Yesterday I watched a video about addiction on youtube: https://youtu.be/ao8L-0nSYzg. It was a real surprise to me that according to recent research people are addicted to drugs mainly because they can't bond well with people and are not able to live a satisfying life. The research shows that when an addicted person appears in a loving and caring environment, the addiction kind of disappears (even heroin addiction). I wonder what are your thoughts on this matter and whether you think you could say the same about gambling addiction.

We have our own ways on how to ignore our own lives, if we hate the reality, we will find a way on how not to live with that kind of life we have. I don't gamble but my way on ignoring the reality is to focus on this forum, I'm just in my room reading stuffs here, joining signature campaign and post my opinions about things, that is how I let out all of the depressions that I have in me everyday, I just keep on repeating those things that I have mentioned, and I'm always giving myself some quality time to refresh my mind so I could go on.

Though it is not always a positive way for everybody, just like what you've said, others are addicted to drugs, in gambling, and other bad things in this world, and I think that is not a good way to escape the reality, you are just destroying yourself by that.

Most of the times, people are just running away from their real problems. They find an easy escape from their troubles in gambling and drugs for some moment. Definitely, it does not solve the problems rather work like a multiplier which increases problems. However, not everyone has guts to stand up and look in the face of life. It takes some time before a bird learns to fly.
