In my opinion, healthy gamblers already have other priorities in their lives. For them, gambling is just a hobby or a way to have fun.
The problem starts when it becomes their only focus.
I’m not sure what people who only gamble have in common, but I think most of them struggle with some psychological issues.
yeah, you are right.... healthy gamblers typically have goals outside of the game, so they are motivated by more than just the rush. However claiming that those who only gamble ""struggle with psychological issues""? That is too general. While not a universal psych issue, problem gamblers frequently exhibit higher levels of impulsivity, stress, dissociation, alexithymia & unhealthy habits, all of which are typical causes of hamster in wheel behaviour. Bro, you are still innocent until proven guilty. Healthy means having a balance between control & motivation
