The longest break I take before was about 3 months, it is when I lost everything I won before that. At first, I lost a little amount but then because I wanted to take those losses, I continue to play until all my money in my wallet was deposited and lost in gambling. I took 3 months break because I can't remove the fact that I wasn't able to control myself and end up losing all my money.
Then after that 3 months you come back again have your mind set to take back all your losses ? But well it looks like you learned some lesson here so you will never do the same thing again. As of what you have said, I felt that you regret the thing that happened to you. So by the time you come back, you already know how to control the money you used. It is already a mature version of yourself. It is not bad to gamble again.

Like some members I gambling a little. In this time of quarantine, I have not wanted gambling. It is very difficult now. I am helping my family I also have an unemployed brother and I don't have extra money for me. Now my priority is to take care of the family until this bad weather ends.
Those that are still betting at this time of covid pandemic are chronic gamblers, most especially those gambling on some lower leagues, they tend to loose more because there's no accurate statistics for those lower leagues, the best thing to do is to totally stay out of gambling for now so as to avoid stories that touch 
With online site, its just one click in your computer and you can start gambling, more temptation, means more discipline.
When an internet connection is active then like being in a casino club and one click will make sitting in a casino chair ready to play gambling, the locking situation doesn't change mindset to stay addicted to gambling, not good advice. Try to apply self-discipline to limit activities that are less profitable than interests when with family.

It is ok. You are not forced to gamble and set your priorities first before leisure. Casinos are there even after the quarantine period and if you have extra money and you want to have fun, you can do it.
So as long as this quarantine period hasn't expired, many are in a break.

It's been a long time now since I stop gambling. I only bet for basketball games and as of now, there are no games from the NBA and here in my country's league.
I will be back once everything is okay again.
BTW another fact about this Basketball sports. NBA will loose 1 BILLION USD if the season will not continue.
We are now in a very dangerous and hard time (the whole world) and even gambling in Vegas is not open also.
We are losing the Economy and we should help the world to start a new life. Earth is healing.

That is just right. People should not really pursue their gambling activities right now as casinos are closed and people are just risking their money more with the games they will be betting on that they don't usually do. That is the right path you take and people should really focus on taking care of their family than taking care of their vices.

Good for you, it will take more time for you to stay away from gambling since there's lockdown that's been implemented, instead of using your moneyinto gambling better to use it to feed your families or save it and reserved it we don't know how long the lockdown will take place so better to have
something inside your wallet for emergency cases.
Usually, whenever I lose too much I'll take a break for just a few days (up to a month).
This is a good attitude, you don't want yourself to lose any further, and this is a good attitude for gamblers to avoid more loses and reflect on why he loses that much. I wish everyone have this kind of discipline but it's always good to not lose too much in gambling and stay always at your limit.

But longest time was unusual since I had some real life issues and a big lose in same time(2 years ago). I toke a break for a half of year. but I got my listen and used a proper strategy after that time

Now I don't make long breaks because online gambling made everything easier. Before when I was
younger and we didn't have online gambling I had long breaks, but now I don't think about that I just
play when I have a wish for that!
Gambling online works for 24 hours and when someone wants to gamble it can be accessed anywhere and anytime, online gambling does not make you rest for a long time and let me guess you only stop gambling in few hours day and the longest is only 3- 7 daysyounger and we didn't have online gambling I had long breaks, but now I don't think about that I just

Between 2013 and 2017 I haven't gambled, I mean maybe here and there quick things to check something out for my work but it wasn't really gambling because I either didn't spend any money and was only testing with "play money" the casinos have for testing, or it was quite small amount that wasn't really important.
After 2017 I got out of that job and got into a new job which is a bit entertaining and involves gambling itself so I do go and gamble in some places time to time nowadays, not frequently, not as much as I gambled before 2013 for example, those were some days I gambled like hell, I do not gamble that much anymore at all, however it is still more gambling than my hiatus so I can consider that 4 years as the longest period of time I haven't gambled at all.

30 days with no internet ? cant imagine to live on that place man . ~
It was more than 3 years ago, actually. And, of course, I could arrange internet access for myself if I wanted to, but I just didn't. Since then I'm happy if I manage to have 2 days like that in a month, but it's harder and harder to achieve. And it's not because I'm addicted to gambling, no, far from it. It's because I'm addicted to the Internet.
And cos I usually play dice for a minute or two, at least, whenever I have hours of internet connection, I can say that for the past 3+ years, the max break from gambling I can get is less than 2 days.
I stopped gambling for a few months after I lost a couple of grand on one stupid football game. I’m now way better at limiting myself to smaller bets. Winning big is great but it’s no fun when you have so much riding on it, I much prefer to bet smaller & if I lose it doesn’t matter so much.
I gamble like that, I bet small and usually I win small, but if I lose I don't care much about it. I never
gambled with more than $10! it's some maximum for me.

Yeah internet is just too vital part of our lives nowadays, there is no way I can live without internet for 30 days straight, I would probably go crazy, hell I wouldn't even remember newspapers when I want to know more about the world. I go visit my moms time to time and they do not have wifi, so I have to go to internet using my mobile plan for the duration and even that becomes difficult after first few days.
However I am sure it must have a freeing feeling, I mean there must be some sort of getting used to part but after you adjust to it, I am sure you must get a lot more done when doing your chores. Think about it, how much internet actually crowds your day and all the time you spend on the internet, without it you must probably feel like you have soooo much free time in your hands.
