I feel the real intensity of my mistake after I withdraw my funds. My hand is shaking and I think my flu come back again due to intense game. I just recently received my yearly bonus and other incentives at work that’s why I’m very confident on playing huge amount.

I can’t imagine what will I deposit when I still lose my 1800$ because I still have remaining balance on my bank account this time. I learned a lot of lesson today. Even a casual gambler can still commit a mistake like addicted gambler does when in dire situation.  Angry 

The good thing here is that you have already realized your mistake and you learned the lesson. Chasing losses can be really dangerous because it can lead to even bigger losses and can be very difficult to stop. Gambling should always be done in moderation and only for entertainment purposes. You intended to gamble for fun initially but the idea changed immediately you lost the first deposit. I would advise you to take some break as you already decided. If you're feeling bored or lonely, there are lots of other things you can do to entertain yourself.

Your case is another proof that idleness is one key factor that promote reckless and irresponsible gambling nowadays. You wouldn't have ended up gambling if you were to be busy with work as usual. Even as an addicted person, if you are busy all the time, it will help to reduce your addiction and the lesser time you have to gamble is the higher chance you would be free from the addiction.
