Fifa/FC points addiction

I didn't think it would happen to me but I'm there. This year on top of others I've spent in excess of £15k on this game and now it's put me in financial trouble and it's destroying me that this has happened over a game. 

I know I need to put the controller down but that feels like I've wasted all of the money this year. Has anyone else got any experience with how to cope with this?

    First, great first step on reaching out and realizing you might have a problem. Not for me to judge my friend. Do you have some other activities that you feel passionate about?  I understand the tremendous rush one gets when playing this game and the various psychological factors that make it addictive. Fear of missing out, the adrenaline during the last minute goal. The need to have even better players etc. These and more all factor in. Not sure if any of this helps, but reply if you want to talk more. You’ll be ok!  

  • Go seek help somewhere - because you are addicted. 

    Have you had experiences with other addictions like gambling on betting etc?

  • @gruffenheisen thats alot of money brother but its a good thing you've realised that you have an addiction. Most gambling addicts never do . I myself was a different kind if gambling addict for many years. The best advice I can give you is to stop the game completely. There's no ifs or buts. That's what I would have done for years but sure I'll play smaller stake or try and limit myself . It never works and it's a road to nowhere and self destruction. You've have to stop as simple as that and if you have a good family support talk to them let them know how you feel and that you need help. Trust me when I say this in time be it a month or so the impulse and urge will disappear and do not substitute it for another form of gambling or game where there is options to spend. If it hasn't started already you will ruin your life and relationships I promise you that much . You'll end up end with nothing and no one . It's a big step to realise and admit the problem be proud of yourself and take the next step
