Re: Is gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction?

some gambling cases could be due to loneliness , but majority don't . people get addicted to drugs to escape away from reality , they don't want to face their troubles in life . So addiction leads to loneliness not the other way ! .
I think this kind of discussion needs a supervision of a suitable specialist not on forums where anyone can say random words.

It's still better to discuss with this kind of issues to also help other gamblers to narrow down the main issue of being lonely which leads to addiction. Addiction is a serious matter which needs to be handled by some specialist and you definitely right with your concern.

I dont think everyone who does gambling is addicted because of loneliness and dissatisfaction. Orhers do it for recreation and self enjoyment. The feeling of satisfaction upon winning a game cannot be measured by any means. Addendum to that excitement in winning is the fact that you double your money in your money pot which will prolong your time in the gambling house.

Many people playing gambling because they want to know about the games and they are playing the games with their friends too. People like this don't think too far about the games, and they only want to enjoy the games and the chat box so they can talk with other people. The satisfaction here doesn't mean they can win the games and the money, but they can meet their friends so they can discuss anything and play together. But maybe some people are playing gambling because of loneliness and dissatisfaction, and they can feel better by playing gambling. We still don't know what people purposes of playing gambling and we have a different opinion on this.
