That is the crux of the whole thing, when I was feeling bad I also gambled. The happiness hormones that are emitted when gambling are abused as compensation. If you have a lot of stress in life, no luck or are in a difficult phase then you want to compensate.

Actually, life is too bad to spend it with Gambling addiction, I did not want to say like some after 30-40 years that I wasted my years before. If I started again, nothing would have changed - I will again chase my urge to achieve various things in a game, even if it costs me 40 000 spins. And there are always new games coming that interest you, so it's impossible that I would ever "finish".

I think you have already found exactly the right approach. I wish you that you can free yourself from it.

Thank you

I wish it to every other affected person that they can get out of it too

Although I can control it well at the moment, but experience shows that it does not remain a permanent condition😈

I have two voluntary inpatient detoxes and a long-term inpatient therapy at another place (alldinga aborted) behind me, but not because of Gambling addiction (I would never have dared to dream that this could be so audarten back then...)

be that as it may. You can't make such general statements, because it always depends on so many individual factors. But the bottom line is my clear conclusion:

If you don't want it, it won't help you.
If you want it, you don't need it.

The most important thing (actually this is self-evident but sometimes it is so banal):
What matters is whether the basic conditions in your life are in place or not. You can easily stop playing for two years from one day to the next. As long as you are in this "dream world" and tell yourself the bitter confrontation with reality, everything is no matter. But what matters is how it looks when you come back to your old environment. Well, if you have no real friends and no hobbies, you have already lost in life. But it is the well-known basic factors like work, friends, social environment, girlfriend, hobbies & co. which are important. And you won't find these in any therapy of this world. Maybe you know how to deal with a relapse better, but that's soon it. The former psychology students there do the job primarily because they need money. Sounds a bit exaggerated and pejorative, but in principle it's like that.

I am also currently in a "stage" of Gambling addiction that would probably be assessed by experts as requiring mandatory therapy or similar. But for me, I categorically exclude a relevant benefit of both inpatient and outpatient therapy options. Of course, this requires a corresponding minimum of personal knowledge (and much more...the usual stuff: education, elitist taste in music, expert knowledge about the disease, regular living and working situation, acceptable health, endurance sports, etc etc.) sounds a bit arrogant, but if there is not at least a rudimentary realization of the necessity of the things that really count in life, you might as well give yourself the bullet.

What I find interesting about gambling addicts is the development afterwards in relation to money.

Because only the fewest people (well, probably also the fewest ex-gambling addicts) have the "privilege" (after all, one must take a positive added value from everything in life) to have the experience value of possessing both 'sides' (with quite a lot and with quite a little) (the more extreme the more valuable for the future). Because before that, one can only presume to make a statement about it to a very limited extent.

In summary, you could also see it as giving up. You write a lot, but still somehow nothing.

If you don't want to, you just don't want to. That is also completely ok. You don't need to try to explain that. There is no explanation for it in my opinion.

What might help someone...

I haven't had Free Rolls, Free Battles, etc excluded in my previous attempts and that's where the problem was with me. Have liked at Videoslots the two weeks Battles and then tried again and again to reach the wager and sometimes it was not enough then came a relapse "Only 20...100 €...". But since I no longer play that everything is fine, I also no longer accept free offers.

They are always scattered 5 spins, 15 spins... if you Deposit a lot there are even loyal 25 spins at some casinos. But these offers ultimately actually lead to the fact that one has again and again almost compulsively the relapse because it is not difficult to find the deposit button and if you have a limit you are looking for a new casino where it goes. But that then leads to further problems in the worst case. If you want to stop, you have to write off these free offers, yes yes you can certainly pay out once of what but I can sing a song about how much psychologically that affects you. "Ha now I have actually been able to pay out something, now I can pay in a little bit somewhere else...".

Have had several attempts but now I'm more or less free, instead of gambling now comes gambling with me (normal games) and they are just free or I pay only once or not so much. At the same time I try to paint, but I'm honest the pictures I would love to burn again such ugliness does not belong in this world

I was treated as an inpatient for 2 months.
It was a really great time, carefree, they took care of you every day. I didn't want to get out.
When I was discharged, after a week I was back in the hospital.

Although playing cost me my marriage, I couldn't stop.

My record was 2 years without gambling.
When my mother died, I promised her on her deathbed that I would stop.

Unfortunately I could only keep my promise for 2 years

2 years gambling free because you learn life again
Was able to afford things that I can no longer afford now

Überalll rumgeiz so I have more money to play

Hello
the problem with therapy is that it is mostly just about keeping the player away from the normal routine for a while.
As soon as you have finished this therapy you will relapse.
I think you can only stop if you've been homeless and felt on your own body how cold it is outside in the winter.

It's important to seek help even after inpatient therapy, because you probably won't be "cured" by it.
Weekly one or two sessions with a therapist, I would definitely recommend.
If your own head is not strong enough, this is at least a method that should be tried

I don't think you have to have lived on the streets to quit.
It's all a question of your head and how strong you are. (in the head)

If I compare myself with my self from 3-4 years ago, then something has changed. 25k debts paid off and nothing
gambled away, which does not fit into the budget. Everything goes purely from the head!
