Do I need to completely stop

I know that I need to stop gambling I am a 19 year old college student and this past month I have probably lost around 2k gambling, on scratch offs sports betting and horses. I know I need to stop.

My plan is to take a month off and pay off my debts and all that and maybe come back to it but do it conotrllled. I was wondering if this is a bad idea to come back to it at a controlled level.
