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.

It’s 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, doesn’t get addicted to gambling or whatever. To solve your gambling addiction, you have to solve the previous problems first, and then, quit gambling forever.

While I agree that those to get addicted to gambling or to anything else have some unsolved problems in their lives that needs to be tackled at the same time that addiction can be so big that I think it needs to be deal with first, and only after the person has overcome his behaviors you can deal with the reasons behind them, otherwise the addicted behavior could destroy them before you are able to help them.
