Well it would be good to have most gamblers think that way. It'll definitely lessen the harsh effects of excessive gambling that may very well lead to addiction. Though i think you're the kind if person who is mature enough do that.

Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.
I doubt most of us do really have that kind of experience where we do come to a point that we aren't already aware that we are spending already too much
more than on the amounts that we do usually limit ourselves.Ive been on that situation too and luckily I have noticed that I'm spending too much and it
do gradually affect my expenses which is already out of the path.When I realized then I do stop which cant really be easy if you are already addicted too much
but with a strong self discipline and control on ones self you can actually made it without any problems but if you do let your addiction control you then you do know
on what would be the consequences ahead.

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 Smiley

Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.
Quitting was very easy for you because you never expected so much from gambling anyway and the only reason you gamble is may be to just have some fun which was the reason channeling your focus into other more productive things became a lot easier. It is a good thing you noticed the over spending, as this is something that we sure know will be hard for an addict to understand and all they think with their head is to just keep gambling even if they have to sell all their properties.

This is a very inspiring story about quitting gambling and even starting to earn some money! You are saying it's easy, but I suppose it means that you weren't really addicted to it. From what I read an addicted person is often not even able to admit the presense of a problem. People are gamling because of lacking comfort or some intense emotions in their real life. Computer games seem like a good alternative, but I think that it can also lead to upleasant addiction, so take it easy. Doing sports might be a nice alternative to make one feel excited, while connecting with people can help with loneliness. I found this article very useful on this topic: https://www.helpguide.org/articles/addictions/gambling-addiction-and-problem-gambling.htm.
Let's hope we don't ever become addicted to gambling.
Good luck!

It is always good to take a break from anything you do which may not always turn out to be positive as you expect it. Gambling is one such thing where losses can actually make you mentally ill and spoil relationship if you get addicted to it.



Yep, taking a break from gambling is good especially when you already lose so much money on it. Take a break for a while, fresh your mind and comeback with the fresh and new start.

Take a break from gambling, yes it needs to be done. The mind also needs rest and entertainment, it would be bad if you continue to gamble in the condition of many minds. Take a break for a moment after our mind is refreshed please if you want to play again or you will stop playing, it's better. Smiley

 ^also curious like tokeweed. Like what games you play.

I think it is different with different people knowing that you have habits with gambling. Have you been positive with your profit? All throughout your gambling life?

I may not quit indefinitely, but probably a bit more than just a couple of months yeah.
Not having any issues with it, which probably means that I was not actually addicted or anything Tongue

It may also be more about the time I lost with it, than the money. Getting a lot more things done now it seems.

Curious what kind of games do you play.  Is it sports, ponies, dice, table games, poker, strip poker...?  Grin

Anyway, I get it.  And yeah, you should prolly take a break.  I was into online poker back in the day.  There were sessions when I played nonstop all thru the night...  Sometimes, it would continue into the day time, with me missing my classes.  Lol.

In addition to skills, feeling good and good luck gambling also requires a positive mood, preferably in gambling we must wait for a good mood, because emotional will tend to be stable and will also affect good feeling, do not force play when the mood is negative.

Good luck to your decision and I hope you won't be the same as others said before but later on after a month or two they come back in action.

Having another hobby which will make you put your attention and time there would solve it. Well my story, I just got my employment that really killed my time and only got few to no more time in gambling.
