The subject of stopping gambling is a complex one and should be treated with all level of seriousness because for anyone to stop gambling just like that it will be a hard task as gambling can be addictive some times especially when one has enjoyed winning on gambling it's not always easy to stop gambling because even if you try and stop it will be a matter of time that you are going to come back but I tried stopping to gamble due to the fact that I was actually on a losing streak for months but after few months I found myself back to gambling again as it it is not easy to stop gambling

I don't know when I thought about quitting gambling, because I only gamble when I want to, or in other words I can stop anytime.

Even if I intended to stop gambling, I think I could do it anytime and there is no time limit to determine how long I will stop again. Maybe it would be a different story if this was asked to someone else, because usually everyone is different.

Not an attempt to stop completely, but an attempt to take a pause and a break from gambling because I realized and recognized that I was gambling too much and putting myself at the danger of addiction. Such realizations are very important to call yourself back to order, especially when you are going out of control already.

Allow me to speak more general than only about gambling, but you will get my idea.

Years ago I was very much interested in MMORPG game. I think the game stole 2010-2012 years of my life. I think I was so addicted to game, that it has started to give me troubles at work and during studies. I have tried holding myself from playing, but my record was a month of abstinence. But then all of a sudden I have lost interest to the game. I have returned to it after few years, and managed to play only for few weeks. Now I have only a tiny interest to it (if I accidentally see a video, I would watch it to remember good old times). I think that experience taught me how dangerous addiction is, that is why gambling never manager to catch my attention heavily and force me to make pauses because it start to cause troubles.

Each time I loose I tell myself it's over, that I won't play anymore but unfortunately even if you uninstall your betting app you will still install and keep trying. I have made daring attempts, the most among all was 4months without gambling

I have gone on a break for three years when I was addicted and need to overcome it, because it was really frustrating my financial life. It wasn't easy though but with the help of my loved ones, I stopped gambling. I gamble occasionally and only do that for fun. Initially, I was gambling to win a fortune.

I have not deliberately attempted to stop betting but it's been a few months since I made any bet so I can top and if I want to I can stop for however I want to.

do you mean stop gambling addiction or just stop for the day? because i have stopped gambling for many times in a sense that i can play and stop and do something else with my life i am not constantly strapped to my chair to keep playing casino games and i usually stop when i have won already or when i have gone through my budget for the day or week

[libert19]

Not really. I was never addicted so never had to force myself to stop it. I just stopped doing it and felt no inclination to play it.

Those who gamble excessively must have thought about stopping gambling at some point. In most cases, such thoughts are temporary. Especially those gamblers who get bored after losing repeatedly, some of them say to stop gambling, but in reality, those gamblers can never say to stop gambling. In the beginning of my gambling, I lost from gambling but did not completely stop gambling. I took a break for a while. Although it was difficult to accept my losses in the beginning, over time I gained a better understanding of it and was able to adopt myself.

Hmmm. I gamble occasionally, i mean once in two weeks or three. Stopping it will not be too hard for me to do it, unlike those gamblers who do their gambling activity regularly, I mean at least once a day. The worst is if it takes so many hours than repeatedly in a day. So stopping it for them will be very hard.

When you actually have many losses in gambling, you will love to quit it. Quitting it is where the issue lies.

In the past, I have actually tried to stop gambling but it was to no avail. Until a friend told me how gambling can be easily followed to break free from it. It took me a month or so until I began to take gambling as what to do in someone's free time, not to take it as a means to earn some money.

The approach above really helped me a lot from gambling all the time

Honestly, I have made such attempts several times in my life to stop gambling and in some cases I have been successful. I don't remember and don't count the numbers or the days I was break out form gambling but it was a huge time.
And I also think that if I ever try to stop gambling I could done it more than one year or few years because I was not like that kinds of addicted persons.

I actually did stop after losing badly a game/sport we played and this was during my days as a student when money was also more scarce back then. As for how long, I cannot remember anymore but it's probably a couple of months
