Any hobby is an addiction (otherwise why would a person voluntarily engage in it?) and can become a severe form of addiction that will negatively affect a person. For example, computer games and collecting in them. I work in this field and I see with my own eyes how people pay a lot of money to own virtual items. And to be honest, this even affects me - I’m starting to value some virtual things more than money. So you need to understand that any activity can be dangerous if it turns into a severe form of addiction, and gambling is not much different from other activities.
Gambling can be a hobby
, but when you have an addiction to gambling, it can no longer be called a hobby; instead, it is a vice that is difficult to let go of. But even so, when it becomes a habit, we should try to return to normal gambling instead of worsening our condition by becoming addicted to gambling.
Although it is not easy to do and it will take a long time, let's try as much as we can to control ourselves because, in the end, if we neglect or just let it go,
the result will not be good in the end, that's for sure.
Can you name at least one hobby that is not accompanied by addiction? No matter who I look at, everyone's hobby (if they have one) is of great importance. Garden lovers almost cry if they are unable to grow their favorite variety of tomatoes, similarly with flower lovers, how collectors suffer from the absence of some nonsense in their collection is difficult to describe in words, etc. It is obvious to me that if a person does something voluntarily, spends time, energy and money on it, then he has an addiction to it.
