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.
Gambling addiction is different from drug addiction in terms of reasoning from someone who is into it. Addiction in gambling is because people are dissatisfied with what they already won in a gambling, and tend to lose it all even if they know they are not winning the game.
I agree, addiction is gambling is more on not being satisfied with their winnings and they tend to become greedy to win more and as a result lose everything. I don't think gamblers gamble because their lonely its just that they've found fun while doing it like myself, don't get me wrong, i'm not an addict but gambling is my favorite past time not because i'm lonely. However, it depends still on the gamblers because we all have different reasons why we gamble.
