I haven't gambled for last few weeks and I am completely fine.
Gambling is just a type of addiction which is quite hard to left until you are greedy and have dream of getting rich overnight. I don't have such dream now and only gamble for fun, so gambling is not more addiction for me.
Personally, gambling is an addiction that has been a problem to most individuals relatively. While your experience might be different, most people are having a hard time quitting from gambling due to their mindset that it may resolve their financial problems. Others find gambling as a form of leisure and as something that helps them unwind from their problems.
Luckily for me gambling is now a past thing I used be a passive gambler and always tried my very best to control but as always it seemed impossible , finally I decided to stop gambling but blocking most the gambling sites for few weeks
Now I don't want to earn a single penny from gambling
I am also on the same boat. When I started with gambling, I used to visit those websites daily. I realized that it was affecting my work very much and thus controlled this. Now I play occasionally depending on how much free time I have.
Hats-off to you for at least realizing that gambling may only make your problems worse. Though there is still that potential of you coming back, at least there exists this moderation towards your addiction in gambling that may mitigate your damages in the long run.
