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.

maybe loneliness can be factor when someone have friends, he wouldn't spend time in Casino. Because if we have friends to spend time, we can do other things that can make us enjoy this life.

I also think that loneliness is a key factor for gambling. Good relationships, spending a good time with friends can substitute a desire of gambling. But I don't think that periodic gambling would be something bad.

Well, it is depend on what that gambling affect to that person. If it is cause bad things, so it is bad. But if it is give that people feel to cover that loneliness, so it can be good for that person. Back to depends on what that person aim in gambling.
