Better shift focus on something else. Something interesting yet beneficial and not too risky. Well, we all know gambling addiction is like a cancer eating us slowly slowly until we are left dead. Dead in terms of finances, focus and right point of view. This feeling that we get whenever we are losing drives us to be more crazy. Good for you then for making that decision.
If you think you're already addict in gambling, better to have some break and enjoy your life outside that world. Gambling is really not good to anyone, whether you make profit or not simply because in the long run your life will be broke because of that addiction. Its good to have some focus in other things that can also make you money with just a small amount of risk, investing and trading can be more beneficial that to depend on any gambling.
If you're actually addicted, I don't think that it's enough to just take a break.
When you gamble again, you will just get addicted again. Some people just can't control themselves in that regard, they would be unable to just take a break, it's kinda all or nothing for them.
I don't know if I would recommend a gambling addict to try investing or trading. That could easily turn into gambling for them as well.
