People who gamble by only thinking about that moment without thinking about tomorrow may be more precisely those who are addicted to gambling, but people who make gambling an escape, do you think it can be said to be included in the group of people who are addicted, I myself am confused thinking about this. Gambling itself is indeed something that has a big risk, and everyone who likes to gamble should be aware of this, but until now there have been cases of someone experiencing bad events because they are too excessive in gambling. Rather than gambling as an escape when we are stressed, it is better not to do it at all, because what I fear is that something worse could happen when they are stressed and gamble. It would be better if they could find other activities that are more positive and have less risk.
Those who make gambling an escape can be categorized as people who addicted to gambling because they always use gambling to distract their minds from one problem and don't want to think how to solve the problem. They think that gambling can makes them calm down for a while from the problem where they can make their mood back. Even if they lose their money, that will usual for them and they can back to gambling in the next days. Gambling have its risk so they must know how to treat gambling and never use gambling as an escape because that will not gives a good result. When you are stressed, you better stay away from gambling for a while and use gambling as an escape because that can makes you headache when you lose that can become bigger. You can do other things that can makes you happy, excited, and want to solve your stress than to spend too much money in gambling.
