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's true healthy people gamble on their free time and excess money, only those people who do not have a genuine relationship will spend countless hours and pour his savings because he finds relationships in the cards and dice he is holding more than the people around him.
This fact cannot be denied that if a person is alone or dissatisfied with his life, he will find ways to involve his life in some activity and gambling can be one of that activity. Gambling addiction does not happen to a normal person, it only happens if anyone is alone in his life or if he is not satisfied with his income and want to gain more money from gambling.
