How long was your longest break when you refrained from gambling altogether? I have been gambling for over 20 years, and my longest break lasted about a year. This was because I got a new and rather difficult job, so I had virtually no free time to gamble.

My longest break from poker lasted about two years. My longest break from other casino games lasted no more than six months.
 
My longest break lasted about three years. After a very serious loss, I promised myself I would never play again... I made a promise to myself that I didn't keep.

My longest break was about 10 years, only started again a year ago.
 
lol I started five years ago here 😛 and I have not shut up since 😛 (I have played the whole time while talking too)
 
my longest break from poker was probably a couple of months because my laptop was acting up.
 
I am not addicted to gambling and try to find various casino promotions (such as daily free spins or a promotion at 888, where you need to play at the casino every Thursday to get a ticket for a freeroll). Therefore, I can take a break for a year or two without any significant problems. 🙂
 
My break lasted for about 5 years, I had no problems and felt no addiction.
 
Casually playing for 2 years then stopped, not intending to look back again. After 13 years, stumbled to Cardschat & have not stopped playing poker again.
 
I went more than a year without playing poker. The main reason: work and dedication to my family.
 
I have never taken a break longer than a few months. And I have had several such breaks. For me, gambling is simply a part of my life.
 
I had several long breaks, each lasting about a year. But now I'm talking specifically about breaks from casino gambling and betting. In poker, my breaks were no longer than 2-3 months.
 
That’s impressive, R.Holynskyi! My longest break was about six months when life got busy. Taking breaks really helps reset focus.
 
My longest poker playing break was roughly 48 hours I think. After re-evaluating choises of my life, the truth set me free; I am a freeroller and will not change, I returned to tables.
 
One month to two months , that's the longest period of time that I decided to stop gambling and stay away from sports betting , poker or slots . I have done it many times . Yeah , some times you really need to take a break to control yourself or your tilt or your financial losses .
