What is the instances that makes you take a break in gambling?
I know a person who was an active gambler and has been gaming for so many years but he took a break when he fell seriously sick. The sickness affected him so much that even when he recovered he stopped gambling. I don't know if his decision to quit was connected to the medical advice but his experience proved that sickness can make a gambler take a break.
Too much workload has made me take a long break from gambling. There was a time when I had to take on more tasks in the office that I could hardly think about gambling. I had to work during the weekend which was my best time for gambling. When people were gambling more during the COVID-19 lockdown, I had to take some breaks periodically due to lack of funds. I will not channel the little funds that were available to risk them on gambling so I had to take some time off.
