It's very common for gamblers to say they have quit gambling after some terrible experience. Personally I have taken the decision to quit gambling times without number.
But after few weeks and in some serious cases two months the already uninstalled apps are reinstalled and gambling is continued from where I stopped.
It's very difficult to quit ynot just because it's addictive but before of the quest to make one.
Can you say you have quit gambling after a month of not staking?

Can you say you have quit gambling after a month of not staking?
One month is not enough; there is no specific date actually, You can say that you have quit gambling if you stop allocating part of your salary and you have not thought of gambling or have replaced it without some new hobby, Unless you ignore or have not place a time or money in gambling you can say that you have quit gambling, but only months of this practice that you can safely say that you quit for good.

For a regular gambler, it will become so hard for it to stop because it can be addictive. The excitement of winning and the fear of losing can make it hard to walk away. May you have the strength to stop gambling before it messes with your self control because the negative effects are no joke.

installing back the app and gamble again means you have not quit. you're just taking a break.
you know very well that if you quit it means no gambling forever and if you do, it could be just because your friends are with you and its just you and friends having fun. as for non gambling addict, they could just quit any time. they are just doing it all for the fun in trying to figure out who wins in a sports match.
if i am an addict and would like to quit, i would consider myself to have quit successfully is when i have shit my energy to something else like a business of my own like bakeshop.

They say a new habit is formed every 21 days, so if it is within your plan to quit gambling and you have been able to achieve it for 21 days, you can applaud yourself, but know that that is not the end; it in fact is the beginning because now you have to work on your triggers to make sure that you do not relapse.

Can you say you have quit gambling after a month of not staking?
Yeah I can say that I already and fully quit gambling, it's been a long time since I did not place any bets especially lottery and combat sports betting against my neighbors. I quit being an agent of an online casino maybe that was a couple of years ago if I am not wrong. I don't have plans to go right back into gambling because I want to focus on crypto trading and investment.

In reality, you will never feel satisfied even though you win huge money, it's a habit and if we want to stop then we should stop and when it's not possible to do then it's called the addiction stage which needs rehabilitation to complete get it off our system. But I am insisting again, one can stop when they really want to there is no shortcut for that.

Not sure what you mean by 'staking' here but on quitting — If you refrain from doing gambling stuff, you have quit. If you relapse, you have failed, time doesn't matter.

He's actually talking about placing bets - are you new to the word "staking" in gambling or you're only used to the word "staking" in crypto. ;D
Uninstalling, deleting gambling apps and not playing certain X number of days is not quitting, you just layed off for some time, quitting is having all the necessary apps, money and yet not having the urge to gamble. Quitting gambling is more of a willpower.

There are many people who were addicted to gambling and at some point they were able to quit gambling. Similarly, there are many people who could not quit gambling. It will completely depend on the wish and determination of a person. If someone wants to quit from their heart, then he will definitely be able to quit gambling. But there are some gamblers who want to quit but cannot control their greed due to which they face an embarrassing situation.

It will be very difficult for someone who has been gambling to just stop gambling just like that yes in some cases where someone has experienced a huge lost from gambling people can because of the loss and mental breakdown say things irrationally by saying that they have quited from gambling but the fact is that it's just a matter of times that gambler's go back
Leaving gambling is not just by saying it but it's by making conscious efforts and step to make sure that they leave gambling and that will take time not just by saying it

Why is this so complicated?
You quit gambling the moment you stop betting, and the moment you place another bet you relapse, simple as that.
The moment you fail to restrain yourself fr putting up a bet is the moment you realize you failed to quit, one week one month 6 months, you still haven't quit you just managed to take a break but you're back gambling.

It's complicated cause most people can't differential between "quit and stop"! Stop placing bet/ gambling so time and relapse again isn't quitting at all. When someone quits a habit, they quit for good and do not relapse. Personally, I've stopped betting for several weeks for reasons best known to me, but I'm still completely hooked to gambling and haven't quit.

Quitting gambling is not easy to achieve but there are steps a gambler would take before it is possible to quit gambling.
Some of the steps are: seek support from a friend or therapist.
- Get busy, occupy your mind with some other things.
- Have a change of location or delete your bet account.
- find an alternative activity that would take more of your time
-
I don't think there is any need for such a step unless you can maintain your self control. If you cross your limit while gambling then you definitely need to take a break immediately.
I think you should go on that way make an different strategy for your gambling like you should separate your gambling fund from your income like you can have <5% of your income for your gambling. And I also think that will not going to hamper in your financial.

A month is a very little time for me to say that i have quit gambling. Even a year is not enough for me because our decision could change in an instant then stake again. The only time that i could say that i stopped gambling is when we are nearing the end of our life and not gamble on that time.

This made me laugh because the majority of my friends gamble, and my closest therapist is also a gambler. It is extremely difficult to find a non-gambler nowadays. There is a funny story about a therapist who was helping gamblers cope with addiction but became addicted to gambling and was unable to follow his instructions.
This merely illustrates the difficulty of quitting gambling. What we frequently see are people who claim to quit when they are losing money or do not have enough money to gamble, but as soon as they have money, they check for available games and install apps again to continue their gambling journey.

Re: At what point can you say you have quit gambling?
One month isn't enough, and with how online gambling are being promoted in different social media platforms, it's easy for a person to get hooked again and gamble yet again.
What point? Hmmm, maybe if there's something bad, really bad that happened and it affected my life in the worst possible way. That would be the time where I will say that "I will stop gambling already and focus on more important things." Sometimes, what you only need is one thing that will affect your life either positively or negatively in order for you to say, "It's time to quit." Unfortunately, there are some who will continue to gamble despite experiencing some negative things.
It is extremely difficult to find a non-gambler nowadays.
It really is. Finding a non-gambler that's exposed into different social media platforms is hard to find. I guess what we will find would be people who can control themselves when they gamble. :)

Some people mistake taking a break from gambling to be quitting. Someone once said “once a gambler is always a gambler” well I don’t know how true this statement is as it totally depends on the individual involved, but for most gamblers, I find it to be actually true because quitting gambling when you’re already an active gamblers isn’t just as easy as learning how to gamble, you may be able to take a short or long break but that doesn’t really mean that you’ve actually quit.
-
Can you say you have quit gambling after a month of not staking?
I have quitted gambling over and over again, and that's the reaaon why I could gamble responsible. I got addicted some years back but came out of addiction after I quitted gambling. Sometimes, I go on a very long break to put myself into proper check. It's when you are not considering your gambling activities and check your gambling state is when you will feel it is useless to quit because you're after profit.

It will be really hard for for real gambling addicts to call it a quite when it comes to gambling because when it comes to gambling it's really complicated as the huge for making profit is the only compelling reason that people continue gambling so it will take divine intervention for anyone who is a core gambler to call it a quite when it comes to gambling
I think the only thing that can help is self control in gambling there should be more more emphasis on regulating the way one engage in gambling especially putting a limit with the amount of money that one can actually gamble with

There's a max stake and max deposit on every gambling platform to prevent someone going above some certain amounts and there's also a self- exclusion feature that allows you to give yourself sometime off. Gambling platforms are pushing really hard to making sure no one is addicted and everyone is playing responsibly.

Gambling is addictive, and has led many into debts, homeless, and other big challenges. Whereas it is difficult to stop gambling, especially where one is addicted to it. But we must know that change in human behavior is inevitable, and one can gradually quit from Gambling. This is possible where one has stopped the process of funding any betting applications he has connections with. A quality called self control is also required. At that point one can say he has stopped gambling.

The only way to break the gambling habit is to work it hard and get proper assistance. The first step we can take is to acknowledge that such habits just have repeatable patterns that make it almost impossible to quit. From there we can proceed to other steps to find ways how to distract ourselves to more enjoyable pursuits. Supporter communities sometimes help or talking to friends and family do as well. It is okay to get help if the process calls for it because this process does not have to be done individually. If there is one thing that is evident in the society today it is this; any change that is considered big will take its time and require massive effort but all is not lost if the change aimed at is desirable. Above all, learn to value every single advancement we achieve on the journey that we are on.

If we're talking about addiction, I tend to believe there's no way to quit completely unless you can stop yourself from gambling (depending on what your addiction is) until you die. I think relapse is the word for behavior like this. I think someone has mentioned this above. CMIIW.
There is a difference between gambling addicts and those who gamble for entertainment. I think those who gamble once in a while aren't in the same category, so there's no need for them to be paranoid if they have the urge to participate in a lottery once in a while. Moving to another environment where your behavior changes significantly (such as being closely monitored) might also help, but I don't think people love to lose their freedom for that.

Please kindly explain further on the difference between quit and stop because in my own thinking they mean one and the same thing. I will patiently wait for your response

of course not lol to me quitting is completely disengaging with the activity if after one month and you went back then that is not quitting because you just relapsed and went back to your habit of gambling
instead of calling it quitting i would say to just call it a break it seems a lot more acceptable and realistically possible since you do not seem to be able to stop yourself after only just a month without gambling if you are not to quit permanently then just say you are taking a break

People mistake a break for quitting. Most gamblers take a break when they feel broke or have lost a significant amount of money. I don't know why it is difficult to quit gambling. Countless times gamblers proclaim that they are not gambling again and days or months later you see them gambling. I don't think it is possible for anybody who has tasted winning in gambling to quit gambling. I have not seen such a gambler.
What I see often are break takers or passive gamblers and this happens only when there is a shift in their way of thinking. Personally, the way I was gambling when I felt that I could become wealthy through gambling and the way I gamble now that I have thus self conviction that gambling offers nothing is different. I can easily take breaks and focus on other productive things now and it has now become very easy too to control my stakes and time in gambling.

I think you have the right words, break takers and passive gamblers. Gambling addiction is not a tea party to overcome.

due to my experience gambling is very difficult to stop,the moment you have no money what comes to your mind is to quit,but the moment money comes you will involve back in gambling,gamble is just like drugs the moment you are addicted is very difficult to stop.
-
I don't think for now i have anything that can push me to the point of quitting for gambling, after I've been doing it quite a while and know my instinct in it, talking form the other side, i may not be able to predict accurately on what the future may gives, nature may change or have effect on us in such a way even beyond our own intention, but nevertheless, i still see myself always been a gambler no matter how tough it may appear in terms the situation am facing.

I think that when these things happen it is because the addiction is already in a very advanced state and that is something that must be stopped no matter what, that is why the person who is like this must talk, must tell someone about their problem so that somehow they can find a treatment, or talk, or something like that, the idea is that the person realizes that they are not alone, and that there are many probabilities that they will be cured of such an illness and when something like this happens it is dangerous because the person prefers not to eat just to play and that is already something serious.

"Stop" is a temporary pause in gambling activities; anyone can stop for a while and then resume, whereas "Quit" is a permanent decision to discontinue gambling activities and never return to them again.
The app's installation and uninstallation actions were simply "stop" measures; you never quit.
Stop and quit are often used interchangeably but they're not the same.

Quitting gambling is an individual thing that varies from person to person. There are some people who can overcome gambling in a month or more than a month. Whichever one, it's worth to celebrate the milestones of quitting gambling no matter how small it may seem, it's not an easy job for one who's gambler addict to quit gambling in a month. It's gradually they will find themselves working towards having a long term of recovery from gambling
