There are people out there who do not want to play gambling at all because they think that once they do, they will fall into addiction. Of course, we know it’s not that immediate nor easy but it makes me wonder whether there’s some truth to that. Is it better to avoid addiction in the first place by completely devoiding yourself of doing that activity instead of playing and getting addicted only to try and recover afterwards?
Theres some truth to that way of thinking. Not everyone who tries gambling becomes addicted, but the risk is always there and you never know how you’ll react. Its much easier to prevent a problem than to deal with it later. If someone feels they might be prone to addiction or simply doesnt want to take the risk, the safest option is not to start at all.
