Longest Break You Have On Not Gambling

[Oilacris]

It's hard to take a break from gambling if it's become a habit, what's your Longest Break You Have On Not Gambling, in my case my longest days of break from gambling is 30 days when I take a vacation from a place when there are no casinos, and no internet connection.

Im not really that kind of a gambler that do likes to play on all of sort.I cant even play like forever if I wanted to yet im playing occasionally

depending on my mood and in my interest.Sometimes it would last 3 to 4 months or even just last for 1 days because you wont know on when
you do get the feeling of getting bored.So its all random.

But if you are addicted to gambling, a week without in the set is a little bit frustrating but for me who've never been in gambling all the time, it is gonna be fine even it reaches to 1-month break. It is all about how we manage ourselves self and to have a break in gambling it doesn't mean that we are about to quit soon but it just how to avoid being addicted to it.

Well, I consider my self far from being addicted or habitual but I usually visited the gambling sites not to put my bets but just to enhance my learning and get some updates. I don't think if it was a break but it sounds like that...cause I'd never spend money for this time.

Once after getting into gambling, it is impossible to stay away from it even for a week is truly a hard thing. Earlier when I was much into sports betting I had the control and I spend only on the games that I've good knowledge in predicting the result considering various things. Now after getting into casinos, particularly into dice I wasn't able to stay away from gambling. After experiencing big loss past one week I've stayed away from gambling. I believe this is the longest break at present.

Gambling involves money and money is the most important thing to survive in this world. Now gambling also provides a way to win money without doing any work at all. Basically a person is playing games and making money from it. Though the chances of winning are low still the hope to get some is enough to lure majority of gamblers here. If played, gambling should be done with little amounts of money.

I can say that gambling has always been part of my life already, I gamble on a regular basis and in different type of gambling.
As I stay here in the crypto space, there's a lot of gambling sites that provides entertainment to people like me so I will have to enjoy every moment so I won't be bored working online.

Well, I think I have no issue with a break in gambling, I can do a week or a month or even more, but only if I needed to. 

Make sure you can do it or not! Because once we had something is habit then its hard to resist and there will be no problem with it if you know what you are doing and where your limits lies.I am not even gambling regularly so taking a break will not problem for me.

There are times that I can't avoid myself of getting addicted but I'm still thankful it did not last that long, I lost some, regret the decision and then back again. It's just my journey, I am not perfect but at least I am not that worst when it comes to controlling myself,  and any time I think of having a break, I am not having a hard time doing it.

This is really based on how anyone handle their gambling activity.

that's why in the beginning its necessary that you understand and you are matured enough so you can make the right decision every time.

to some yes but to some  no  . as long as you can eat atleast 2 times a day then money is not the most important part for you but what more important to you is that you are happy and you are enjoying simple things in life like playing a gambling but only in a moderate way  . talking a break is good but taking a long break can be depended like for example when your on a vacation or you are just busy with your personal life ( ex. on work or on your career )

The longest break in leaving gambling is about 3 months. That is because I don't have much free time to think or to play gambling. Besides that, at that time, I have been busy in real life, and I used my time to completed what I did. But yes, I also have the other longest days of break from gambling, but 3 months is the longest days I don't gamble. When I vacation, sometimes I use my time to play the dice games, but I only spend less than 30 minutes just to kill my time because of waiting for someone or waiting for my friends.

But I feel that if we can leave gambling for more than 3 months, we can also reduce our behavior in gambling and who knows, we can also prevent the addicting that will be difficult to solve.

Once you got back in gambling and you are still not discipline, you will still continue to loss and eventually get addicted.
You stopped for 3 months, that only save you 3 months of losing money but the urge inside and that lack of discipline will never be loss once you are getting addicted.

When we say a gambler has discipline, he should be able to stop anytime, but if a gambler is enjoying and he doesn't complain although he gamble on a regular basis, there is no reason for him to stop since everyone of us are looking for real happiness and gambling could be one, although a lot of people might not agree with me.

There is a difference between hobby and habit. I treat gambling as a hobby. I gamble when I am not doing anything that keeps me busy and focused. When I am not busy, which is the case for the past several weeks, I may spend time rolling the dice or analyzing my sports bets or spend time with friends playing card games. I also go to cockfighting but mostly only when invited. I have had gambling breaks which take months, especially when I am into field works.

Probably only about a month or two. I can't tell it for sure because I gamble in a lot of places from esports betting to dice. The biggest temptation for me is a big event in CSGO. There are about 2 or 3 big events in a month on average. I can't resist to make a deposit and start placing bets for those tournaments. Doesn't matter if I make profit or loss, I usually withdraw the rest of my balance after the tourney is finished.

The longest break I've had was over a year, I have 12 hours of work I have a hard time going online because of time limitation, it's not so hard for me actually, because gambling is only past time and I only bet a small amount, I can leave gambling and I can go back if I like to come back anytime.

[Battareus]

Gambling is like an any other bad habit such as smoking, is easy for someone to quit, it's hard for others who quit, then start again, quit again... Someone can quit gamble for the whole remaining life and therefore it is unlikely to be found him on the forum. My longest period was 1 day.

Due the addictive nature just like cigarette addiction.. people would become anxious when they stop doing that.

Even when you have no money in your pocket you'll force yourself to push the limit even borrowing money here and there , that moment is the starting point your life gonna be fucked up for sure.
Not sure if people could really avoid the gambling addiction by taking some breaks, it's proven didn't work out unless if you have some replacement of your gambling habit which it takes long time to realize it all.

It is good that you are flexible enough and not rigid or addicted that you cannot leave the gambling easily . This will help you to quit anytime whenever it is needed and take a long break as well if the need be and stay away  from it .

There's really people who can manage to balance things, this types of gamblers are always in the positive side of this activities. Whatever happens
it's easy for them to stop and forget for a while and manage to continue life without playing for the long time. It's safe to anyone since it can avoid
you to become addicted and stress yourself everyday in thinking of gambling from time to time.

I stayed away from gambling for years

I guess the last time I gambled big was in early 2015, then I switched to active trading, which was just another form of gambling for me back in the day. These days I don't trade so much, partly because I don't overtrade (as was the case before) and partly because the market is no longer as wild and stormy as it was in 2015 through 2018. So now I can allow myself to gamble a little here and there testing different gambling strategies (mostly varieties of martingale) but not in a big way

The longest period where I quit gambling was 3 years.
I was betting online when I lost a lot of money in some minutes and then I decided to self-block my account. I have a feeling to gamble in the start but this started fading day by day. After 3 years I became a more prudent gambler and opened an account again.

then I decided to self-block my account.

You mean you closed the account(block?) or locked it with some sort of time lock?
I'd really like to see some secure crypto/bank accounts having timelock feature to prevent those going through addiction from spending all their money in a day. I guess the feature already exist but it's not that popular.

Nice one.
When we suppress most kinds of addiction for sometimes, they just fade away gradually and eventually disappear
Am not sure though if everyone has your kind of will power. Those kind of people could even try stopping gradually in a space one month until they quit completely

[carlisle1]

short time only and its normal for me to rest for a weeks or month ,mostly if i am too busy in life or if consecutive losing happens lol

for me gambling is really part of our life ,most specially us who's active online.the call of having fun is always there because we have vacant time from work or before sleeping at night,and even if we dont?finding time is really indeed for each of us lol.

[Maotezi]

It all depends on the person and the situation;
When I get it is hard to take a break from gambling,
then rarely who can stop, if they have a profit, only if they get big money.
The longest break I made was 6 months, at that time I was disappointed with the losses.

what would be the reason of that others who can quit forever?

i dont think theres such player or gambler that can totally leave the table like that,because most of us find this as fun place and why need for quitting?

anyway we have our own ways of treating this area and i truly believe that you are a gambler as you cant skip a day without playing.

[acroman08]

what would be the reason of that others who can quit forever?

one of the reason would be the negative impact gambling made on their lives.

i dont think theres such player or gambler that can totally leave the table like that,because most of us find this as fun place and why need for quitting?

there are such players/gamblers who can leave gambling with ease and never look back again. those gamblers are the casual gamblers(I am one of them).

because most of us find this as fun place and why need for quitting?

although it is entertaining and sometimes fun to gamble if it starts affecting your life in a negative way. quitting is the best way to do.

Actually there is but the reason would be not appealing for us to see where people do only quit when they already messed up their lives or shall we
say they f*cked up their finances before they do stop gambling completely. Addiction is really hard to stop but we should really be that discipline
to avoid such situation.Gambling is for entertainment and yes, anyone cant easily leave up the table but as a gambler we should really have
that kind of line where you do "call it a day".
