It's hard to take a break from gambling if it's become a habit, what's your Longest Break You Have On Not Gambling, in my case my longest days of break from gambling is 30 days when I take a vacation from a place when there are no casinos, and no internet connection.
My longest one was 3 months and that was 2 years ago when i really lost big on that day because of gambling and i want to quit gambling since that day, but it's really hard to do. You just can't quit, and that's why i'm back afther that 3 months, continue gambling until now. Tbh it's really hard to not gambling after years of gambling.
you should have used as chances to escape that Big losing you mentioned mate but instead of doing that you missed losing again lol.
maybe you are waiting for more losses ?for you to understand that gambling if you cannot control will Take everything from you.
