~ It is true that gambling have become modernized, technology have affected and changed almost everything, trying to stop gambling right now will only push people into the older ways gambling was practiced before the internet came into existence.
And also worthy of note is that, every activity in life have their pros and cons, their advantages and disadvantage, gambling in itself is not a bad thing to do, abuse is what lead many people into becoming gambling addicts, those who respect the rules of gambling always enjoy and have fun doing it.
Sorry, I don't understand what do you mean by that? You mean gambling addicts after undergoing a therapy start gambling in land-based casinos? Are there such cases? Because I think it's harder to get rid of internet gambling addiction, and people who are cured from it will not even think of going into land-based casinos.
I totally agree with the second part of your post though. It's not gambling itself that ruins people's lives, it's abusing it is what's bad.
Whether you have caught yourself getting addicted neither online or offline gambling and on the time that you had been able to experience those worst things then you would really be definitely be
trying out to avoid as much as you could once you had tasted up that unfortunate condition. People would usually be starting out to realize with those mistakes if they would really be able to experience those bitter things on which they would really be able to forget it out for the rest of their lives and they would really be avoiding things as much as they could. If ever they would really be going back
again into addiction just because of having no control then it would really be just that proving out that your addiction hadnt been wiped out yet or simply you are a type of person who doesnt really
learn from past mistakes.
