Naqbel ma 'Energized, il-problema tiegħi tinsab biss ma' slots. Nista 'npoġġi £ 10 f'kont tal-pokerstars, nilgħab ftit turnew u ma nkunx agħar għall-ilbies. Dak l-aspett tal-logħob inkun tajjeb miegħu, inkun lest li nitlef £ 10 fi ħlasijiet tad-dħul imma għall-inqas tajt ftit turnaments, ma nkun xejn bħal slots fejn inkun qed niddepożita kontinwament tmur bonus. L-istess għall-imħatri fuq il-futbol, Jekk akkumulatur jitlef allura jissodah, xorti aħjar id-darba d-dieħla. Naħseb li kulħadd għandu l-morsa tiegħu – il-mistoqsija tassew hi tista 'tilgħab fuq affarijiet li taħseb li għandek kontroll fuqhom u xorta ċċedi l-vizzju li għandek? Pereżempju jekk irbaħt £ 300 bħala akkumulatur tal-futbol inkun vera lejja nnifsi u nirtira kollha / ħafna minn dawk il-flus u nkun dixxiplinat biżżejjed biex nibqa '' l bogħod mill-viċi tiegħi – is-slots? Dak kollu li ntqal naħseb li huwa probabbilment l-aħjar li tiżbalja min-naħa tal-kawtela u tipprova tastjeni minn kull logħob tal-azzard.

Ich stimme Energized zu, mein Problem liegt ausschließlich bei den Slots. Ich könnte £10 auf ein Pokerstars-Konto stecken, ein paar Turniere spielen und wäre nicht schlauer. Dieser Aspekt des Glücksspiels würde mir gut tun, ich wäre bereit, 10 £ an Eintrittsgeldern zu verlieren, aber zumindest habe ich ein paar Turniere ausprobiert, ich wäre nicht so etwas wie Slots, bei denen ich ständig einzahle, um einem nachzujagen Bonus. Dasselbe gilt für Fußballwetten. Wenn ein Akkumulator verliert, dann platzen Sie ihn auf, mehr Glück beim nächsten Mal. Ich denke, jeder hat seine Laster – die Frage ist wirklich, kann man auf Dinge spielen, von denen man glaubt, dass man die Kontrolle hat, und trotzdem das Laster aufgeben, das man hat? Wenn ich zum Beispiel 300 £ als Fußballakkumulator gewinnen würde, würde ich mir selbst treu bleiben und das gesamte/das meiste Geld abheben und diszipliniert genug sein, um mich von meinem Laster fernzuhalten – den Spielautomaten? Alles in allem denke ich, dass es wahrscheinlich am besten ist, auf Nummer sicher zu gehen und zu versuchen, auf jegliches Glücksspiel zu verzichten.

Съгласен съм с Energized, проблемът ми е единствено в слотовете. Мога да вкарам £ 10 в сметка на pokerstars, да играя няколко турнира и да не бъда по -лош за износване. Този аспект на хазарта, с който бих се справил, бих бил готов да загубя £ 10 от входните такси, но поне дадох няколко турнира, нямаше да съм нещо като слотове, където постоянно депозирам, преследвайки бонус. Същото важи и за футболните залози: Ако акумулатор загуби, тогава го копае, по -голям късмет следващия път. Мисля, че всеки има своите пороци – въпросът наистина е дали можете да залагате на неща, за които смятате, че имате контрол, и все пак да се откажете от порока, който имате? Например, ако спечеля 300 паунда като футболен акумулатор, щях ли да бъда верен на себе си и да изтегля всички/по -голямата част от тези пари и да бъда достатъчно дисциплиниран, за да стоя далеч от моя порок – слотовете? Всичко казано мисля, че е най -добре да сгрешите от страна на предпазливостта и да се опитате да се въздържате от всякакви хазартни игри.

Je suis d'accord avec Energized, mon problème réside uniquement dans les machines à sous. Je pourrais mettre 10 £ sur un compte pokerstars, jouer quelques tournois et ne pas être pire pour l'usure. Cet aspect du jeu me conviendrait, je serais prêt à perdre 10 £ en frais d'entrée, mais au moins j'ai essayé quelques tournois, je ne serais en rien comme des machines à sous où je déposerais constamment à la poursuite d'un prime. Idem pour les paris sur le football, si un accumulateur perd alors sachez-le, meilleure chance la prochaine fois. Je pense que tout le monde a ses vices – la question est vraiment : pouvez-vous parier sur des choses sur lesquelles vous pensez avoir le contrôle et abandonner quand même le vice que vous avez ? Par exemple, si je gagnais 300 £ en tant qu'accumulateur de football, serais-je fidèle à moi-même et retirerais-je tout/la plupart de cet argent et serais-je suffisamment discipliné pour rester à l'écart de mon vice – les machines à sous ? Cela étant dit, je pense qu'il est probablement préférable de pécher par excès de prudence et d'essayer de s'abstenir de tout jeu.

Another week gone by, still no urges, still no problems. I’d have thought this wouldve been similar to when I gave up smoking – The first week was always the hardest but this doesn’t feel the same. I don’t appear to be struggling with stopping thus far, I still associate with my friends who have been known to have a punt on the football and not afraid to show it off when they hit a win. Nothing really has changed for me in terms of how I’m treated, I do tend to draw the line at letting EVERYONE know the full extent of my problem, my close friends are aware that I have a problem but they don’t treat me any differently which I am grateful for.

I will be seeing my mental heath nurse again in a weeks time at my local GP surgery. I know this isn’t the same as what GM offer but it’s doing me a world of good. Just sitting for an hour talking solely about the problem once in a while does take a load of and doesn’t bottle up everything I have inside. The addiction has modified my behaviour over the years and as a result my Mother and Father’s relationship has deteriorated with both myself and with each other.

I overheard them last night arguing about me. I do have my doubts about this rehab. I know it will do a world of good, I’m just not sure I’m ready for it. I feel like i’m being pushed towards it because i’ve been accepted, Mum says that I have to go because I might not be accepted next time if I apply. Is this true?

The real struggle I have currently is picturing myself in a rehab over the Christmas break. I can honestly say hand on heart I have never properly tried giving up gambling before. Whenever it was a problem previously I’d just shrug it off until eventually I go on my next sporadic spree. To be honest, I’m looking forward to the first urge to gamble to see how I handle it. My mindset has changed about gambling completely. Gone is the person who thinks “well if I chuck £20 into the slots I could hit a bonus” and here is the person that sees that £20 as a night out instead, why waste it on something that actually is incredibly repetitive and just puts in you some black hole of problems and depression.

Unfortunately I can’t talk to my parents much about the decision to go to the rehab. It’s not been long enough to prove my mindset about the whole thing has changed and that really they are just waiting for the next slip up. To be honest, this is the first time I can say I’m looking forward to disappointing them on that subject. Let’s see what the next week brings.

Hi Velvet,

Fully understand where you are coming from, I’m not by any means dismissing the fact that the rehab would have excellent effects in comparison to the time taken.

To be honest I suppose its the feeling that come with being a CG showing – What will my friends say? Who will notice I’m missing, how will I cover up to employers where I’ve been for the 3 month hole?

I applied to GM as it jumped out at me. I’m hoping the waiting period will allow me to use the support they offer and perhaps find alternative means for something that fits my needs. I know I have the willpower to stop myself from an addiction – I have given up smoking fairly easily with no problems, it’s a case of putting my mind to it.

For the first time since my family recognised my behaviour and gambling was a problem I am committed to myself to giving this up completely and not looking back. It’s hard to say that the previous methods used were useless because I didn’t truly want to do it.

Aidan
