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.

You know what, I believe it is one of the factor. Because whenever I visit some casinos, I often see old people playing slot machines. I am thinking to myself if they are really consistent to play that thing until they win or perhaps they just really killing their time on it. I guess their motive has that both but the factor of loneliness is more likely.

That might be one reason, many people have complicated relationships in society, many people are difficult to get along with, and don't get many friends and affection, they devote everything to being gambled to get that pleasure. but I'm sure not all players have that reason to play gambling, sometimes even happy people can become addicts, if gambling has become a part of their lives and becomes a habit

These factors are determining factors.Unfortunately nowadays we are seeing a lot of suicides from people not accepting breaking up from a relationship, some with even weaker characters to not accept losing a really good job and doing suicide also.Some others find gambling and alcohol as a way to forget their problems for a short amount of time but they soon realize they even have more problems because of this.
