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.
Not really, if you have free time and have the ability to make something happen in gambling, you should start gambling. It is not that you are depressed and are having a bad time and would enter into the gambling world for killing time. I think that you have to be very wise and calm minded to win at gambling. It is not just gambling for the sake of gambling but also for the sake of winning.
