One year temporal vacation towards gambling could reduce addiction?

[Nightwalker(NW)]

I have come to understand that many people do take option of self-exclusion from some of the gambling site due to their much engagement in gambling which is making them to lose control or even falling victim to gambling addiction that is when you will see them doing that. But I have been thinking instead of people to entirely go on self-exclusion why not they focused on given a 1 year gap from gambling at least this could help to reduce how engaged they could be while gambling and it will also lessened your attention and desire to make specific amount from gambling.

Is this option better?

Its a good point, but its easier said than done, as many gamblers are too addicted to the game, as they can't easily let go or  self-exclusion themselves  for a day, talk more of a year. Its only people who are responsible and discipline will be able to main that long term without gambling, because they know that gambling is not giving or adding any thing useful to their lives, and they know stepping away will be the best decision they made, as they won't have to battle themselves emotionally and financially.

One year is too long for me and anyone that stays one full year without gambling may likely be on his way out of gambling. There are things I stayed away from for more that a year and during those times I lost the passion and that made me stop completely. I don't know how big the addiction would be that will require one year abstinence but for me, whenever I see myself developing bad gambling attitudes, taking a week or two weeks off from gambling is enough to put me back on tracks.

Some gamblers do not even need close to a year's gap to be able to establish control over gambling again; just a few days and, for others, a few weeks away from gambling can do the magic.

After staying away from gambling to gain control, be careful when you start gambling again because it is still possible for you to even become more addicted than before.

Sure, one year is way too much for me; 5 months should be enough although it all depends on gamblers and one thing about addiction is that if your mind is not made up to stop it even though you go on 2 years vacation after the vacation you will still get tempted I'm speaking from experience. There's this friend of mine that decided to go on a vacation in gambling just for 5 months though he was strong enough to hold himself until  that day, and when the vacation ended he stayed for more two weeks the following week he got tempted, then I thought he could resist it but he couldn't. Right now as I speak he's back to the game, so before going on a gambling vacation we need to be sure that we want to stop it.

One year is too much a time if you ask my opinion, because such a gambler would definitely outgrow that pressing desire to gamble and instead channel the resources to something better and more profitable.
A few weeks or few months is okay, but this might not really be an easy feat to accomplish mostly when one finds themselves among people who frequently gamble and can't stop talking about it at every chance they get.

If you have money in your pocket, and bank or wallet.

You can saved it, while those money are freely to be sent. Then....... no matter whats is the option you choose to reduce the addiction is gonna to be work. No one is guarentee, but every way to reduce some addiction can be tried.

First you can tried ask somehow to manage your money, then 2-3 month tried ask them to send some money to you and you use those as test. Just make the money sitting in your wallet/bank and see is gonna to be used for gambling or not.

Of course if someone would be that able to spends years without getting tempted to gamble they can as well wait months and years allowing money to rest on their account, the fact is that gambling is somehow uncontrollable because when you the fun starts carrying away the person they wouldn't know when they might have mistakenly send money to their gambling account just to make sure they didn't missed the opportunity they had as a gambler because they often believed that the money they gamble the luckier they have the chances of winning while gambling.

That's because it's hard to control that. Even if we take it as a vacation, who goes to that vacation for 1 year?
We're all workers here and have got a job to work or a business to manage and that's why going out for a vacation for a year looks great but only the very few can do it.
Well, that's a good idea but it's not doable by the majority of us. Might just go away from any gambling site for a couple of weeks, to a month and so on.
Take that period a little by little because that's easier than to go with that goal of a year of gambling abstinence because who knows if we can do that or not.
Because even you have the willingness and will power to do that, it's a long period of test and we'll praise who will be able to do that.

This option is definitely good if casinos offer it but you have to also understand that gambling addiction is of different levels, and there is a level gambling addiction will get to, there only way to actually have the best chance of succeeding to go for an outright exclusion from the casino..

I understand that a gambler excluding himself from one casino doesn't not mean he or she has excluded him or herself from the rest of other casinos, this is why it will take being absolutely disciplined and determined to actually succeed in this type of quest of trying to over come gambling addiction.

But on the other hand as well, it is often said that preventing something from happening is better then trying to cure it when it has happened, we can still do all we can to prevent from ourself from gambling addiction, this is way better than finding ways to overcome addiction.

[Botnake]

It could work for some, but majority will find it easier said than done. Because gambling games are really tempting and exciting, most especially if you have certain sport skills that will make you more profitable with sports betting. But if we are to be honest, we don't have to take a pause that long just to avoid falling into gambling addiction. We just have to be more responsible and discipline towards bankroll management, and be more in control of our emotions.

There are no guaranteed outcomes when gambling, and that's why it becomes more challenging on our part. Not to make us get-rich-quick, but to beat the odds that not all gamblers are capable enough.

At first, containing your desires in gambling is quite hard but once you overcome such desire, you will realize that it is worth the sacrifice. So yes, taking a vacation will give you some personal assessments for yourself.

[boyptc]

You are free to do as much as you can and do everything you have to do just for you to get out of that addiction.

If someone is going to do this, I am in support of you and will cheer for you to do that. I think whether it's long period or not, it doesn't matter.

Because for me, what matters is if it will work for you and you're trying your best to help yourself and get better to avoid gambling at all cost.

[Crypto_Timothy]

Self exclusion and just taking a temporary break in a way they are similar or perhaps just the same thing in this context. Both involve creating some form of distance between yourself and gambling, especially when you notice it beginning to affect your emotions, or your finances or decision making. The main idea behind both is giving yourself enough space to regain control, think clearly and avoid acting impulsively in the moment. The difference though may mostly come down to structure and commitment, like a temporary break can be personal and informal, while self exclusion is usually more intentional with stricter limits involved.

Options need to be weighed, one year can be much for some, while it may also be a short span for other gamblers trying to protect their gambling urge. My own share of advice is to do whatever works, as long as the aim is to manage gambling habits, I don't care about the duration it will take, gambling should always remain a safe form of entertainment.

[Russlenat]

I thought it would be to stop gambling for good, as coming back to gamble again after a year seems too long. But if the only goal is just to reduce addiction, the gambler might not need to take a break for a year. Even a week or month will make it happen, because its not the length of breaktime that will solve the problem here, but its the behavior and attitude towards gambling that should be given best consideration here.

If you don't practice proper gambling management, you will always be prone to gambling addiction, regardless of how many time you take a break. Its not the length of vacation that counts, its how you apply risk management and discipline when temptations are high in gambling.

[Makus]

It's not just about taking a vacation, Even without doing that you can still make noticeable improvements if you put in enough efforts to quit gambling addiction and One easy way is to restrict or set limits and also try to maintain this, if possible make sure that you practice moderate gambling. A gambler can decide to go on a temporal vacation and still end up losing a Lot In the long run, this is because they don't really have boundaries. If you go about it the right way then there's nothing you should be worried about if you gamble moderately.

[stadus]

Do not be confident that after a year of break, the gambler is no longer prone to addiction. In fact, he might be missing so much of it that he will jump into gambling and lose a huge amount instantly, and that made him even more prone to higher risk of addiction.

Gambling addiction will not be given solution in an abrupt way, but more of a slowly but consistent method that can gradually get you rid of addiction. So if your goal is to lessen the addiction, adjust your betting limits first, and minimize accessing gambling sites, until it will be okay for you to bet once a week, once a month, until you're no longer feeling an urge to gamble again.

[Johnlomape]

Taking a one year break is a sign that the gambler does not have the interest to gamble again because that is too long for a break.
Maybe that could be understandable for a gamblers that have been dealing with addiction and the only way to kill all the addiction is to forget about gambling for a whole year.  This can be very difficult at first but with discipline, it will not be a problem anymore when two months are gone. The easiest way to leave the addiction of gambling is to quit and never to come back and gamble again because if not done like that, any attempt to try to gamble again can I ignite the urge to continue gambling.

If anyone who's battling gambling addiction is being able to stage a walk away from it for what could be regarded as a long time away then my candid advise is that they should never return to it again. There's simply no need return, they should just find something else out there that really takes their time and adding meaning to because just as you have mentioned it's really hard to take the action of quitting than just saying it.
