Your case is similar to what I experienced a few months ago, maybe because I was bored with the old game and boom!! when I found a new game I felt the sensation, making me neglect important things and finally without realizing it I got carried away, I was quite disappointed at that time because my losses exceeded the limit I had set, luckily I realized my mistake early and went back to playing as usual, I'm pretty sure what we "op" experienced is experienced by most other gamblers.
Being in control of our gambling is very important so that we do not drift into irresponsible gambling that affects us negatively, if you find out that you are no longer in control the best thing to do is take a break. So knowing when to stop is key to controlling gambling habit, if you are on a losing streak or you are over engaging in it and it's affecting other areas of your life the best thing is to take a break. Gambling should not be seen as a job that you must do inorder to earn money, there is no guarantee of making money in it so you should feel free to take a break if you are not getting positive results.
Taking a break and evaluating yourself is key and very important as it will put you on track in case you are going offline when it comes to gambling because there are sometimes that we may be going offline in our gambling activities as we may be blindfolded by what we are aiming to win and continue to gamble even though we are lossing
