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.
Drugs and gambling are very different from each other but they are also same because it is both addicting. "gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction?" No I dont think so. As of my experience we become addicted to gambling because we become greed and we become tempted of this thing. We want to win the big price. Gambling is money. Money is temptation.
Drugs and gambling is of course very different from each other but people keep distance from such people who are drugs or gambling addictors. Nobody wants relationship with them, because they are the worst people of the society. They have no positive role in gambling. Loneliness and dissatisfaction is good for them to take lessons from their activities and bad habits.
