Guys, I know that many of you have already discussed this issue regarding quitting gambling as it is addictive, and I know that this thread is just like any other one. But forgive me because I am really sick of seeing people committing suicide because they are in big debts. I would like to speak my mind.
Its hard for me to believe this. How many people have you seen committing suicide? 20?
For me, gambling addiction is a symptom of previous problems. Someone with a good life, with high self-esteem and without any psychological issues, doesnt get addicted to gambling or whatever.
I respect your opinion but this is to contradict your statement. Previous problems may be one of the causes of an addiction though Gambling addiction is a mental issue. There are people that don't have any problems they just wanted to have some fun but after few visits and without knowing or noticing it, addiction already took over their system. There are a lot of people which you have stated that has a "Good life, with High self-esteem and without any psychological issues" or whatever that are addicted to gambling, I've been in a rehab program before and most of my rehab mates are let's say "living the life". How did they become addicted to gambling? At first, it's just for entertainment and/or fun (like I said) but things got out of their hands and started to waste money to the point that they are in big debts.
To solve your gambling addiction, you have to solve the previous problems first, and then, quit gambling forever.
It's easy to say than done. Like I said some don't have previous problems, though one must help themselves so that the tools available can expedite the recovery of an addicted person.
