Gambling brings so much joy especially when you're on the winning side, when things are all in your favor it just seems like you should never stop. But when it gets bad, you look for a way to pour out your anger, either on someone or on something.
When someone is addicted to gambling I feel it's worst than one who's addicted to drugs.
Too much winning too can lead to addictive attitude. When a gambler is used to favourable streaks of wins for a period of time haven been lucky for too long forgotten that there's also an opposite side of gambling and then started experiencing series of losses later on, trying to chase those losses based on a one sided winning mentality you might have developed could lead to addiction as you endlessly keep chasing each loss after another, at that point it's very difficult to control oneself as you have already lost control of your gambling limit.
Gambling addiction and drug addiction is of no difference, the two are negative and self destructive so let not give one victim out there a feeling of a better position compared to the other.
The question is if you're a gambler or have someone who is, what's the best way to help out. And what's your story on escaping that addiction (gambling)...
How do you fight this battle?
Addiction to gambling or drugs is something I fear like hell, and I feel it's that fear that keeps me in check as I go on gambling. IMO, sometimes it's good to create fear about a phenomenon we see as negative to our wellbeing and that avoiding by keeping limits does us a lot better than trying to act brave whereas we're unconsciously falling to it gradually.
