Topic: how long you can stay without gambling? - page 4. (Read 3846 times)

I do gamble daily. I find enjoyment playing slots and poker but I do assure that I won't be losing that much because of such activity. I have experienced before losing huge amount of money because I was addicted into it. But gladly, I have appreciated the importance of the rewards and discounts which minimized my expenses in gambling. Also, I am not that eager to have huge meanings and as I have mentioned, am now just playing to kill time and not for profit.

Do you gamble daily? If yes, how are you not losing that much?

There isn't anything similar to the thread title that I can't stay active without gambling. I used to gamble when I've excess of amount after spending upon all my needs. I was under my control, so I can stand for much longer time period without gambling. It is all about the self need and we should not link it emotionally.

That is indeed true. Gambling addiction is what makes gambling, prohibited into some countries. Many people have lost millions, properties and even their lives from stressing out due to their losses. People should know what gambling really is, especially its main purpose. Gambling is meant to be an activity for entertainment. It should not be something which would cause you trouble. Well, maybe, we just can't blame those who became victims of such addiction. It is frustration which is they are battling with. As long as they are losing, they won't stop maybe because of their pride. What's on their mind is stopping once having the taste of victory. But once they have experienced winning for the first time, it would even push them more to gamble.
It will leave a mark that they are having a chance to win, and as such, they would exercise that chance more, in order to have more winnings. It does sound foolish but once you are in such scenario, it would really be a huge problem. I, myself, was almost caught up into it but good thing my fellow gamblers reminded me of taking a break because I am losing that much. And now, I am playing only for fun, without having stress whenever I am losing because I am no longer having thousands of losses. In short, I am now just gambling to kill time and not to win big time.

It depends on how much time you do have for gambling. To be honest, I was kind of addicted back in 2017 while now I have to spend my time with my new business and I can't spend time behind gambling. I can stay away from gambling for how much time I want.

I can stay away from gambling as long as I want because I control myself not gambling control my mind.
It's really important because we are better than other creature so we must prevent ourself not being fool by something stupid !

My longest was 3 months, and that is actually right now, when January hits I have stayed away from gambling for almost 4 months, its not that hard if you  can simply co trol yourself, there are quite some ways that will tempt me to gamble especially when gambling online because it is so convenient that you can easily gamble without even taking effort to play since you are gambling online you don't need to drive or walk onto the casino, though I controlled myself and just simply took my mind off of it by playing games and by simply taking time away from my phone and spending time with my family and friends, you can do it too! it's not that hard if you'll keep yourself productive on other stuff.

I can to forget about it tomorrow already and to not come back to that, to me it's just a way of wasting my time. But as I see by the town where I live there are a lot of people who are really addicted to gambling and do not wish to change it for spending a new year with family in friends. I mean all sport bets places will be opened no matter for holidays 31th and 1st. I know it from the first hands, my sis is working in one of gambling cafes.

Before When the time Im still an addict , I will not deny that I cant live a day without playing a gambling game. I literally play a minimum time of an hour just to play gambling until my money goes out. Its my bad habit before then. Im glad that I can live a week without playing gambling , ofcourse I play gambling until today but It is more of controlled.

It shows your love and passion about gambling it is very good to gamble in your free time as it saves your extra time in earning. I do remember when I was on vacation I have been playing day and night but then i start my studies so now i play only when I get free and trust me every time I win good amount which increases my interest in gambling.

When I was still hooked to gambling a couple of years ago, I always have the urge of playing every single day and could not stand without playing in few hours. I even bet with my phone, after playing with my laptop, during bed time.

Yes that's for sure and obvious.
It's a place where everyone gamble so you'll never receive negative feedback from them. And I agree and you're right that it depends on the place.

If people are self discipline in their life then their is no question that arises because they know their limits and can control them self even when they are losing will move away. It is for those who are greedy in life and want to make money from the gambling and keep playing and keep losing generally rather than winning. So such people cannot stay away form gambling.

It depends on where you are. Go to a casino and talk about gambling. None of the people you'll talk to will tell you about the negatives.
It can be addictive but so are other things. In the end it always comes down to your personal strength and resolve.

Fun? but in the first place you're going to casino because of money and not because of fun. That's why most are getting addicted. If you really want to stay away you shouldn't try it. If you are seeking for fun, there's an online games or go outside and hangout with your friend/families.

Gambling if done just for fun or to have the good time is fine but as soon as one start to earn money or consider it as a source of money this is where the real problem of the people will start and thus it is advisable to stay away else you can easily be addicted and lose out money, relationship, heath etc.

Discipline in gambling is difficult how long a gambler must live without gambling and its difficult but not as difficult as thought,gamblers who want to leave the arena must be quarantined but still difficult.Break my words if there is a heavy gambler who lives without gambling and surely he will gamble again unless he dies.I mean it's a heavy gambler who lives every second in the arena.
*edit
Gambling is a pleasure for a gambler.

You can remain addicted in gambling if you are bonding with your family. And you didn't answered the question on how long you stay without gambling.

It became a norm now when someone talks about gambling, they see the negative part of it.

Gambling is not a bad thing to do,so when a person starts gambling means he is bad and will get addicted to it.The reason for gambling addiction is the people who do it wrong intention will get addicted and also they will lose their wealth by continuous bets to make more money.SO when someone starts to gamble they really need to know why they are gambling.

Basically that a gambler has a bad nature. They have started something wrong and in the end they are addicted to being so active. It's slow that the life of the gambler will be destroyed. That is a difficult thing to avoid because at the beginning it was explained that everyone who decides to play gambling must be prepared to accept all the risks that occur. So don't ever try and save the future that we have !!!
