Nowadays, I only deposit once a month after my payday and play once a week (using affiliate money and weekly bonuses), so I don't need a gambling break. However, I still remember when I was new to gambling IIRC in 2017; I would play often, and it beat me up financially, mentally, and physically. Upon realizing that gambling isn't meant to be played like that, I stopped for several months and played video games, etc., to keep my mind busy. It's the best decision to overcome addiction and it opened a new page of responsible gambling IMO.
