So, I used to be an gambling addict.

Long ago there were days when I won thousands in online gambling but lost all in few bets.

I remember one night I made over 2 grand only in Tennis (I used to bet in game points LOL) then it took me the next two bets to lose all including the money I initially deposited. I also remember, I got £250 deposit bonus from bet365 and withdraw them successfully even after they had very hard terms and conditions. I think I made over £1200 from those bonus. I used to have accounts with Paddy Power, Ladbrokes, William Hills, Coral, Betfair and many more betting site which I can even remember the names.

Keep depositing and playing was my second job besides my first one. I had only one goal in life which is wait for money to come and gamble. This was my life cycle for long two years:

Work and wait for the salary > Deposit the money to gambling sites and play until I run out of balance > Work and wait for the salary to come.

I was lucky that my friends and family helped me a lot to overcome from the gambling addiction and I did not gamble for long time. Few days ago I thought to give it shot and gambled. I hardly made profit but today it was a disaster LOL. I lost every bet I placed and now the balance is Zero. Damn it.


I know if I start chasing then I will lose more but a mind of me is pushing me to go for it.

Your story about gambling and what you have experience is really bad and not encouraging. Losing such huge amount of money should be able to deliver you from gambling addiction and I hope you have learned to gamble with the money you can lose.

Going back to play again with gambling isn't bad but basing on your betting behavior it seems that addiction is still inside you even you do stop for long with gambling.
Emotions would waken up once again since your body got used to it in the past 2 years so basically your betting behavior would be the same if you do play once again.
Better not to chase your loss because you would come back again on the same scenario just like before.

Yes, I may not an expert in gambling but having a strategy on how much money you want to gamble is a good start even if you lose you still have money left. Everyone always give advice do not put your eggs in one basket or it will be lose in just a few moments or don't gamble your money that you cannot afford to lose.

We have the same history before but after losing much money on gambling I realized that I will never recover all of my loses and realized that gambling is only for entertainment purposes.
That is why gambling casino still operating and stay running at the business it's because this business will never lose as it made only for entertainment purposes. You should realize if how gambling works and why their business is still running.

If you can understand why or how the casino was created you can save your money from being lost and change your mindset from what you trying to achieve in gambling to entertainment purposes.

You can't just avoid gambling if you are being used to it for years.

What matters here is, you are now quiet a responsible gambler. It's just that few days ago, you missed that kind of activity so I see nothing wrong here since after you loss, you decided not to chase loss.

Winnings or losings is part of the game, but the after effects behaviour that it will give you will depend on how will you properly control it.

You know what you did: you just relapsed in your degenerate gambling addiction. Chasing losses won't help.

This screen looks exactly like my bets page on the site. :(
One win then all the rest losses. It is unnerving I know but as soon as you dont have anymore balance there is nothing more to bet with so it is all over.
From the very top bet it looks like you had a 2btc bet. Is that right? Cause my balance is in mbtc and 100 showing on their is 0.1btc. If it is infact 2 whole BTC then yes there is a problem there and you might need to ask them to block your access so you can not bet on their site.
Cause 2btc is months of work to some people and to lose it on a couple of matches is not good for anybody.

You were an gambling addict before, and you stopped playing with a help of your friends and family but it looks like you didn’t learn at all since you keep on chasing your losses now you are doing it again. This can make you addict again, you should learn from your mistakes before.

It is such an unlucky day for you to gamble and you manage to win one but the rest was a disaster and not a single one win after that. I feel so sad to look at those losses especially if this was my hard earned money. It is important that you have to learn your lesson or else you will keep coming back to this routine again.

I know you have been addicted to gambling but being a responsible gambler doesn't stop you to play and bet. You should ask again your family and friends to stop you from doing this and that or else you will be miserable.

You’ve made a bad comeback, and its bad for you again because you started to gamble in a wrong way. I believe you have enough break in gambling so I assume you learn a lot from that so please this time make sure to do the right thing and never to chase your loses, don’t get addict again.

@pamoldar, it's great that you are able to recognize the signs of addiction and also able to stop it before another disaster strikes. Addiction in anything is harmful, be it smoking, drinking or gambling! So understanding the signs of addiction is very important. However, now don't try to recover your losses as it may lead to further losses. Rather accept it and move on! The Sun will rise again tomorrow!

If you continue betting this way you will never be able to make profits out of gambling. Belive me, I'm in the same situation as you are and that's going on for more than 1 year now. Had times when I increased my balance x50 in one month and lost it all in just 2 days. Even though I know it is extremely hard, I recommend you to stop gambling for some time and start reading some self improvement books. I keep saying to myself that I will do this but i never actually got to the point where I started to do what I said. Maybe it will help you

It's unfortunate if you play again just to fix the previous losses that happened, I don't think that would be a good solution with the same game scheme as you lost before, I hope you can think again before that happens quickly, your problem too, for I am a game scheme that is done every time you make a bet, maybe with different styles you can increase at least calmly and cool your head to minimize future losses.

It could be a huge loss for you everyone in this field we need the prophet again attack but losing all your money will give you a bad experience and make the addiction Wasir Tu chemnitz so the experience will definitely helpful for anyone in the future not to make mistakes again.

Recognizing the fact that you might lose more money if you continue to gamble's a great place mindset to be in, as you've successfully stopped gambling (at least for the moment). There's a couple things you can do from here, but the most responsible thing to do IMO is to just straight up stop gambling right now. If you've already got a history of gambling addiction, gambling really just might not be the thing for you.

What I'm about to say next might be easier said than done, but try to find other things you like to do and keep your mind off gambling temporarily. There's got to be something else you enjoy doing out there; if not, you just haven't found it yet. Give other things a shot and you'll find other enjoyable things to do in no time.

Don't do it bro, don't go back to those dark days. I know gambling addiction is really tough to battle but from what you're saying, it seems like you were able to get out of that addiction in the past, and given how you've realized that you might be going down the wrong path again, I'd say you still have strength to overcome this sensation of wanting to gamble more and more. Just take a small break, I'd even say try not to post too much in this section since it might tempt you to keep gambling, or you can just keep discussing with us in the soccer threads like you always do, but just try to stay away from gambling sites, just for a bit. Good luck, buddy!

Have you returned to the old habit, mate?

I think you should control the craving mate. What you did was a "cold turkey" and won't be long to get that craving again.

Gamble with a girlfriend might help since she could stop you if you reach your limit.

its not bad if he will post here because this might be helpful for him to get relief  . he can ontain sympathy and encouragement or any other good words to make him happy and to continue his life  .  its not also bad to gambling , its ok if he will comeback but he will only need to practice playing safe  .  i was once addicted to gambling and i decided to take a break but eventually i decided to comeback but now i know how to handle my self .  same can go to op  .

Even if your mind telling to keep playing the chances of getting addicted again looks less for me because now you can realize that if you continue you will lose more so you will not try to do that when you don't have money and even you need to control your emotions and let it just ease even if you lost your amount get out from that gambling place soon.

Pamoldar, that is a story and it is good that you took the first step of admitting you have an addiction. Any form of addiction is difficult to first admit to yourself as a problem so I am glad you see it already.

I know a lot of people talk about addiction like it is something stupid. I know because I also have some other form of addiction, but I will not mention it. My friends who know think it is stupid and expensive. But it lets me work every day and helps me, so I do not know how to get out of it.

We try every day. Never give up trying.

How long did you manage to quit the first time?
Do you think you can just quit again now, or would or be more difficult this time around?

Since you've been able to quit already before, I'd suggest just quitting again by yourself.
Maybe download an app on your phone that records how much money you save by not gambling. I know there are similar apps for quitting smoking, so there's probably one for gambling too.

When you see how much money you save, you might be less tempted to gamble again.

If that doesn't work, maybe it's time to start seeking professional help.

I know how you feel. Many of us here do. We all understand that we can only lose more while chasing our losses, and yet it's so hard to suppress the urge. The worst part is that there are chances of winning. If we knew that we would lose for sure, it would be much easier to restrain from chasing our losses. I can tell you what I do in such cases. I literally don't open any gambling site page for several days. Then I realize that it wasn't the end of the world, that life goes on and that I can live without the amount I lost so there's no need in trying to recover it.

And so, the universe conspire to make you stop gambling permanently. All i can see is LOST and mate i think you shouldnt try gambling again even its just for a break. You dont notice it but as soon as you get back to it, you will start betting more and get addict again. Take this as a lesson and do whats right now.

Addiction can come and hit you again so what you are doing is dangerous. If I were addicted once and had managed to quit and stop my addiction, I would never try again as the risk seems high.

Constant betting if with a small managed bankroll weekly or monthly is not dangerous if you don't break your borders of this bankroll. If you go beyond addiction maybe just behind the door.

You've succeeded in quiting gambling. Why make your life mesirable again. You shouldn't try it again as you know in yourself that gambling is very addictive. If you continue again then you really don't succeed in quiting but you only take a break and here you are again starting to become greedy.

I wouldn't call it dangerous, its just money which is ultimately meaningless.  There are far worse addictions that actually affect your health and will shorten your lifespan.

A gambling addict will definitely come back again even though he has been successful to quit, because gambling itself can be found wherever we are. So environmental factors will make gambling addicts wake up from a long break, but with a lot of experience, then you should have a good level of control not to be greedy and able to manage bankroll well even though losing in gambling is difficult to avoid.

It really becomes much difficult to get out from the addiction of gambling. If you were really been away from gambling for years than you should have perhaps not gone for gambling again and seeing your bet history, I can only suggest you to stay away from gambling if you don’t want to face any losses ahead.

Gambling has addicted a lot of peoples and also some of those went bankrupt. Gambling is a service where once we loose, we go for it again and the same happens until our balance is finished or we face any other issues. You can play with small bets if you can’t stay away from gambling but try to maintain a gap at least in your games.

There's nothing wrong in gambling again but unfortunately he started losing and it gave him the urge to chase his losses.

It's difficult to maintain yourself when your having a losing day. Sometimes you get carried away having second thoughts, imagining that you can win it all back but in reality it will always fail.

From the screenshot of OP and with those parlays we can tell that he already went back.

Nothing was specified on how long his break was.

The mindset that you need to have when gambling should be very brave and you shouldn't have any fear in your mind about losing, so that winning mindset plays a very important part while gambling. I hope you didn't lose too much after returning back to gambling, I don't understand those numbers if they are pounds or something else. Still, sorry for your loss and I feel you should save instead of gambling as it doesn't look suitable for your appetite. :P

I consider yourself to be lucky in the situation. You got an early wake up call by losing all your bets, now your mind and body doesn't even had the chance of feeling what winning bets are like. Once you yourself remembers it then I think your gambling addiction might relapse during that situation. Just my opinion Pamoldar I think you don't need to chase your money back and I wouldn't play anymore gambling games if I know that I have a high chance of relapsing.

That is a part of growing and knowing that gambling won't make you good. In gambling, winning is winning if you know how to play without emotion attached. I do understand how much loss you had but please go and get up and come back.  It's not too late to come back and learn things. Good luck to your future career and I hope you will learn from this.

Hey yours is a classic gamblers tale and I’m glad that you did not loose all your money, you really need to thank your friends and family for saving you back then. When you speak about your past bets I feel you used to do adequate research, and were in sync with team performances hence you were able to win. Now when you played you played on sentiments and without due research, hence you didn’t win but now stop study your sport and then play later on.

hopefully those 8,000 are uBTC and not mBTC otherwise I feel very sorry with you.

Being addicted to gambling is a disease just like any addiction. But if you want to keep betting, havent you never thought about starting with value betting? I am doing that for some time already. The profits aren't that huge but I practically make consistent profits.

Do not go back to your vomit bro lol. I thought you said that your family saved you from the addiction? why then are you trying to let them down?
You should consider locking away the extra money you make from your job and gambling. Lock the money for at least one week to help you save too

Wtf , vomit ?  Lol  . there are many words to describe but why you use vomit .  sounds gross to me  tbh .


Maybe he is proving to his family that gambling can make his life more sucesful if ever he manage to wont huge amount of cash . or he is trying again to play gambling in moderation .


Thats a good idea you got there .  i totally agree on it  .  it helps combat addiction while also help you earn more

I bet you had a hard time to overcome your addiction. Your subconscious said that you wanna try it again and you didn't fight it. From what you have admitted here, your addiction resulted to an impulse-control disorder. Youve been lucky, you have a loving family and friends who wish you to keep yourself intact.
Anyway, it is not giving you any good reasons to continue gambling. Meditate and keep yourself distance again.  ;D lol

Losing 1200 pounds has it not been assured that he has fear? He has high brave when playing gambling not necessarily people will do that including me. If I got 1200 pounds maybe I would go and go forth in gambling site for a moment and come back again when I was really sure I wasn't hypnotized by another win. Yea I hope to, but I'm not sure he can avoid that, he already knows not to pursue another win he wants but his mind is always pushing to do it again.

I am sad that once again you have lost but in the same time, i am happy that you are one gamble who are still perfect mind during his bad experience of gambling addictive. Because it is hard to bear our loss and then once again start to earn money. But i advise you that once again your luck is not lucky in gambling, So do betting, but not forget your bad experience of past history of gambling.

You should be an example for many other gamblers in order to avoiding making the decisions you made.
You need to get some support from your family, your friends so that you will overcome your addiction because this will be disastrous for your life if it will continue in the future.

Dear community,
I am so pumped to see the positive reaction and care from all of you. I read most of the responses it most of them were inspiring. The addiction period was around 2010-2012 and after that I did not gamble until recently.

I am still in full control of my emotion. The money I deposited I lost them but I am okay with it. This is what I am doing:

- Not looking at any odds
- Not even logging in any betting account
- Focusing on very less football updates because this is where my addiction is.
- I am doing some other activities which is keeping me away to think about gambling

Vomit is just the term from "going back to your vomit",,, it is because dogs and cats like to do that. They vomit what hurts them, so it is finally  out of their bodies, but in the end they always go back to it. My dog used to always eat up all his vomit so I know this term is true!

But back to the topic, it is not the easiest thing to get rid of an addiction. All of us who have addictions know this to be true. We can even give up something after a great struggle for years and it takes one incident and one moment for a relapse.

Good luck again Pamoldar, I hope you always let us know when you need us. And yes, keep doing something outside, distractions work for a while but find something you are passionate about.

Cool story bro, Damn I don't know how much I lost in the last 10 years or so of my gambling addiction. Heck I even would escape my job and play in a casino and then make excuses not to go to work the next day until one day they have to let me go. It really sucks but I guess I have to man up and make a turn for the better. I still played but not like before though, I just control myself (which is very hard to do) and not to recover all my losses in that (bad) run I have years ago.

Glad to hear that you still have full control of your emotion because I think that is the important thing that every gambler should have.

You have done a good thing to help you control the emotion. I see that you can build new activities which can attract your mind to stay focus on those activities, so there is no chance for you to think about gambling.

I am sure that it will work well too for the others and I think they need to learn from you. I am sure that soon, you can be a person who can help other people around you to solve their addiction to gambling.

Trying to not to recover the lost amount of the gambling sites is also need to be considered as a form of controlling ourselves.But you need to remember that you can't make your life earnings from gambling for that you need to go to job,or do some business.I always having control my gambling activities under my limit because I know that I can't afford much for it,if I have that money I can invest it to somewhere I can keep making assured earnings.

This type of incident will made any person into experienced person that he won't make any mistakes again in his life especially in gambling but it was a huge loss for get it back to your life is very tough but we need to move on from any situation it will be positive or a negative.

Gambling is a horrible disease so if you dont feel compelled to go back to it then dont.
Similar to an alcoholic who drank for many years and decided to stop to better his health.
If one day that alcoholic decided to potentially relapse, like him you need to think about how the positives outweigh the negatives of your addiction.
Stay strong and dont let anyone else persuade you into doing what you know is the wrong thing for you ideally.

But you still bet after you survived on your gambling addiction?
Well, from here i can see your self-control and its good for you to keep going like this. Now i see a more responsible person on you. We can really survive on gambling addiction if we continue to help ourself to do so. Congrats for this one!  :)

if you will continuously put your bets with high odds expect that your loosing streak will continue, as you can see on your bets you have been won with a low odds, you are betting with a high risk that is why you are keep on loosing, but if that is your betting strategy then go for it.

That's probably will happen, you've experience it already and you will just repeat things over and over, in the end you will loss more money
and your effort from your job will just be wasted for nothing. I am not judging your future because it should be you, if you will continue and you feel you have a chance then you have to go with it, establishing a bankroll is hard especially that you are betting a decent amount of money.

I believe you are playing at sports.io with the ss your showed, may I suggest to just bet on parlays with huge payout and risk only a small amount, if you are lucky you can start it as your bankroll and gamble it in even games. I believe there are high odds in sportsbet like x100, x50, etc, you can use them.

Shit happens sometimes. I remember one day I bet for 5 football match and I lost every match. You will be surprised that I had lost one bet which I made after my choosing team score 1 goal. That's the sad part of betting.

That my friend, is the endless cycle of gambling. Regardless of your winnings or losings, no matter what happens (if you fail to discipline yourself) you will always go back and try to win more OR recover your losses. The only way to stop this is by knowing WHEN TO STOP BETTING. If this helps, try adding a limit to your daily/weekly/monthly bets. Set a specific value that you are willing to lose and from there, play with your resources.

Bottomline, once you start experiencing a losing streak in gambling your mind will always tell you to RECOVER those losses. Move-on and accept that the only way to recover those losses is by STOPPING.


If this were the situation, I think the best way to help himself is by asking his loved ones or relatives for help. If they cannot help themselves then intervention of their families may at least convince the person to stop. The first step is always on the mind and deciding that you want to change for the better.

I have been through this and I can relate. You have stayed away from gambling for 2 years by the help of your friends and family and I assure you can away for a longer time. Don’t think of getting back to recover loses, you just need a break. Gambling is meant to be fun and not require so much commitment.

You can imagine how much you have lost and the good things this money would have done to you, no one can advise you now except you talk to yourself.

Once you are taking a long break it could be also for your 20 so after entering from a long period of time you will also be like a new here so my Open tennis in this type of situation investing very low amount will be more recommendable and also suggest them because if you invest a lot more amount it may also be lost by you.

This is usually happen in gambling, the more we hunger of winning the more it goes far to us and it causes more losses by then.
In every gambling, we don't have to expect of winning cause we only have less chances for that knowing that luck isn't all of the time with us.

Having a look break from gambling, it is somewhat enough to realize of what we do and how much we loss those times when we are addicted into it.

Help from others is totally different when you do first help yourself. You are right than no one on this world can help you completely but only yourself.
Long duration of break time doesn't make sure that you are already broke on gambling addiction because a single game can trigger out once again your addiction.
It well depends on a certain person on how he handle gambling back from after a long break.

So if the degree of uncertainty is that high and if the loss in gambling cannot be avoided, why to enter the gambling in the first place? Those who have a million dollars do not mind loosing few thousand dollars but those who intend to put in the only money they have is something alarming. It is like putting all you family at risk. Thus proved that gambling is not for everyone and better be part of the cryptomarket rather than part of gambling.

This things should be avoided, though OP already mentioned that he still have full controlled  it means that he wouldn't push anything without
thinking of possible risk, someone who have control and good mindset will completely quit and accept loses instead of trying to recover using additional
funds, limited bankolls and playing only to have some fun.

For OP, good to have additional activities to keep yourself busy and your minds to be more focus from other things inside of it.
Good luck  and keep your assets safe, avoid risking money that can be used from other things aside from gambling.

You really can't tell the state of mind of a gambler on that moment. But I really do hope that what he's saying that he's in full control is true. Because sooner or later, once he's hooked up again with his betting, he can easily go back to his old self.

The reentry is also considered like a new people entered into this field so if you are invested here after a long period of time you could also need some training to get the flow of this field this could be a important thing for anyone to stay with a constant stability here otherwise you will definitely lose all of your investment.

Gambling is not an investment, obviously you are not reading the OP, refrain from doing this as you might be seen as spamming only.
There was a reentry but according to OP the result is still the same, he still loss in sports gambling.

Most people who go into gambling do not enter with the mindset of losing, people lose because they either aren’t careful enough, too greedy, or it’s not just the right time. I like the idea of entering with a brave mindset. This is the mindset that accepts anything that comes after the game. Honestly i really think the guy should quit the game because it’s not for him.

You should simply quit, don't try to waste you money one more time on something you are not good in it. I believe you don't have any aims or plans behind why you gamble. if you did, you would have withdraw some of the money you made whiles gambling without using that. Gambling is not your calling, you just have to quit.

sometimes after we take a long break and come in again, it's like getting a good mood and being able to win bets, I've done that.

It depends on your luck as always. No matter you take a long break or not, it wont affect the result of your gamble. Take a break on gambling should be used to refresh your mind only, you should never think that you will always win once you coming back after a long break.

Just like the result on the OP, he’s addict on gambling before and able to recover from that but since gambling is still here, he tried to gamble again and lose money. Luck is something that we should not depend on, if you want to stop gambling then you must commit on that and play occasionally, don’t let this game lose your money again.

Doing multi odds sports games are a great way to get some hugs cash returns, but it’s also an easy way to keep losing. Switching to just doing single bets would be a good start, I almost never do multi bets.
Every gambler can have longer periods of days or weeks where he just keep losing, setting apart an amount you want to play for each week and stick to that, are one way to keep your looses in some kind of control.

You confused with beginner's luck here,it is not going to bring any fortue for us when we returned to gamble after long break.You might have enough money to gamble more after long break which may increase your chance.

Only if we are lucky enough to win. I'm afraid if we just loss all of the money we have configuring the fact that we put into our mind that we have a lot of money to spend in gambling and not even realize how much we loss.
The time that OP have taking its break, it somehow he could realize that addiction won't give a wonderful endings instead, its just a nightmare.

Of course we have examples and people around who have lost big in gambling and later on made billions as well. Remember this is a multi billion dollar industry. Total worth is about 530 billion dollar. So, those who have build businesses around gambling will device ways to attract people and at times letting them win for a longer stay. So this is not a surprise at all. The investors here have to make money.

Perhaps that day was your unluckiest day and sad to hear about your loss perhaps that's an eye opener for you that you have to quit it. You've overcome it one time at least make it now a habit to push that and leave for good in gambling. There are other ways to make money though not that exciting as what we feel when we gamble and hit the euphoric stage to want it again the next time.

Gambling industry is so big and a profitable business and people who do keep feeding them up are those who do seek entertainment
but majority are those people who are greedy on making fast money that's why this business is really profitable in the end of the day.

Situation of OP, its better to avoid as much as he can that related to gambling because he do make bets the same as when he still addicted to it.
So its still a dangerous thing that he might go into the same mistake again.

Gambling won’t that easily allow any of us to take a leave. Even if we run out of funds, some or the other way comes out to gamble if our mind is set in that direction. Gambling is highly addictive and such examples prove it. Gambling even if we have loss is something like buying a dead token. Gambling generates huge expectations and those expectations end up having nothing in our hand. This lets peoples think more about it and the more they think, the more deeper they go into gambling.

@Pamoldar
Well I can relate !
This is my story :
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5100668.msg49362954#msg49362954

You got a family, people you need to provide for ?
If you do, just be reasonable and think about them first !

Whether you want it or not, you're a gambler anyway... you're gambling on Bitcoin. That should be enough, whether you're looking for just the thrill or mostly the money.

That's the ultimate thing as a reasonable gambler, knowing how to handle or control the said addiction. Involving your humble self with those activities that could be of help in order for you to be less addictive to gambling is impressive and must be commended. Family must be put in the front line when gambling because they need us to survive and not to put them in ignominy.     

Earlier the people understand more better it is as this will help them to save money and time and accordingly will choose to gamble either for fun or to make money from gambling. We have seen so many instances where people have lost huge money and also disturbed mentally.

If gambling does not favor you, it doesn’t matter how long the break taken, one would still return back to loosing.
The best is to stay off and stay off completely. Gambling is not for everyone, and it does not require any kind of mood to play. Your mood will never determine how you lose or win a gambling game but rather luck.

If mood was the determinant for winning gambling I am very sure most people would ensure they have a happy time before stepping in to play and what about those who have gambled out of over excitement and yet loose all at the end.

As recently some expert gamblers said in gambling luck is important but it plays only 40 percent role in your earning remaining 60 percent you will have to make for yourself, in gambling taking break does not matter but if you take never stay away from gambling, try to use your time id researching and keep watching different games.

Get job, do something online like own website and take care of it's development, learn programming and start working on envato and etc, you'll have no time to gamble. On another hand there is nothing wrong with gambling, personally I like poker very much and often play it but play with small money and my aim isn't to make profit from it. Don't ever think you can get profit by gambling, no, there is no way. Just gamble for fun and everything will be okey.
Also ask yourself, if anyone would be able to profit from casinos, then would they exist?

It is a vicious cycle, you can't get out of it easily.

You can't expect your friends and family to help you all the time.
I encourage you to talk to specialist in gambling addiction.

It's good to see it, especially the last sentence, because this is what helps me personally, and this is what I suggest to others when they can't figure out how to stop gambling for a while. To keep you engaged those activities should be really entertaining, and it's even better when there is a chance of getting something out of it. Fishing and metal detecting are good substitutes for gambling, and you can find something worth over $1 million with the latter btw. For example, this hoard

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watlington_Hoard

was purchased from the finder for £1.35 million.

Good luck!

If you take a long break from gambling and then return to it, it does not matter. Even if you keep on playing daily it does not matter even.
