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.
