hillowner45 Posted December 4, 2018 #26 Posted December 4, 2018 I would like to think that my "control" over gambling is improving, but I know that things could spiral down quickly in the blink of an eye. I'm still trying to remove it from my life completely because Its too difficult to maintain a healthy relationship with gambling, well for me anyway I get addicted to things too easily. Its like quitting porn but not masturbation. It just doesn't work, the two go hand to hand and to stop either you need to remove them both completely.
xtinepink Posted December 5, 2018 #27 Posted December 5, 2018 I can say I am addicted since I am almost everyday here, especially that there is the straight challenges for December. Although I still make sure that I don't get to the point of selling items just to make a deposit in gambling, I think that is too much already.
Mrputo Posted December 5, 2018 #28 Posted December 5, 2018 im sorta, high level addicted which enticed me on betting and betting and betting....
Etude Posted December 5, 2018 #29 Posted December 5, 2018 Yup it's hard to deny that the addiction is real lols. Yes I would agree with xtinepink that if you end up selling whatever is essential to you just to gamble that would definitely have gone too far.
Cheetos1337 Posted December 5, 2018 #30 Posted December 5, 2018 I searched through multiples dictionaries and none of them can describe my addiction...
zeriko Posted December 20, 2018 #31 Posted December 20, 2018 It starts out great, a few wins here and there and the excitement but pretty soon, without you knowing it starts to take a grip on you. Denial sets in where you lie and you cover the addiction to family and friends, because basically you don’t wanna stop. You start to plan your next gambling adventure, you next session, you forget and then lose your interests and hobbies, you forget your morals and your own standards as a person as the addiction takes holds, and you simply feed it, never yourself. Addiction blocks emotions, it suppresses them so much you don’t ‘fee’ anything, only when you gamble, it takes you away from you, and your problems and then gives you a hundred more. It slowly starts to eat away at your self-esteem, your confidence and any belief you had in yourself. You live when you gamble, you feel and everything is gonna be ok, but you always, always lose, you have to if your a compulsive gambler and you then let go of so much anger and frustration, but you blame yourself for being so stupid and worthless, you feel like a nothing and then you have to play again to feel anything and feel good about yourself. Gambling is a great way to feel like a something, and a great way to make you feel like a nobody. You lose your money or you want to stop for good, then loads of pent up emotion is there, huge feelings of loss, guilt, shame, sadness and anger from the past 5 years of addiction, which makes things so difficult to face, a life that seems black and endless. Queue thoughts of suicide, depression and anxiety which are there constantly underneath.

Etude Posted December 21, 2018 #33 Posted December 21, 2018 If I would be honest at this point, it would seems to feel like I am progressively getting more and more addicted to the games at Stake than I already am. Slightly surprising but also to a certain extent it is expected since the games at Stake are so absorbing. @_@
Realraidengod Posted December 21, 2018 #34 Posted December 21, 2018 im addicted till i bust if i have a balance it must be wager lol thats my addition
Shaniqua Posted December 22, 2018 #35 Posted December 22, 2018 Found it guys.... How many of the DSMV diagnosis criteria do you guys meed for addiction: Hazardous use: You've used the substance in ways that are dangerous to yourself and/or others, i.e., overdosed, driven while under the influence, or blacked out. Social or interpersonal problems related to use: Your substance use has caused relationship problems or conflicts with others. Neglected major roles to use: You've failed to meet your responsibilities at work, school, or home because of your substance use. Withdrawal: When you've stopped using the substance, you've experienced withdrawal symptoms. Tolerance: You've built up a tolerance to the substance so that you have to use more to get the same effect. Used larger amounts/longer: You've started to use larger amounts or use the substance for longer amounts of time. Repeated attempts to control use or quit: You've tried to cut back or quit entirely, but haven't been successful. Much time spent using: You spend a lot of your time using the substance. Physical or psychological problems related to use: Your substance use has led to physical health problems like liver damage or lung cancer, or psychological issues, such as depression or anxiety. Activities given up to use: You've skipped activities or stopped doing activities you once enjoyed in order to use the substance. Craving: You've experienced cravings for the substance. list taken from the following site: https://www.verywellmind.com/what-are-the-official-criteria-for-addiction-22493

If you are able to control your spending, and don't waste all your money gambling, then I don't think it's a problem. I also spend a large portion of my day on Stake, but I don't gamble with money I can't afford to lose. I don't see that as an addiction (maybe just with your time).
clariaaaa Posted December 22, 2018 #37 Posted December 22, 2018 other than freaking out chasing back my lost, i guess i m not so addicted to gambling . i think.

clariaaaa Posted December 23, 2018 #39 Posted December 23, 2018 Just now, Carollzinha said: You should never try to chase your loss.. that is where the danger lives lol agreed. IF only i can. i put only a certain amount of coins that i willing to lose in the playing wallet . Not much control but at least i wont lose it all. :)
KiXxnTRiXx Posted December 27, 2018 #40 Posted December 27, 2018 Very addicted to be quite honesty. The proof is in no matter how frustrated i get everytime in everyday, i keep on coming back and put myself in the same predicament. Ive been aware of this fact for a while now, and during winter is really when the addiction gets to its peak because i rarely go out and since i do not watch tv, going online is one of the few and easy thing i can do to distract myself from my own head. O.O
cottonbudd Posted December 27, 2018 #41 Posted December 27, 2018 I can say that i addicted with Stake right now I don't know why, i think just because this website have a fun games and make player comfortable with the game
FotisNt Posted December 27, 2018 #42 Posted December 27, 2018 Hello, i consider my self as an addicted on gambling monkey, although i know where to stop and how to stop:D. Anyway ive no problems with gambling so far which makes gambling way more interesting for me.
Laura2000 Posted December 27, 2018 #43 Posted December 27, 2018 i like the adrenaline in all its ways, in sports, in live, in game... but i am not totally addicted as i think on it, i think is my personal situation of unemployment what is doing me being here a lot of time, chatting with good friends
Mikehoncho Posted December 28, 2018 #44 Posted December 28, 2018 I am not addicted to crypto itself. It is the easy gambling I am hooked on. I have a problem with addiction and this is just one of my many vices. I can't get my life together due to a combination of them.
jinz Posted December 28, 2018 #45 Posted December 28, 2018 I am not betting every time I am online on Stake. Most of the time I am just chatting so I don't consider my self addicted to gambling.
