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.
That is not true at all, you said that people are addicted to drugs because they have problems, but i know people that are using drugs on a daily basis and they are extremely succesfull
.
To make it as an example, they have very good jobs, they earn a bunch of money, they have good relationships, but they take drugs too.
It's true, in many cases what happens is exactly the opposite of what the thread's author says: the addicted person lives in a loving environment, with a good wife and children who have only love to give, but for some reason it's not enough for him... He prefers the addiction and destroy all this positive environment he has at home with his family. It's a very strange situation, but it happens.
Some people tend to prefer the chaos in their life, they look for it, peaceful calm life doesn't fit them... Maybe it's about personality, people who like to live without limits.
