Taking a break from gambling

[ocid]

OP's going to take a break and that's what he have to do. Looking for other activities which you can focus with will make your attention draw far away from gambling.

Getting involved in other activities that a person of their age should take of will help them get over their addiction to gambling. It helps people to forget about the impulse that drives them to gamble and is a part of the rehab of addicted gambling as well. They may realize some old hobbies that they had forgotten they used to perform at one time as well.

A gambler should take a break if he sees himself going far from the usual activity that he does and its no longer helping him.

Gambling itself no longer helps the addicted gambler but the casino itself for being a regular source of money.

not many people do gambling activities like playing casinos to get regular money that must be obtained from him, maybe only people who are used to gambling and know the tricks of playing in casinos always benefit when playing. most people who like to gamble are of course just having fun and trying their luck to get big wins from gambling
after we experience a defeat or victory from a break gambling in a few moments it must be done so that our emotions can be more controlled when we play

Yes, we have to break while gambling because I have seen if we continuously gambling means the chances of losing might be very high. So always we have to take a break in order to be in safe hands.

If someone has realized that by gambling he will only get bad things, then leaving gambling activities is the only way to take. He must force himself to stop completely, no matter how heavy the effort is.

Yes and if you'll do a small back read that's what he's doing right now. And what all of you said are correct and that helped him a lot when he started doing activities not related to gambling and if you'll see on the first page he seems enjoying it.

Better shift focus on something else. Something interesting yet beneficial and not too risky. Well, we all know gambling addiction is like a cancer eating us slowly slowly until we are left dead. Dead in terms of finances, focus and right point of view. This feeling that we get whenever we are losing drives us to be more crazy. Good for you then for making that decision.

If you think you're already addict in gambling, better to have some break and enjoy your life outside that world. Gambling is really not good to anyone, whether you make profit or not simply because in the long run your life will be broke because of that addiction. Its good to have some focus in other things that can also make you money with just a small amount of risk, investing and trading can be more beneficial that to depend on any gambling.

Luckily I can control myself from gambling all the time. I knew gambling because of crypto and the tempting promotion able to attract me to gamble without thinking especially for dice.
For some people may be difficult because it's become their nature to gamble but as long as they able to responsible with their action, it's OK.

lucky for you, because not everyone can control themselves at gambling.
maybe you have had a bitter experience at gambling, so you can learn from your experience. so that you can master the self-control that every gambler must have

At least, we need to learn how to control ourselves at the gambling so we can prevent to lose much money. Although it will difficult, we need to keep trying to control because this is worth for you if you have a plan to stop playing gambling in someday. With controlling yourselves, you can be able to stop the game in anytime you want and this will help you to take a break from gambling.

It is very important to take some rest from gambling and spend more time with your family. You will be mentally relaxed and your money will also be saved. Regular gambling will take you to the worst conditions and it is not good for you and for your family as well. There are many other activities in the world for entertainment and enjoyment. You can engage yourself there.

It is good for your mental relaxation because gambling is totally full of tension and dissatisfaction. When you set aside from gambling for some time you will feel better. Try to spend this time with your family and think about their future. May you quit gambling forever? I know it is hard for addicted and regular gamblers but it is necessary for your family.

If you're actually addicted, I don't think that it's enough to just take a break.
When you gamble again, you will just get addicted again. Some people just can't control themselves in that regard, they would be unable to just take a break, it's kinda all or nothing for them.

I don't know if I would recommend a gambling addict to try investing or trading. That could easily turn into gambling for them as well.

Better for him if he can take break form the gambling as it seems addiction is getting high on him and if now he does not stop it then it will be high time that he will start losing out a lot of stuff including money as well. Hopefully will listen to our advice and take appropriate action on it.

That wouldn't really be a good idea, that person might have some relapse and forget what to do when he is in his downtime (not gambling).
I think if you have known a person a gambling addict, they would take the world in a risky way, which wouldn't be wrong but if you cannot control it,
it's better to be safe than sorry unless you know that you can already, but there is no assurance for anyone. It's always going to be a risk, living in this world.

Lately I felt that I've been gambling a bit too much, it evolved into a weekly event where I would spend a little bit more money than I had originally planned for.
I've decided to take a break from gambling for a while, it's been 3 weeks since my last bet.

Just wanted to make this post in case someone else has any problems with this, spending more than intended, I mean.
You just kinda get into the habit without noticing at first, but you should really take immediate action when you do.

For me it was just a couple of hundred euros overspending, maybe for a month or so.
Taking a break was pretty easy, just replaced the gambling with a bit more gaming and writing articles.

Having a bit of extra cash now as well, always comes in handy

Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.

As of now I am not yet stopped gambling even for a day. But I see to it that I will never spend too much of what I intend to bet. what we need to do in order to avoid bug losses is to control our betting and don't get too hooked up in gambling.

Regular gamblers quit gambling when they have no more money and if are gambling addicted then they will do something illegal to get some money for their gambling. This is not good overall and that’s why gambling is assumed bad thing in the whole world. Time pass gamblers can quit gambling easily because they do not gamble for making money.

It is too dangerous when you get addicted and then coming out of it is a big challenge. Not everyone can quit the gambling once they are addicted and it literally wastes the life of people when they cannot come out of it. People lose money, health, family , friend etc.

Better quit gambling as soon as possible. You need not to take a break but need to quit gambling forever. It is a fact that if you are a gambler you will not be able to quit gambling easily but if try you can do it and If you have any care for your family and their future it will become easy for you to quit gambling. Sensible people can quit gambling easily.

Overall if this happens it defeats the purpose of gambling as generally gambling is meant to have the best of the time with friends and family. Relax and entertainment yourself when you are free and not to get so much addicted that you need to steal or borrow the money from someone else to gamble.

Doctors say that atleast one day rest in a week is necessary for physical and mental relaxation; otherwise they will be depressed and tired every time and will lose their health before the time. Therefore I think that taking a break from gambling is also good for mental relaxation and for saving money. You can spend that free time with your family, relatives and friends.

Your only options on the "interesting yet beneficial and not too risky" is only real life work jobs you know...

Yeah it is better idea. There are many good activities in the world in which you can spend your time happily. Gambling is not a business that you cannot take a break from it. It is just a waste of time and money and it will be much better if you quit gambling for some time. if you can quit forever it will be best but if not then leave gambling for some time.

Closing this topic, since there doesn't appear to be any original discussion any more.
It would just attract more spam if I leave it up.

Also, I've decided that I'm not going to gamble any more at all, so now it's completely irrelevant.

Thanks to those who've made genuinely good replies!
