persons are always welcome here

Maybe they can modify your account a little bit so that it is more official and you don't have any restrictions anymore

As for my Gambling addiction, that has solved itself quite quickly. For some time now, many things online have changed for the worse and, unlike back then, you win next to nothing. This means that the addictive happiness endorphins in the head zone are no longer stimulated and this has ensured that I no longer touch slots for almost 3 months now. Fortunately, such negative experiences are enough for me to keep my hands off, otherwise it would be really expensive. Instead, it hurts me much more if I don't reach my monthly fixed amount to save for retirement. And now I play from time to time only sports betting, but only until the moment should come that I should lose here also over a longer period of time permanently only my money. But so far, the one or other ticket goes through sometimes and thanks to that I still feel fun here. Permanent frustration, on the other hand, is generally not something I can live with.

Hello Falko,
nice to hear that you stop gambling when you lose. For many, that's when the problems really start, as they try to win back their losses and get into a vicious cycle of gambling away all their money. Do you document your bets and wins, or how do you keep track of them?
