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.
I believe this is a common human emotion, not limited to gambling. Whether it's work or investments, when we accomplish tasks or make profitable investments, it can bring us a lot of joy. Conversely, we tend to get frustrated when things aren't going well. I'd say that drug addiction is even more concerning than gambling addiction.
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?
The best approach, in my opinion, is to remove all gambling-related influences. However, it's easier said than done since the individual might need someone to support them during this period. Even better, redirect them towards sports or encourage them to read books to help overcome their addiction.
