Lately I felt that I've been gambling a bit too much, it evolved into a weekly event where I would spend a little bit more money than I had originally planned for.
I've decided to take a break from gambling for a while, it's been 3 weeks since my last bet.

Just wanted to make this post in case someone else has any problems with this, spending more than intended, I mean.
You just kinda get into the habit without noticing at first, but you should really take immediate action when you do.

For me it was just a couple of hundred euros overspending, maybe for a month or so.
Taking a break was pretty easy, just replaced the gambling with a bit more gaming and writing articles.

Having a bit of extra cash now as well, always comes in handy

Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.

As of now I am not yet stopped gambling even for a day. But I see to it that I will never spend too much of what I intend to bet. what we need to do in order to avoid bug losses is to control our betting and don't get too hooked up in gambling.

If someone keeps doing a thing for a while then it will become a habit and that is what we call it as addiction when your mind has control over that habit you will be safe but if that begins to misbalance then it will be a problem for us.But you are doing good for now but better to keep break levels for gambling too to avoid addiction.

With what the OP said I believed he's already addicted to gambling cause the moment a gambler dont know when to stop, don't have strategy and gamble for loses. However, the best thing to do is taking a break and stay away from something which could attract him to gamble.
