because I think gambling is the worst substance than drugs. but it seems like you are gone, and I will also catch up with you if I don't get a way out from the gambling trap that ruined my finances until I'm deeply in debt.


It's actually a matter of approach, because gambling can and should be fun, and for me personally it's much less evil than drugs or alcohol, although of course I don't want to minimize the problems that arise from any kind of addiction. We can now discuss whether the greater blame lies with those who offer gambling or the greater blame lies with those who cannot control themselves - perhaps it would be correct to say that both sides bear the blame.

Everyone has the right to share its personal opinion and I respect GofarChan for the ability to modulate the tone of his message even after losing a big amount (I guess) of money gambling.

I don't think the comparison is fair in general, but there are different degrees in the use and abuse of these substances and activities. There is a lesson to be learned when you make some decisions like trying (hard) drugs or (hardcore) gambling, and the price to pay for these lessons is high sometimes.
