Quit as in just walking away - 2 times.
- First was like 3 years. Was 30 and had way more responsibilities than free time or money. Working 2 jobs with no rime to gamble.
- Second was after my dad passed. Just couldn’t do it anymore without thinking about him. Around 6.5 years before I started to again.
I’ve never been an addict to anything - but compulsion is a different thing. Could go weeks without placing a bet - but then go all out one night and stop again for a month easily. Fortunately since those days I got more educated on my endeavors and learned how to make profitable wagers and not just pure gambles.
