Same with mine too.I do take a break especially when i felt that i am overspending my time and money to some casinos which is not supposed to happen.
If that is not supposed to happen then you might be addicted to some extent. You would want to prevent that from progressing it and thus refrain from gambling for some time. A short break from gambling often works out nicely to notice things that you might have left here and there and would need to work on.
I just make quality time with my family and friends since i have not been physically present in some of the family activities because i was focused more in gambling.
True and being close to them only makes you feel good in case you had a bad time in gambling. Take note of when you are playing too much because it will only affect you in a bad way. Also find out other methods to keep up the pace and you will be able to prevent addiction to gambling.
