There are a lot of viewpoints in every religion when it comes to gambling, and it really varies depending on your religion, Religious groups that believe in more than one GOD tends to have more positive views when it comes to gambling while religious groups that believe in only one GOD, don't really approve in gambling and less likely to gamble intensely, I am in catholic religion and surely doesn't approve of gambling that gambling is bad and could ruin your life, that is why I am gambling occasionally and not really intensely playing gambling at all, and I think my religious view have to help me a lot in not getting addicted to gambling,

I really think some addictions will like to be healed if they can have a spiritual moment or have a spiritual view because some addictions can not be treated by just rehab, or medication, there is a hole in their heart and I think that whole will be filled if they can have a spiritual opener in their minds, well this is my opinion because it works for me and I think it will likely work for you if a person is filled with that kind of love both Physically, and Spiritually,
