Give yourself timeouts from gambling

Taking timeouts from gambling allows you to:

• have a break
• keep track of how much you are spending
• keep a clear mind so that you don't become overwhelmed
• make sure that you are not becoming dependent on gambling.

If you choose to take a timeout, you can block yourself from gambling for up to six weeks.
