I have had inpatient therapy.
I have to say all in all it was okay. The facility, food, rooms, landscape and the therapy offers as well as the rest.
But it's the outpatient therapy that really does it for me. Here I am integrated in life, inpatient is more like living under a cheese cover. Twice a week group or offer and once individual appointment.
I have to say it really helps me.

Hello Daniel.
Make sure you go to therapy.
I read from your posts that you have not yet realized the basic problem. Also that playing has helped you against depression is a misconception. That's just the addiction factor that it triggers a short happiness kick in your brain - but it's just the completely wrong approach because over time this only strengthens the depression and keeps you away from real life.
The reason why you have improved your depression is not because of gaming but because you have brought out your natural powers, built up an online business, found a girlfriend and improved your social environment and moved to a country that is located by the sea and offers a lot of sunshine.
Imagine if all this gambling had brought you to the point where you had to live on Hartz4, no friends, no girlfriend, in cold Germany in a 20sqm apartment. Then you would probably be at the end now. But no matter how much you currently earn, you still gamble away your life. That became clear to me when I suddenly earned really good money through my self-employment. Then I said to myself, it doesn't matter if I earn 1000 or 20,000 a month, in the end I'll gamble it all away anyway and everything will end up in some stupid box if I don't make the decision to let it go right away.
You play because you (like every other player including me) have a problem that only comes out through therapy.
It's a long way and in the beginning you don't really see any sense in it - it's part of the symptomatology. But after a certain time you will realize that everything is much easier and simpler than you would have thought.
May I ask if this thread has to do with the fact that you recently won so much and you have already lost the money again?
In any case, go to therapy.
Your problem is not gambling - that is only a symptom of the problem.
You'll understand that too eventually and you'll see that gambling doesn't excite you that much anymore.
I wish you only the best on your way. The most important thing is that you walk it and consequently fight it.
When we read each other again in a few months or a year you will already feel much better and you will ask yourself why you waited so long to tackle your real problems.

Oh, I didn't even pay attention to that. Thanks for the info.
Then the question to Daniel is how did you fare with the therapy?

Sorry that it came across to you as if I was against foreigners or a N**i that I am definitely not because I have a Turkish husband and my child is just German just Turkish but I have this statement on the restaurant itself related to speak furnishings and so on
Why apologize ? So stores really exist!

You actually question why Metz apologized for it ? Sry, but I guess you don't have much up there, do you?
Ali" may have some dirty games, but "Hans" has exactly the same ones.
So really... wake up... not every Jew has a big, big, long nose.

I was 10 years ago in statin therapy, it has brought me a lot, was then 4 years completely free of gambling but now itches always times in the finger, but can me for years through the therapy at least Beherschen and are usually always 50-100 € in the online casino Lasse! There are also discussion groups uvm where you can be helped, so maybe you manage the complete jump or at least win the control again

Daniel wrote on 06/11/2017 at 12:04 pm: Hmm, ok. So for me it's clearly depression. Gambling helped me back then and I also don't give a shit that I gambled away my savings back then, as the machine helped / distracted me back then. Unfortunately, though, gambling has manifested itself since then. I gamble even today mostly when I'm bad druf. Therefore, I also do not stream. In the situations in which I play (not always but mostly) I have a bad phase and rather bad mood. I also often play at night when I can't sleep ...
The problem is that I know all this myself. I also talked to Andreas (gambling addict high roller) about it. He also says that he has never done therapy because he knows why he gambles and he sees little point in talking. He has also read about the high relapse rates and estimates his chances of success to be low.
Well, actually one should try it. As a pathological gambler you have little to lose anyway ...
Hello,
yes, I have also been offered such a therapy, but I refuse it. I'm afraid that contact with other gamblers will make me fall off the wagon. I am also afraid of losing my job. If I am out for months because of such a therapy, that then the personnel office says we no longer need.
As I said, such a therapy can be helpful, but in the end you have to free yourself from this crisis. With me it is depression and I still have it today.When I get the tingling then I take a walk or listen to music or I play on the computer, but not for money.

And an outpatient therapy where you go 1-2 times a week is not in question for you?

I can only speak on the subject of drugs. But as far as your fears about other addicts are concerned, I can only say from my experience that the mutual exchange of experiences is probably the most important part of therapy. Of course, this can also lead to addictive pressure, but in the protected environment of the therapy facility, this can usually be overcome quite quickly. Incidentally, strategies for this are also learned in therapy.
Basically, however, I agree with you that it is primarily a matter of one's own attitude and, to a certain extent, a matter of will
