One thing some people don't know is that no matter what mood you are in, especially when you are either having a bad day, family issue, monetary issue, etc., gambling can only distract you from that mood for a short time, but it can't solve the problem you are facing. The person needs to settle themselvesdown and get things solved instead of running into gambling all the time as if it's some kind of safe haven for them to escape their problem. Some gamblers need to be reoriented.
Everyone is looking for ways to escape what ever they are going through and when it comes to gambling I don't think it's the best option you know there are people that use alcohol to escape reality and the best thing that can actually happen to to face them and then fix them and let's even assume that you have something that is distracting you send it will only be for the main time, and your point is valid you can not continue to run away so face reality and become better. And if it is about gambling is not a business to venture into when you are not prepared because emotional majority matters a lot.
