share your experience on the last gambling break you took.

[Igebotz]

I have been on a break for a while and I just do self-improvement stuff and also also reading a lot of books. I have read a lot over the past few weeks and it has helped me improve myself a lot. I also took courses while keeping myself occupied for most of the time so these are the stuff that I do religiously now.

This is a nice routine. Aside from gambling, reading self-improvement books is always beneficial. Reading is always part of my weekly schedule. I do not read every day, but I make an effort to read and learn something new each week. This is a lifestyle that has been unaffected by gambling. What I mean is that I do not need to take a gambling break before reading a book.

This has helped me maintain a positive attitude toward gambling. Since I was taught the value of moderation, the knowledge I have gained from the majority of the books I have read so far has allowed me to control my gambling urges and gamble responsibly.

When was the last time you stopped gambling for a while? That is, you took a gambling break?

it has been a few years back when i lost a couple of money it took some determination and real dedication to take myself away from gambling especially after i saw how fast it can double or even triple my money

but i had to stop since i saw also how fast it can make you lose your money

What was your experience like, and what activities did you use as a replacement for gambling?

going outside and getting some exercise was really helpful it was entertaining enough but still beneficial not only to your physical fitness but also to your mental health as well

I personally can stop gambling at any time, more specifically when I don't have any more money to use for gambling. I won't force myself when I don't have money that I'm free to use.

There are many things I can do when I'm not gambling, because that's what I usually do. If I usually use my free time for gambling, then I will use that time for any activity, including hanging out more with my family, especially playing with my younger siblings.

We are people who have to have priorities, hierarchies and a lot of moderation when choosing who or what are our greatest priorities in life, family, children, friends, and putting all that before the game, I consider that it is the most problematic and what must be endured the most, of the rest those people who put the game above themselves, for me they have a mental deficit, and they quickly need to see a psychologist to realize what is happening and what attitude must change quickly.

Yes we definitely have real life that we can do to pass the time, and again I said I only use my free time to gamble. So when I don't gamble it doesn't become a problem at all.

We definitely have priorities in life, and the status of gambling in my life is tertiary and that is in the order that there are still many above it. so I have many options to do other than gambling. It is very problematic when gambling is a basic need in life.

From my experience taking a break from gambling can clear the mind and actually make you focus more on yourself and your goals, in my opinion there are actually no activities that can easily replace that addiction because there are things that can easily trigger that urge to gamble whether you try to distract your mind or not, The only thing that works is making a conscious decision not to go back to it no matter what

Actually I am not that kind of addicted gambler but yes had a worst experience on gambling a long time ago that big loss taught me how to do gambling to not crossed the afford limit I feel like that was good for me I take lession how to do gambling with responsibility. That time I did take break from gambling and put my self to hanging out with friend and when free at home alone I play video games for passing my leisure period.
And for now I am doing gambling it is in normal way and if I go like this I can do gambling with out taking break.

Probably everyone has had a bad experience in gambling, but it affected everyone differently. I was very disappointed in slots, after 15 unsuccessful spins. And after that I realized that it was not my day, and it is better if I play in a casino, then only in more controlled games.

Recently, I played a virtual football game and lost 10,000 Naira. I had only one chance left to play, and luckily, I won 15,000 Naira. Instead of pausing to solve the challenge that prompted me to gamble, I kept gambling and lost 15,000 Naira. This is something I have always tried to avoid, but I gave in. Thus, as long as you gamble, you will continue to have bad experiences.

This kind of situation can often happen to those who are gamblers. When I myself got gambling wins, my interest in gambling increased. I thought at the time that maybe I could win more. That day might be a special day for me to win because of such thoughts that at some point when I lost I regretted why I didn't control myself there. Why I bet to win more? But at the end of the day such questions have no basis. Constraints in Gambling To myself, if I can't remove myself from the emotional space, then I have to accept my loss.

There are many other things you can replace with your gambling time. I stopped my gambling activities a week ago, and now I spend more time with my friends and enjoy some quality time. I can also play some games, which help me to come out of the gambling world.

It is not easy to leave gambling or take a break, but you have to make some serious decisions and promises. However, this will not be fully effective; for full effectiveness, you have to dedicate that gambling time to other activities. This will engage you in those activities and help you replace or break free from gambling. Remember, gambling is not inherently bad, but the issue lies in how you approach it.

Congratulation on your win.  And I am seeing that it is not huge amount 10000 naira in dollar is about 6.28 and 15000 naira is about the 9.42 dollar.
If you chase the loss then may it work for you in this time and I am seeing the amount of losses wasn't much on my afford zone and you are are chasing the losses in your limit of afford to loss then I think there is no worries to think .
But if you are crossing your limit and chase the loss to recover everytime then I think there is think to be worry and need a break for you.

As a person who has not played gambling for a long time, I can understand why it is so difficult to get rid of the habit of being in gambling, be it a casino or betting or something else. The thing is that gambling is interesting because here and now they can change the fate of the gambler with a big win. And every such gambler believes that around the next turn, changes for the better await him.

I took a break from gambling years ago, and that break is still ongoing. Honestly, I don't miss it at all.

I didn't need any replacement activities because this break was more due to being fed up of gambling.

And most of the people I see are those who can't control their gambling habits because they expect too much, and that's what makes it difficult for them to finally get out, at least take a break from gambling.

I have an acquaintance because I like to hang out with the same people, even though we're not very close. Every time he's going to gamble, then every time he says something that smells of very high expectations. Actually, that's not wrong, because I also sometimes hope like that, but the problem is that his expectations are too high in games that are based on luck.

There is a proverb that is "Greed leads to sin and sin to death".
Most of the time it is seen that greed is found in those who cannot control their mind. Sometimes it is to win a lot of money by betting to win more money and sometimes it is to invest a money which is lost in the bet to recover that loss in profit or loss. Repeated investment of money but later it is seen that the amount of his loss has increased.
And to be honest, the number of such gamblers is more in the world of gambling. I think gambling is not bad until a man can't control himself and bets beyond what he can afford to lose.
