Yes, we have to break while gambling because I have seen if we continuously gambling means the chances of losing might be very high. So always we have to take a break in order to be in safe hands.
OP's going to take a break and that's what he have to do. Looking for other activities which you can focus with will make your attention draw far away from gambling. A gambler should take a break if he sees himself going far from the usual activity that he does and its no longer helping him.

From my experience I realized that we need to take a break from gambling after made a big loss or big win this will be very helpful for us to save ourselves from huge loss or to enjoy the winning amount from the gambling if we continue to gamble we may end up losing the money we made from the gambling as well.If anyone make gambling as their regular habits then they need to make some other activities to get diverted from gambling.
Better shift focus on something else. Something interesting yet beneficial and not too risky. Well, we all know gambling addiction is like a cancer eating us slowly slowly until we are left dead. Dead in terms of finances, focus and right point of view. This feeling that we get whenever we are losing drives us to be more crazy. Good for you then for making that decision.
Right. so frightening is the influence of gambling if you have become an acute addict. if you already have the intention to quit or break it's a good thing. you're right you can try focusing on other things that can take up more of your time. when you think of returning to gambling. just imagine the losses that you have gotten

I've always reminded my friends to break for a while especially if they can win much money because some of my friends have a bad experience in gambling after they are playing the game for a long time. I say to them that it is not good to stay at the gambling game because we cannot do another thing on that day and only spend the time playing gambling. Fortunately, my friend wants to listen to me, and I always ask him to go out to one places, so we can spend our time together.
I think spending time with your friend, together, would easily make you stop gambling and encourage each other to be responsible. In my experience, it's not always being good when you are with a friend, sometimes there are bad influences that could start up bad things, like gambling together. It's fun when you have people by your side.
yes you should take a break from gambling if you feel not to play consistently anymore or just temporarily.
It is necessary because if you play continuously you will lose all your money and you will be mentally disturbed. It is better to quit gambling for some time. if you can quit gambling forever that will be much better but if not then you should avoid gambling for some time. by this way you will be fresh and will save some of your money. Try to engage yourself in some social welfare activitiesIf the main point is to stop forever then we should not use the words "taking a break", better to use "STOP" only. Taking a break means we need to stay away from it for a while for a refreshment purpose then we can come back with fresh mind/condition. Taking a break in gambling is obviously needed no matter we are real gamblers or just vacational gamblers, no matter we have just got bad lose or big win. It help us to manage our emotion, and it is also a way for us to avoid what we call as "addiction".
Taking a break is a million times better than not stopping gambling at all. Take it as your first step to a better life. While you're still in the middle of a break and you're not reminded of gambling, take advantage of that and find a new hobby to replace gambling. And it's the only way you can quit because you have to fill the time that you used to spend on gambling.
Taking rest is always good for continuous gambling because there might be chances of losing more money. So it is always good to wait and start gambling again instead of taking risks, i have experienced losing the money many times while continously gambling.

Your only options on the "interesting yet beneficial and not too risky" is only real life work jobs you know...

Also important that you detach yourself from all unwanted stuff and especially where money is involved you better be staying away because it can take away your money as you lose the bets rather than wining the amount from it.
You could detach yourself from gambling and out your money into other stuff. 
Those who are risk takers just can stop themselves from doing such things. For them a good investment would also be good but they will fail because they have not patience. In gambling though patience is less important for games like dice,slots etc. So its what attracts them to it. Trading is also not their cup of tea because they are not willing to do any analysis or study.
maybe you have had a bitter experience at gambling, so you can learn from your experience. so that you can master the self-control that every gambler must have
Some people do end up with a bitter experience but they still dont learn their lesson. Say they promise to give up gambling but after 2weeks they are back. Self-control is important and determination to stick to the rule is also important.but that is a very difficult thing for gambling addicts, because to be able to do this, gambling addicts should not be allowed the opportunity to hold large amounts of money. because no matter how strong they refrain from gambling, if they still hold money, they will still be trapped in gambling
Lately I felt that I've been gambling a bit too much, it evolved into a weekly event where I would spend a little bit more money than I had originally planned for.
I've decided to take a break from gambling for a while, it's been 3 weeks since my last bet.
Just wanted to make this post in case someone else has any problems with this, spending more than intended, I mean.
You just kinda get into the habit without noticing at first, but you should really take immediate action when you do.
For me it was just a couple of hundred euros overspending, maybe for a month or so.
Taking a break was pretty easy, just replaced the gambling with a bit more gaming and writing articles.
Having a bit of extra cash now as well, always comes in handy
Definitely share your experiences with this, if you have any.

As of now I am not yet stopped gambling even for a day. But I see to it that I will never spend too much of what I intend to bet. what we need to do in order to avoid bug losses is to control our betting and don't get too hooked up in gambling.

It is very important to take some rest from gambling and spend more time with your family. You will be mentally relaxed and your money will also be saved. Regular gambling will take you to the worst conditions and it is not good for you and for your family as well. There are many other activities in the world for entertainment and enjoyment. You can engage yourself there.
The family is the most reason for us to take a break or stop from gambling because they are our life. Spend more time with family can take our mind to stop thinking about gambling because we want to have fun with them. We need to balance our lives between family, activities or work, friends and even gambling so we can know which is important in our life.
Yes, it is not a necessary thing to quit completely at least if you know you are actually doing it for fun, but there are sometimes, based on your budget and your pocket, there are actually point where you may really want to cut down on some things, even if it is classified as fun for you and I feel it is not a bad idea to always take a step back once in a while as there are so many things you can do for fun anyway without having to pay so much for it.
Taking a break from gambling is good. Maybe you won't even feel the impulse to gamble and then who knows perhaps you won't be a gambler? Its worth a try
Taking some rest from gambling is very important and necessary because your mind will refresh and when you back to gambling your mind will be clear for gambling. Just as the doctors say that atleast one day rest in a week is mandatory for physical and mental relaxation. When you back to work on Monday, you will be fresh and will work enthusiastically.I'm confused, you advising to rest from gambling so that you can go back again play after you reset? Doesn't make any sense at all. I know people are gambling to have some fun, so they reset then what's gonna happen to them?
Anyways, there's nothing wrong with taking a break specially if you are losing big money in gambling. And the next time you go back, you will be mindful of your spending habits and most probably gamble just small amounts because you don't want to go wasting your time and at the same time losing more money.
Luckily I can control myself from gambling all the time. I knew gambling because of crypto and the tempting promotion able to attract me to gamble without thinking especially for dice.
For some people may be difficult because it's become their nature to gamble but as long as they able to responsible with their action, it's OK.

lucky for you, because not everyone can control themselves at gambling.
maybe you have had a bitter experience at gambling, so you can learn from your experience. so that you can master the self-control that every gambler must have
It is hard for someone to be able to control themselves in gambling. Most of the gamblers even admit that they can control themselves but the reality is that they can't even make their selves have a breather on gambling. I know a lot of gamblers that say this things and it is really embarrassing when you see them play because they are really into it proof that they are not really controlling them selves but them being controlled by their emotions and being pushed too by the excitement of his friends.
when someone recognizes that they can control themselves, it is just the opposite, and it is true that only emotions become instability in themselves
Some people do end up with a bitter experience but they still dont learn their lesson. Say they promise to give up gambling but after 2weeks they are back. Self-control is important and determination to stick to the rule is also important.
because sometimes they still don't believe what they experience. when they had suffered a big defeat at the court. it does not give them experience, but rather makes them more eager to restore their defeat. which in the end will only fall deeperIt is very important to take some rest from gambling and spend more time with your family. You will be mentally relaxed and your money will also be saved. Regular gambling will take you to the worst conditions and it is not good for you and for your family as well.

it's easy for you to do that, because you are not a gambler. but very different from gamblers, they only think of their pleasure when gambling without thinking about their family 
Very noble of the OP to make this thread, very honest. I have the utmost respect for you. I think we all gamble too much at times. You’ve done the right thing in stepping away for a bit though buddy.
I used to gamble fairly big amounts on football games with low odds so I would win often. A couple of times I got stung and lost though & it’s an awful feeling, an empty & sickness feeling.
I wish you all the best.

Also taking break is a good sign because you yourself can judge that whether are you really got hooked up to ht e gambling or not and can you stay without it for some months or not. Priority must always come first and that one should be setting what is important to them.
