Just like what you did, after i lost a lot of money on my recovery process i manage to stop for a week and resume playing and it really helps me to recover. Maybe we need a rest when we are gambling because if we get addicted to it and doesn't stop playing, our way of thinking and game play will also get ruined. It is better if we have a scheduled date or time to gamble so that we can help ourselves to maintain our way of thinking and it will also help us to have enough time for our family.
Stop for a week will help you to reduce the tension of playing gambling. You will have another chance to recover your losses in the next week, but I don't know if your lucky will come to you and help you to recover the losses. I always take a break after playing gambling, no matter if I lose or win, because I want to rest and not think about the gambling games. It will refresh our mind in the next week, and we can enjoy playing gambling. Making a schedule will be better, so we can manage when we play gambling and do other things.
Having set limits would be nicer to set you back from your loss. Having a predetermined amount of funds for the month can give you a nicer look at your personal economic status. Yes, time can make you less aggravated for gambling for a specific amount of time, but still won't set you back to lose. Aside from that week's time out, you can try to do my 3 rounds pause rule after I lose for consecutive rounds. You can also take a bathroom break or smoke break, anything that can release your tension, and make your mind reset to normal will do.
