I think its understandable if some of us turn to alcohol to somehow forget temporarily their current problem because it has different effect to our body once we consume it. But with gambling? It can give you another problem if you lose your money, its not really a good idea, however there are people who think they can escape their problem when they gamble.
Perhaps, that person can release their stress because of his problem by playing one or more gambling games, and after he feels the tension of the previous problem is gone, he can calm himself down. Well, I think that can happen to some people but not all people because playing gambling will give another problem to us, especially if we lose some money.
However, when you have a problem, you should not use something that can increase your tension and make you get more stress, but you should try to solve the problem first before you do another thing. I cannot imagine how big the problem will be if he losses much money in gambling because that means, he will get the double problem
