Have heard from some people who have started to puzzle and so gamble less quasi as a substitute drug.
Have now ordered me one and hope to play less.
What do you think?

try to have only a certain amount in your account, the rest is fixed for 1-2 years, so that you have no possibility to spend the money


otherwise.... i play computer games on the side as a pastime.... also works quite well... or just other hobbies

You often visit game stores. Let you lock there, that would be a start that you gamble a little less. Saves certainly also some money, if your reason is because this addiction costs too much.

I think you can't say that puzzles help. Much more helps you a hobby that you enjoy, maybe puzzles, maybe video games, maybe sports. You have to try it out 👍

Hey Cheeseburger,

aside from whether puzzling or whatever can "distract" you, I think you might want to take a bigger step if you're already looking for solutions to gambling less and needing substitute drugs because of it

I don't mean to be a moralizer, but I do think that if you are already at such a stage, you should possibly seek help

Kind regards!

Other hobbies are always good!
Unfortunately, every hobby has gambling in the back of its mind.
At least that's how it is with me.
After the hobby is finished, you think, a little bit of gambling is still possible.

The only thing that really helps me is to go on vacation.
Even there, however, I have already gambled hehe.

Mostly you can see the whole thing as a kind of addiction shifting

One takes e.g. video games there one plays just in excess and replaces the money zocken with this Zocken

I have noticed with me zb if zocken times longer no option was and I really times break made I in excess in WOW fled and have there evenly instead of 5 hours around money 12 hours sometimes achievements, level, etc. to collect

I talked to someone who studies psychology and he told me that once you are in a gaming addiction can serve as an addiction shift what makes you fun, but mainly everything that has to do with games and that it is best to refrain from everything until you can think clearly again

He also added that all gamblers are addicts in some way but each at a different level the generation it's just a hobby are still the harmless and that extends to gambling house and yard to come down

If you take a person who has never spent a cent on gambling and introduce him to this topic he will tell you that it is the stupidest thing ever to spend a cent to see flashing lights, pictures and rows that are controlled by computers

And what can I say this person would even be right with it there you do not need anything beautiful talk to it

Ergo we are all addicted only each on a different measure

And I see myself in this relationship as stupid as well as felt 30 others with whom I have talked about the subject and who also play

True. But you usually get addicted after a while, because it's fun to play because it's easy. You don't need any playing skill or anything. Anyone can play and sometimes succeed and you often spend hours doing that.

Boring phases in life or waiting times can be bridged in this way. At the beginning only sometimes and gradually gambling takes large parts of life that it almost becomes a daily routine. From then on it becomes difficult to get out, new hobbies can only be started with a lot of effort and often they are connected with skill or effort. So you first have to become good at something so that it can work as a substitute, because only when you are good it is usually fun.

Someone wanted to draw pictures instead of gambling money and how long did he last? Exactly once and then back to the slots.

Yep, that's right, you don't have to know anything except how to press buttons and that's it

We have one of those Merkur Twin Dispenser center console things in the hall now

There you throw the bills purely and can distribute the credit on the left or right machine and just so also pay out what that should bring no idea aufjedenfall you are forced to play both devices because otherwise the guest who plays next to you could go to a pretty on the bag

But you can already see that the average guest does not understand the money is changed because the machine does not take bills and the shining cash similar terminal between both machines with the giant instructions on it is not noticed

Have recently already said the expect quite a lot from your visitors slowly

But the people are also getting worse recently handbags were stolen quite openly rather even robbed because of a few euros that is in 40 years not once occurred

Maybe Gamblejoe can help and add some social games here in the forum with multiplayer function to distract people from playing slots
