I am back... and I did it!


After I wrote this post - I struggled for another 5 months. In november, I found the most easy way ever to uninstall Gamban on my phone, and after that it escalated. I could play anywhere, anytime.

But... for some reason I had to deal with my addiction without being dependable of a tool that would block me. It was all up by myself now. So on December the 5th, I made my last deposit.


So what changed? I'll try to explain.


  1. I was totally exposed, and I could see the spiraling downpath to me being broke. I had to stop.
  2. The mindset. I felt that I always lost. I started to feel how rigged everything was. It was a growing distaste of the industry. I started to hate casinos even more.
  3. Keep in mind - every spin on a slot is just a low chance to win anything. The graphics are just there to keep the impression something is happening, but the moment you click to spin, your win have already been calculated - and it's obvious on some casinos where you can actually see your deposit increase before the animations have finished. Like if you win freespins - those 10 or 20 freespins doesn't matter. The total sum have already been determined by the system before the first freespin have happened. <-- This is one of the things that I disliked about it which helped me to distance myself.
  4. Again, the mindset. It's a greedy, horrible industry that will make everything in their power to take your money.
  5. Again, the mindset. If you spend $1000 every month on casinos. Try think differently. If you do NOT gamble, you will HAVE those $1000 that month, and next month too.


I am aware it's easy to fall back. I have falled back 1000 times. But I KNOW I can do it, and you can too. Never lose faith of your own ability to break free. And the positive thing is - the first weeks are the hardest - then it's getting easier because your body is pushing the urge away.


I have now been free almost three months - and I am iron willed about it.

Don’t try to focus on why you relapsed again.

A relapse is part of the journey to a gambling free life.

Just concentrate on keeping space between you and gambling.

With hard work and determination it is possible to overcome the curse
