You treat gambling as a place for entertainment and you enjoy every minute of it, but your family tells you to stop gambling for a week and challenges you to check other platforms for the same level of enjoyment that you experience in gambling.

So what will it be for you?

Mine is having a long ride on my motorcycle I feel it's refreshing and enjoyable, especially when I take on zigzag roads.
I'm a responsible rider and advocate of safe riding and if I'm not gambling online I love to take a long ride I have the same enjoyment doing both.

The only other activity or platform where I am having at least the same amount of fun if not more is when I am building networks on the GNS3 network emulator.I like creating different labs there as I also teach some students CCNA classes and that is my favorite tool,of course this is after having fun and enjoying good moments with my family,then last but not least comes gambling where I enjoy slot machines even when I am losing the hell out of money there still the enjoyment of what to expect from the free spins or bonus round is huge.

You mean other things that you can do aside gambling.

You can have a vacation and go and refresh yourself in a new place and experience new things for the week, or you can go on a tour.

You can go and have fun with friends and drink alcohol and eat good foods together. There are places for that.

And have time for your family like take them on outing and have fun.

I have a lot actually. Just buying a good JRPG game on Steam is more than enough to probably last a week, maybe two if needed. Other than that I also like playing Tennis and doing marathon running (but rarely nowadays) which is pretty situational but can take a good chunk of the week if I purposely schedule it as such. Honestly having a lot of stuff to do (even if having less money to support it) is a really great thing since you're able to experience a lot of stuff and not get stuck on one thing. I imagine it'd be rather hard to get stuck with gambling, regardless of how much I like it for a few weeks continuously really.

Not really you can do aside from gambling but more on the level of enjoyment like you do in gambling, something that if you cannot gamble at least this something is what fulfills the same level of enjoyment in gambling if you think that all these things can give you the same level of enjoyment as you do in gambling then its good for you.

I created this as I have a friend who thinks that gambling is so different from all the other things that he experiences that he cannot think of another platform or do something that will equal gambling I like to prove to him that other gamblers can have something that has the same level of enjoyment as they experience in gambling.

It's really hard to feel the same kind of rush and happiness from other things than gambling. For me the excitment and entertainment from gambling is very close to the entertainment I get from gaming with friends. For many years I have been gaming all sorts of games, and especially strategy team games where you can make detailed plans and execute them together are awesome. Unfortunately, it's hard to find the time these days to sit down an evening with my friends and play our favourite games. With gambling it's much easier, I can do it on my own and just play for half an hour in the evening when I have the spare time. Life changes so fast and all my friends have their own families now, that most of my gaming these days is single player and the entertainment from it is not really that great.

Some people can be like this, but out of 100 among them that are not addicted to gambling, hardly will you see 20%. It is gambling addiction that will make someone to like gambling as fun than any other things. Becuase aside work, there are many things that you can have fun with if you do them. Although gambling is part of it, but they are numerous. Example is going on swimming or fishing with a hook.

Good question, I think answers in this thread will help other people to find an alternative way of enjoyment when they want to take a break from gambling. I get the same level of enjoyment from playing slots via free play money. I love slots that have captivating graphics and visuals with many features that includes free spins, jackpot section and some other bonus sections.
My another way of getting the same level of enjoyment is playing video games. Battlefield, Call Of Duty, FIFA and Assassin's Creed series are my favourite. Going to the pool, playing football, basketball and volleyball are my favourite activities too.

[Outhue]

There are other fun things I do that are way more entertaining to me than gambling, like watching movies, I am a big fan of Hollywood and South Korea movies, I spent most of my free times doing this than something else, especially with my partner, I am glad we both loves the same thing, apart from gambling.

I also like playing video games on consoles but movies takes most of my time than anything else, I am able to do all this now because things have change a lot in my life compare to before I get married, thanks to crypto and Bitcoin, I spent years on investment to have the kind of life I am living right now, it wasn't this east back then.

I like to gamble only if I have some money that I don't need, my responsibility always come first, gambling money most times don't make it back to me due to losses, but some fun and entertainment cost you nothing, it's your choice to choose which one you want to go with at a given time.

[Solosanz]

Playing video games, going out with my close friends, eat sweet foods, having sex, drink alcohol, take a vacation etc.

Usually thing that has a same level of enjoyment like gambling is something that can cause addiction, the only thing that must be avoided is drug because it's not easy to quit.

There are many things we can do just to find entertainment, sometimes not only in gambling places to get pleasure because everyone can get pleasure in their own way or look for other hobbies, there is no problem if my family asks me to stop gambling for a week just to be with my family, it's not a big challenge in my opinion because I can do it as a responsible gambler.

I can stop at any time as long as my family asks me to stop gambling for a moment and look for other fun, for example going on holiday with them, especially if I have a child and wife, it would be even better to go together just to look for new fun. that's why the joy of being a responsible gambler is knowing when to gamble and knowing when to stop gambling.

I think that your question should have been, what other type of recreation or game where you get the same level of enjoyment like in gambling. This is because I think that riding a bike is something physical and not game on a platform, except you're talking about a bike game.

Having clarified  that, for me what I love doing best for relaxation that goes beyond enjoyment for gambling is SINGING, in fact when I'm doing chores, working, relaxing and having fun, I always sing along. It's my number one hubby, at a point I thought that I was going to be a musician, but eventually it didn't happen. Old habit dies hard, and I always find myself singing most times, it's crazy, and i love it.

I nearly got addicted to axie infinity years back before it become less profitable later, I can't do without playing this game and because it's all about your skills I was in love with the game, this type of entertainment is better than relying completely on luck.

Sadly today, play to earn isn't as perfect as they way they should, problem have always plague their tokenomics but maybe in future there will be some better adjustment, this can easily take my mind off gambling completely or maybe I will move into gambling platforms with games based on how skilful you are, this is far more reliable to me than betting on pure luck.

This is why betting on sports is better than betting on Slots and other casino games, apart from the skill requirement of poker game which I still think that offline poker is better, there is no other casino games that come close to using skills.

[Natsuu]

There's a lot. You can try the nature activities like hiking or playing board games with friends, or taking up a new hobby like painting, photography, or playing a musical instrument. I also suggest virtual games but that should be the last option I think? I think you should try to get away from anything that relates to gambling especially online ads. It wont be easy but it doesnt mean that its not possible.

[traderethereum]

Maybe I'll take up the challenge and see what kind of fun I can have. If I could really get more pleasure than playing gambling, maybe I would stop gambling and choose another platform to have fun.
Someone who has frequently used one activity sometimes needs time to adapt to another activity because they feel that it is different from what they did before.
If it can provide entertainment, especially if you don't use too much money, maybe it is a good choice to start reducing gambling activities.
But for gamblers, maybe they will return to gambling again as usual because they still prefer gambling rather than using other platforms.

[bakasabo]

I think that OP idea of this topic was to name activities that we find as gambling substitution, or activities that will keep us busy from gambling and make our brain to switch from thinking about gambling. I know that to make a brain a relax, to take their mind off routine, people go to gym. People say that pumping iron gives them a real concentration and refreshes their mind. I think single visit or several visits wont have much of an effect, but visiting gym 3 times a week during months and years will have its effect. I havent tested that, but I prefer to go pool swimming on weekend. This routine helps to get rid of problems that were accumulated during week. Maybe this trick will work with gambling and addiction also.

Going to the gym, having a good sweat, regardless of what time and day. I think this is also what save others to be sane during the pandemic. So if we have some plates in the house or you have a mini-gym then instead of online gambling, just to and exercise at it releases dopamine, making you feel good just like the effects of gambling to some of us, specially if we have a good and big win. Or when we back to normal, just walk around the neighboring block, buy some watches that can measure how many steps you take (I usually target 10,000 per day), and the same effect as well, physically and mentally you go sweat and then comeback to home to do your daily routines.

Why will my family members tell me to stop gambling for a week, it doesn't make any sense to me, if you are asking me to stop gambling, then you should have a reason for that, and i don't think any of my family member will even ask me to take a break from gambling for 1 week. if you want me to stop gambling, then give me reason for that, but not even asking me to take break from gambling for 1 week.

So what will it be for you?

What I do whenever I don't gamble is watch football. Whenever I watch football, I always have the same relaxation I have with gambling, so that's one of the things I will do whenever I am asked to stay away from gambling for one week. Another thing that I know can replace gambling if am to stop gambling for one week is for me to be with my friends. If I am with my friends, I don't even think about gambling because we crack jokes and discuss about the past. If I am with my friends, I can stop gambling for as long as possible.

Movie marathon or playing online games with friends during weekends. This is my alternative source of entertainment whenever I’m abstaining on gambling while I’m still looking for a source of entertainment.

I believe anything that will make your mind busy for that particular moment is a good alternative on gambling because we are just seeking gambling because we have nothing to while earning money in fastest way provides an instant entertainment since everyone loves money.

Sometimes, we really need to distance ourselves from the world of gambling to prevent our losses from growing and chasing after defeats. At times, however, we still desire to continue gambling with the hope of increasing our winnings. There are many other activities I can engage in that provide the same level of enjoyment or even more than what I experience in gambling. Since I always face the monitor, I can take and enroll in online courses about web development, programming, and coding to enhance and refine my computer skills. Online gaming is also an option; I can play with my laptop and smartphone to connect with others and have fun. I enjoy listening to music to relax and can create playlists of my favorite songs as well.
