There are some gamblers who come to know about their addiction to gambling even after a long time. There are many people who do not understand the addiction even after gambling for a long time. Gambling has negative effects mainly for those who do not understand the addiction. There are some gamblers who take a break from gambling temporarily when they lose their money and become active again after managing their money. Those who are able to understand them as addicts should share their gambling thought with someone they trust so that he can give him good suggestions to recover from his addiction.

I fall under the category of those gamblers who take a break after losing a decent amount of money in gambling.
Mostly the breaks are for few weeks until I make a new deposit again and start gambling.
I think it is necessary to take short breaks so that we don't get addicted to gambling.
It also makes us a responsible gambler by keeping a track of our losses.

This is good because you can indirectly limit and control the gambling activities that you have carried out because most of the gamblers out there still find it difficult to stop gambling when they lose and they are more likely to choose to continue playing or betting in the hope of catching up on their losses.
When you can stop easily to rest then you have become a great gambler and not all gamblers can be like you.

Moreover taking a break when you experience defeat can make you calmer easier to control your emotions and of course you can come back again in the future full of confidence.

It does require a strong will to stop though. We all know how tempting it can be to just keep trying your luck to win more.
Even I have experienced losses like these once upon a time but then taking breaks made me understood that it will ruin my bank balance.
Once losses go above the budget then the problem starts and the fix was to limit the losses and set up a strict budget for gambling and follow it strictly.

You guys all have good advice here, but at times, it's easier said than done and no matter how you advise many gamblers, it will always fall on deaf ears. The reason is that we have different mind strengths, some people's minds are so weak and will never yield to correction even if they know what you are saying is the rightest thing to do. This is why addictions fall on people differently. It's good for those who are weak in mind to know their weaknesses and admit it, it helps them better to quit or take a break when they know they are doing what they shouldn't do.

The addiction with some people gambling still baffles people with strong minds, including me, but I never blame them since we are not made the same way unless we deceive ourselves. Yet, they should not be celebrating their weakness, they should rather discover themselves and know their strengths and weaknesses so as to help themselves in dealing with personal and mental situations.
