Platforms Where You Get The Same Level Of Enjoyment Like You Do In Gambling

[beerlover]

Well, it's a good thing that you are devoting your attention to something like a habit to avoid gambling. It's a good practice and also a good indication that you guys who choose to do other things than play gambling and waste money only show that you have self-control and self-awareness.

For me, gambling is only a hobby. I once experienced being addicted, but it didn't last long as I diverted my attention to something else, something like earning money or something that would entertain me, like playing games or watching movies. In short, I balance my hobbies, including gambling. I always keep in mind that I should not overdo any of my hobbies, especially gambling, so you don't have to stop it completely if you can't or you are really fond of gambling; you just have to balance it and also limit your spending; spend only the money that you can afford to lose.

"Like a habit ". But I think gambling can also be a habit. It only depends on the person though if their gambling habit is bad or good. If it is bad, obviously we should quit on it and find something else better. Most of us still has a self-control and awareness. It's just that it works hard on some other things. Anyways, it was great to know that you have overcome your gambling problem. And thanks for dropping a good tip there.

I agree that stopping it is completely hard and painful. This is why I kept on re-enabling my browser and installing my apps again, but this time I am trying hard to control myself. I make sure to allocate more time and money now on more important things.

It can also be a Habit and we know that but due to it's negative effect to some person that's why I prefer to call it as an obsession, most especially that it requires monetary value to go along with other players. You're right, It's quite difficult to overcome this obsession to the point that you need to seek medical help and worst case is being in a rehabilitation and If you know how to control yourself and you are aware of what will be the affect of this to you, then you are indeed a responsible gambler.

Going out, doing something that you've never done before like nature tripping, hiking and any other activities that's going to make you tired all day long. But if I just want to take sometime and then get the same level of enjoyment, is anyone find taking a rest is enjoyable as in doing nothing and you're just all over the social media watching all of those shits that are posted there all day long? All day lying on the bed without doing anything at all. I find it sometimes enjoyable and it's the same level or even more than the fun that I can find with gambling. I just remember the famous song of Bruno Mars' The Lazy Song.  

I believe I will have the same activity as yours. Traveling and exploring areas that you've never been out of.
This for me will give enjoyment and relaxation of mind. Explore the nature and you will find out that you will be refreshed.
Should rest from all social media channels and as much as possible be off grid so you won't think of outside stresses.
Detoxifying from the use of social media I think is a very good chance of detaching yourself from others, hence, anxiety, depression and other negative emotions might go away.

To be fair, social media addiction gets way too much hate than it should. I don't understand how it's even addiction because for me it's more like a boredom killer. If you have something useful to do, you won't bother with social media and if you don't have something good to do, I don't see a problem killing some time on social media.

Gambling is a problem because you are losing money and control over your finances. Usually surrounding yourself with people will help because when you are around friends, family, or even professionals, you won't gamble. In fact, this works for most addictions that exist.

So what will it be for you?

I play sports but the problem is that during the night hours, I get free time and gamble. I am not addicted by any means but that said, I do want to get rid of it.

Now I try to sleep a bit earlier to avoid getting into the same cycle and keep myself busy and it works until it doesn't. Btw, refreshing to see people sharing their thoughts and hobbies because there are some good ideas to engage myself in and postpone gambling.

Late-night Netflix was leading up to gambling for me, so I have distanced myself from it now.

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.

Ill stick to the things on which i do prefer of course. lol

There might be some recommendations neither from my family or with my friends or other people but still i wouldnt really be leaving out on a place on which i do prefer
but if i do see something which is interesting then i might reconsider with those suggestions but if i do see there's no difference and i do still prefer the old
then i would be sticking for a while and might be transferring into place if ever i do see something interesting aside from the current that im dealing with.
So it would be always matter on someones preference.

Well, actually, I don't quite get the essence of the contents of the thread you conveyed, especially the second point. but okay, I will interpret it if you have two habits that you can be responsible for. On the one hand, you are a motorbike enthusiast and on the other hand you are a gambling enthusiast. However, you are still responsible for the two hobbies you enjoy.

Now let's focus on the real point, according to the title of this thread. if I were you, or say I was in your position. The first thing I will ask is, what are the benefits for me if the challenges actually have something in common? Well, so this is the point I mean from the essence of the thread you described. Actually, I don't really understand it and I'm sorry about that. however, if I were given such a challenge. without needing to think at length. Most likely, I will reject it. After all, what should we look for if we are comfortable in our favorite casino? moreover, the challenge offers the same thing. In essence, there is nothing more interesting to make me follow the challenge. So, that's how it is from my point of view.
