Gambling will be very dangerous if someone is greedy and cannot control their emotions and finances. What you are experiencing is what most gambling addicts experience. But luckily you still have good emotional control so you choose to stop gambling for a few days. You can feel that you have been free from addiction. Most gamblers who fail to control their emotions end up in debt and experience big losses that destroy their lives and their families. For emotional people it is important to control their emotions first. Because you will really lose if you are in an emotional state.
If you can stop yourself from gambling for some few daily then I do not think you were addicted or your addiction is not very strong yet because any individual that is addicted can not stop to gamble. They will rather not eat or take care of their family and be gambling. For people with too much emotions, they should not be gambling because they can not control it and if they are gambling with emotions, it is going to cause them to lose more than they can win. Emotional gamblers will not want to lose but always be chasing their losses. Gambling is very tricky because you will think that you have a chance of winning but after gambling many times. You still would not win. Until your emotions do not have control over you. Do not think you can make money from gambling because you can not.
