Most other characters in the story would have been effected by the ring very quickly in that time. Also it seems to me like Sam was a bit more stable or reliable than frodo, unlike frodo sam knew what he wanted so not much could convince him to give that up even in favor of something that might have seemed better. Also i should note that sam was the only character besides bilbo to ever willingly give up the ring and unlike bilbo sam didn't need any help to do so. Frodo gave up the ring willingly; after having it for several weeks (in Rivendell). No he didn't, he put it on a table in front of some people but he never actually ended up giving it to anyone He tried to give it to Gandalf and Galadriel though
