Taking a break from gambling is always a good solution for every gambler especially if we are losing much money so we can think and decide to leave the game for a while and perhaps, we can come back in the other day. I also take a break for a while if I feel I am too seriously to play because sometimes, I can lose more money and I cannot enjoy the games.

LOt of people can't realize that they were losing more money than they are making from gambling that is why they keep playing again to win the money so we need to decide the limits for ourselves while gambling,I too play only at the break times not playing full time and take break from gambling. Grin

Setting limits and being strict to that point is really helpful to avoid losing a lot, gambling as a sort of entertaining is okay but too much engagement
will soon to ends up being addicted, taking a break would bring some breathing to your aggressiveness winning back your loses and will give some good insight if you are preparing to play again.

Anyway, taking a break is necessary in any case and not only at gambling, because if you continue to work, gamble etc. every day for several months, you will experience increased depression and mental emotions that are difficult to control. Therefore taking a break is really needed so that you can refresh your brain, mind, and also for your body. and when you will come back again after a few days of takin a break, then you can feel your lightness in doing activities as usual.

If I could easily take a break now, I will also be able to do that the next time. Better would be to just prevent myself from having to take a break at all, if I only gamble very sporadically in the future.

It would be the best way of dealing with gambling imo. I have come up with this approach to gambling recently and I enjoy it. It's not that it's too hard to do though, because according to various stats the vast majority of people who gamble from time to time are not gambling addicts. So we, you and me, are not heroes in this field, but rather average gamblers. And still I'm glad for you that you have managed to not become an addict, and I hope you are glad for me as well. Gambling is not a curse, but rather one of the ways to spend free time. And it is harmless and entertaining if you don't misuse it.

A very good approach indeed. It is not really that hard for those who are very much in control of themselves and are not really looking for something they should not be looking for in gambling. Being a gambler does not mean you should totally lose yourself, just like in the real world, when you feel you are overdoing somethings, you just take a step backward, try to identify your mistakes and then see how you can amend things.

People who tend to this often always make decisions such as the OPs' and it is really a good thing and would be a good thing if most gamblers imbibe this culture as that would make us see less of addicts.

I found this thread and the reason why I posted here is that I remember one fact, Bitsler was shut down for a while. For example when you gamble on one website and trust it and then suddenly it shut downs, you may not move on other website. If you act like this, then it's a great opportunity to have a break, if you continue to gamble then again when website returns, it's your job.

This is a good way to take a break from gambling, I tried this experience before. I was playing and gambling only in one gambling site which it's Directbet.eu, but it was closed in the summer of 2017 I think, when bitcoin price was hugely increased, In that time I took a long term break from gambling and currently am not addicted to gambling like I was before. I am just playing sometimes on another site.

Well sometimes i take a break just because as you said or im very tired on betting on the same game. Then you also need to change Casino to have a reset from previous one.

Same with mine too.I do take a break especially when i felt that i am overspending my time and money to some casinos which is not supposed to happen.I just make quality time with my family and friends since i have not been physically present in some of the family activities because i was focused more in gambling.

It is important for any person to spend time with family and relatives as gambling will not help you to maintain any relations ship but only this events or getting in touch with each other will help you to have a long lasting relations in this fast paced digital world. Gambling should be just for fun and not to make money.

If that is not supposed to happen then you might be addicted to some extent. You would want to prevent that from progressing it and thus refrain from gambling for some time. A short break from gambling often works out nicely to notice things that you might have left here and there and would need to work on.

True and being close to them only makes you feel good in case you had a bad time in gambling. Take note of when you are playing too much because it will only affect you in a bad way. Also find out other methods to keep up the pace and you will be able to prevent addiction to gambling.

Right but I think, if a person can taking a break from gambling, he/she could be able to quit forever too, because if you can do it for 1 or 2 months you can continue to do it for whole life if you want.

Every day life involves risks, its a normal part of decisions everyone has to take that there is also some risk or gamble in whatever people do. I dont see it going away exactly just like that, fair enough if its got out of hand then its good to continue to control your temptation on over gambling.

That's is mostly I don't go with the gambling investment. If l going for betting alone I may be consider gambling but that too go for the purpose of entertainment only.
Other that that I don't go with the gambling at all.
Since highly risk is involved On gambling we must be stay for sometime alone if you addicted.

gambling risk can also make you an addict and when you want to break you can't do that because your feelings want to continue to play gambling because you have become addicted, it is a risk that often happens to every gambling player, need self-control so you avoid that risk

It's quite hard for us to understand something if we have never been addicted, so while I think many of us can feel sorry for people who have gambling problems, it's always difficult to get in their shoes and feel their feelings. But we must always be aware of it, especially as gamblers, to see who among us have addictions. It's even more hard to see it in people who keep winning, but we never know they don't advertise their losses and only tell us when they win. In my experience, those who always tell you they win are the ones making losses time after time.

Be aware, and be kind and say something if you see it. Take your break, OP, and get happy again.

It is not really that hard to understand because judging from what we have heard, what we have seen with addicts over the years, we all know common sense would immediately tell anyone it is not a spot they really want to find themselves which is why the ability to control the impulse when it comes to gambling is what most smart gamblers always try as much as possible to imbibe before even starting out on their gambling journey.

For the OP to be able to take a break after realizing some certain things shows he is got the control and as far as I am concerned that is a good thing and like you said, he should enjoy himself doing so.

yes you should take a break from gambling if you feel not to play consistently anymore or just temporarily.

It is necessary because if you play continuously you will lose all your money and you will be mentally disturbed. It is better to quit gambling for some time. if you can quit gambling forever that will be much better but if not then you should avoid gambling for some time. by this way you will be fresh and will save some of your money. Try to engage yourself in some social welfare activities

Right but I think, if a person can taking a break from gambling, he/she could be able to quit forever too, because if you can do it for 1 or 2 months you can continue to do it for whole life if you want.

If the main point is to stop forever then we should not use the words "taking a break", better to use "STOP" only. Taking a break means we need to stay away from it for a while for a refreshment purpose then we can come back with fresh mind/condition. Taking a break in gambling is obviously needed no matter we are real gamblers or just vacational gamblers, no matter we have just got bad lose or big win. It help us to manage our emotion, and it is also a way for us to avoid what we call as "addiction".

Takin a break from gambling is of course the best way to do in order to avoid the times where your luck doesn't go with you. You may end up loosing all of ypur momey in just one snap. The descision of having a idea of taking a breark of gambling is a good one, mostly to the person that may affect by greediness and will end up bankrupt instead of earning a good on.e.

It's not only about the times that luck isn't with you anymore but its more of creating more space to make yourself productive for some other things. And with eternalgloom's position, he said that he's enjoying doing other stuffs rather than gambling.

And this is an assurance that he's aware of everything so no worries.

Certainly what everyone should think when it comes to gambling ?

I am sure every person at some point must have thought about something like this when it comes to gambling and depending on your pocket and how much you wish to throw away, but a lot of people always find it hard to control because of their greedy impulse.

It is more like taking a step back and reflecting on what you are doing wrong and certainly like you said, the OP saw that and he decided to caution himself and that to me is someone with the right mind to gambling because he is in control, not just like some that leave themselves vulnerable to being controlled by the impulse that comes with gambling.

No matter what your hobby or job is it's important to clear your mind and give it breaks. You can really burn yourself out focusing one thing for a long time. I used to have a heavy video game addiction and it was really affecting my mental and physical health. Anyways I think gambling is more fun when you don't do it everyday because it will give your dopamine receptors a break.

Do you say you quit or just take a break from gambling? Personally I think it is important, as the latter is a kind of a foot in the door, that it won't close and always let you come back.

Well, it's in the title of this thread and the original post, maybe read it before you reply?

Well, I did read the title and the OP.

Let me cite the OP again:

Quote from: eternalgloom on September 17, 2018, 07:16:33 AM

Lately I felt that I've been gambling a bit too much, it evolved into a weekly event where I would spend a little bit more money than I had originally planned for.
I've decided to take a break from gambling for a while, it's been 3 weeks since my last bet.

Just wanted to make this post in case someone else has any problems with this, spending more than intended, I mean.
You just kinda get into the habit without noticing at first, but you should really take immediate action when you do.

For me it was just a couple of hundred euros overspending, maybe for a month or so.
Quitting was pretty easy, just replaced the gambling with a bit more gaming and writing articles.

Having a bit of extra cash now as well, always comes in handy

Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.

If you need help to quit gambling:
https://www.helpguide.org/articles/addictions/gambling-addiction-and-problem-gambling.htm

I think you'll agree, that the intention (take a break or quit) is not that clear, as the OP and the title is contradictory at places. This is why I asked. There is no need to be impolite.

Okay okay, sorry that I was a little bit rude. I did not have to use the word 'quit' there the first time, will change that.
The link at the bottom is just for people who might need it. Just added that out of common courtesy for people who might realize that they might be getting addicted.

You did take the time to reply and I admit you have read the thread, so my sincere apologies to you.

Though, it was pretty clear from context that I was talking about taking a break. Plus, I added that link because someone mentioned it in a reply below.

Thank you for those words, and of course apologies accepted, I admit I have been checking your thread a few times already to check if I didn't unintentionally offend you some way again... Thanks again.
