Hi!

I'm not 100% sure about the term Gamble Free? In my personal opinion it feels like using Gamble free in a sentence means a hiatus period of not gambling but not completely stopping? I much prefer the term 'I've stopped gambling'.

It's only words. I stopped gambling in June 2020 so am over 3 years free of this horrible addiction, gamble free

@bladesman 

I agree, it's only words. I also use this term too. However I just thik it's an interesting observation that we never say I've stopped gambling', which to me feels like the end. I'm not criticising the term, I just wish I could say I've stopped.
