Some gamblers see taking of breaks as sign of weakness but they forget to understand that youvare only been cautious about your gambling life and needs time to think about other things in life. Gambling shouldn't be a compulsory thing that you can't do without. If not, it shows that you are already addicted. I take a long break whenever, I have lost a big amount of money.
It seems to me that it is much more important to exclude such a concept as "losing a large sum of money" than to take a break every time after that. You can take a break whenever you want, during the holidays, or when you have a heavy workload and you can't be distracted, there can be many reasons. Or you can take a break just like that for no reason, just because now you wanted to take a break from this and took a break for a month or more. If you play for fun, then this will not affect anything, because you do not count on profit from gambling, and you may not even lose the money that you could lose.
