it's interesting because if we stretch the elastic even more, can a heroin or crack cocaine frequent user be considered "normal", let's say "not addicted" if their use fall in this description we just found?

If the behavior makes the user happy and it's not a problem for them (or people around them)... would it be ok? supposing it's legal, of course.
this line of thinking can spark interesting conversations on morality, ethics and behavior.

Yes, that's usually fine. It depends on the substance though because they come with different levels of addiction.

For example if someone simply tries one time marijuana, they will not be addicted if they never do it again.

But, if anyone tries heroine or a similar drug once, they will be addicted forever.

The problem lies in the brain. Some chemicals give you such a high in the first dose that you can never get back to it.

That's called chasing the dragon.

Basically imagine the best feeling you have lived in your entire life. Multiply it by a hundred. That's what a person gets when they get heroin or similar substances in their bodies.

They can never experience that level of happiness, or joy, etc, outside of the chemical, so they end up doing it over and over, with decreasing power. It's quite sad.

I don't really believe on being addicted forever by one use.

There's also the difference between behavioral addiction and chemical, quite different when you make something a habit than when your body could breakdown due to stop of using one substance
long term heroin users, as an example, can't simply stop using it out of nowhere otherwise they breakdown, at least I saw something about it in the past

regarding using cannabis once,
what if you use it once a week? what about alcohol? a drink a day is ok?

the subject of frequency of use varies a lot from person to person and is quite subjective as well
connects with genetics, behavior, culture, resistance to each substance or how it affects you

quite interesting.

When you call someone successful it means that he has all positive elements that society accept and also is well to do, and if a person is successful through gambling, it not accurate and right to call him or her an addict because addictions has to do with a lot of negativities that affects both the victims and those around him.
Gambling has two perspectives which is abusive gambling and responsible gambling but most people in the society may not understand this and they tend to refer to all gamblers as addict's.

Once you do reach out into a certain situation on which you are considered to be successful then this would really be talking or pertain into those gamblers who are really that making
money already on which you cant really that make yourself that be able to get wrecked with gambling. Is it possible? Yes it could be done and possible but only a few could be able to make out
on the risks of gambling when it comes to addiction and getting bankrupt. We do really just know that it is really that majority of us would really be aiming on being profitable but
lots or almost of those gamblers do really fail on doing so. This is why this cycle wouldnt really end and would be going back again and again until they would really be losing it all.
This is why it would be always best that you should really just only play for fun and not for money most of the time.

Yes like you have explained, for the fact that someone is successful in gambling do not mean they are addicts. It is very important for us to know how we put our words so that we don't use it to hurt other people. Not all successful gamblers are addict but op may seems to be mistaken somehow. There are people that made money from gambling through a single jackpot that exploded there income making them one of the highest winning in history. Some might not even be a gambler. Some might be just a rare gamer that keep trying there lucks out to see if they could win something from gambling.

I even doubt if an addict can actually attain success gambling because the word addict comes with so much of negativity in its own so trying to merge success with an addiction is something I'm really finding difficult to figure out because an addict will definitely get burnt unlike a successful person would gambling.

Successful gamblers can sometimes be people who have actually disciplined their self to stay true to a strategy until they got to win big and for me they are the main successful gamblers because there was a process through which they went to attaining the height they have got gambling but the others who won from a one time jack pot and probably didn't Play again are lucky gamblers in my own terms, they were only lucky to get such big hit at their casual try same apply to those who like you stated aren't gamblers but had a trial that got them a big hit.

That process give a person an opportunity to continue learning and continue to achieve what he really aiming inside gambling, they can be call as wise and a pro as they continue to be in the positive side, unlike with gambling addicted person where there's no actual winning goal but just to play and fill the desire of gambling.

Being successful means that you understand the risk and all the potentials that you mostly take the advantages of using your knowledge to have that edge and have more winning sessions compared with your losing picks.

When the money begins to creep in, the newbie is most likely going to have a hard time controlling his emotions. Unless he's focused on learning new skills in gambling, he'd look out for more wins. This births the stage where the gambler has a confusing mind on what to do, as he lacks a mentor that can guide him and advise him to continue playing using is usual gambling method. Most often the player wouldn't recognize playing to enjoy the game as a good strategy, that's he'll dump it and move ahead to go for more wins. However in games other than slot, the player would need to master them to be able to win. On a lucky day, they can win while playing in the midst of a professional. It always feels good to win, but the same joy could yield reckless gambling in the journey of newbie gamblers. Newbies who began gambling in a physical casino would have some professionals to guide them on ways to gamble compared to the online casino. Like the player in your response, he'd receive advice from other gamblers on ways to maintain accurate gambling strategies, to avoid losing out more money.

A newbie has no reason to worry about his loss, instead, he should focus more on discovering how gambling works for them. Our daily gambling experiences are not similar. The reason why a professional can lose to a newbie. We don't gamble from the moon, humans come to gamble after some days of work or stress. What we think at the moment of gambling can affect the results of our predictions. Regardless of the gambler's level if his day wasn't cool and fine he'd have a hard time winning in gambling. Especially for gamblers who are dependent on the reward of gambling. Whoever must stay on the positive side of gambling, should always endeavor to keep his days emotionally stable, and avoid any form of disturbing thoughts, while gambling. As it has to deal with money and the brain. When the brain gets complicated with different thoughts and ideas combined, the player can have a hard time coming up with accurate predictions.

Even though he learns new skills, that doesn't guarantee he can always win at gambling games. He must remember that gambling is about winning and losing, so one cannot always win. Perhaps he can win at sports betting based on skill and luck, but for other gambling games, it doesn't seem like it will guarantee he can win easily. And when he continues to try to gamble just because he wants to win more often than other gamblers, he can become a gambler who is addicted to gambling without realizing it. That will be far from his achievement of becoming a professional gambler.

Meanwhile, to become a professional gambler, a person must have so many things to learn and practice that they cannot master them quickly. A professional gambler will try to control himself when gambling. Even if he encounters difficult opponents, nothing will affect him. He can also decide when he should stop gambling and never think about continuing gambling if the situation does not allow it.

A professional gambler can lose against a novice gambler when he loses control of himself, and a professional gambler can lose, especially if he is too persistent in gambling. Meanwhile, novice gamblers who are uncomfortable in their initial games become more and more confident with the situation in the next round. He can adapt himself well to gambling and remains calm even though he is up against a professional gambler who is experienced in gambling games. If a beginner loses control of himself due to pressure from professional gamblers and cannot resist it, he will eventually experience loss. Usually, novice gamblers will not be able to control themselves when they lose and will be provoked by their emotions due to pressure from professional gamblers. And this can be used well by a professional gambler to keep beating him until all his money is gone.

The professional gamblers have been in the game for a long time and could handle all the troubles associated to gambling. It's one reason people could call them profession in the gambling niche. But on the long run, everyone loses in gambling. Because the game knows no newbie or professional. It's mostly about the luck and few skill. Even while betting on football games the highly experienced gamblers end up losing in the process. However the professionals have unique personalities. Some may have the strong discipline not to go against their strategies, and others wouldn't mind twisting their choices depending on the nature of the game. If they're losing they'll trying to win using another strategy which they're not aware of how it'll work or not. That's why you'd hear the professionals say that gambling has no winning strategy, because they've tried it and figure the truth behind gambling. Every gambler should have their strategy and abide by it to stay on a safe lane.

The gambler who want to win in the gambling site should be patience in the gambling site,So in some days the game will change to the favour of the gamblers.The gambler should learn the game completely before the gambling site favour the gamblers.The skills towards the game was the important one in the gambling site,So the gamblers should allocate the specific duration of time to the development of the gambling skills.The continuous loss also give more knowledge to the gamblers in the long run,he never forgot the knowledge which he earned at the time of the loss in the gambling site.

Many gamblers cannot be patient to win. They are so eager to win that they have to use more money to win. But most of them only lose until they spend their money and can't win at all. If the gambling game played by gamblers is a skill-based gambling game, they really need to learn the game and practice it so that their skills become better. But if they only gamble in luck-based gambling games, they don't need to practice their skills and can only hope that their luck will come more often when they are gambling. But it's not easy because no one knows when luck will come, and they can only continue gambling and have to limit their gambling games so they don't use up more money.

yes, that's true, if gambling could really give you easy wins, then there would be many people who would already be gambling and maybe gambling would have a positive perspective because it could make profits easily, but in reality gambling will only make someone addicted which can cost them money. all the money they have and maybe their savings too which they can use for gambling. With so many people nowadays gambling, I'm sure many of them will experience losses instead of getting profitable wins.

Is there perhaps a way to continue making profits from gambling? I think gambling only relies on luck, because in my opinion gambling is a paid game based on chance, where if we are lucky we can win, and if we don't have luck we will lose by losing the money we have. and if there was an accurate way to get continuous profits from gambling, perhaps many people would have won at gambling and there wouldn't be many rumors about gambling addiction or the negative impact of gambling, or anything else that is negative about gambling.

Regarding skills, it depends on the type of gambling, because in my opinion not all gambling requires good skills to be able to play it, there are gambling games that do not require skills such as slot gambling, where this game is played a lot by people nowadays, because it is easy to play. just click and wait for a good spin. On the other hand, there is gambling that requires skill to increase your chances of winning, such as poker gambling and others.

In my opinion, the defeat that many gamblers get is a big loss, because when they gamble, there is a big possibility of getting a defeat which is clearly a loss, it is rare for gamblers to win smoothly, I mean there are no gamblers who win easily. continuously, and with successful gamblers in my opinion you can say that you are an addict or you can say that you are not, because it is very rare for people who start gambling and then get big wins, and if there are those who are new to gambling but get big wins at gambling that can change their life I don't think they can be said to be an addict, because they are new to gambling and have already won big wins, and vice versa, if someone gets a big win after gambling for a long time then it is possible that they can be said to be an addict.

Depends on what type of gambling you are really that dealing with on which if you are really speaking about those dice and roulette games then there's no learning that you can get from that
or into those luck based games on which in compare into those sports betting then you can really learn something from it. In the essence or in talks about being an addict then this is where
people do usually ends up on the time that they do make themselves already that too impulsive on the way they do bet not mattering on what type of gambling as
long the money that you are really that using which is really that more than on the amount that you can afford to lose, then this one do really signifies problem.

That's what I always think, it's very strange when people bring the word "success" in gambling, because after all this is an activity that has no culmination of success, which means that gamblers will only rotate in the cycle between winning and losing, on the other hand if the word "success" is intended for other things such as businesses that are run by most people in general it makes sense because there is a process that must be passed first as a sacrifice for something bigger or achieving their dreams, but if you bring the assumption of success to the world of gambling then it is clearly quite strange and does not make sense.

The word "success" contradicts what addicts experience in reality and based on the fact that how can an addict who is always experiencing financial problems due to the impact of gambling be called a successful person? as you said that addicts are always synonymous with something negative in their gambling involvement, one of the clear evidence of the badness of an addict is that maybe you have seen some addicts who are desperate to commit acts out of control such as stealing or robbing because they run out of money to gamble, and that is also the reason why gambling has a negative viewpoint in the eyes of society in general.

As I have always said, we must as a matter of fact state at what we mean by being a successful gambler. We know that any gambler is liable to be addicted, on this premise if a gambler has been gambling for so many years and yet is not addicted that person can be said to be successful.
Another angle of reasoning is what is meant by being successful. If a gambler is not addicted and yet he does not make money from gambling we cannot say that he is successful.
So, we can say that a newbie gambler who has no experience in gambling but it's lucky to win huge amount of money and turns to a millionaire overnight is successful. You can therefore understand that being successful in gambling is subjective.

The gamblers easily get addicted to the gambling because of the loss occur in the gambling site.If the only winning was the results of the gambling site,all the gamblers will come to the gambling and make the money from the gambling and get away from the gambling.Gambling is not the tressure to loot by skipping the knowledge of others.It's the game,the possibility of the game was based on the game knowledge by the playing person.The gambler also need to increase the skills in order to make the continuous profit in the gambling site.The gambler should do the change of technique in the short duration of time.Because the algorithm to the gambling site will vary often.

yes, that's true, if gambling could really give you easy wins, then there would be many people who would already be gambling and maybe gambling would have a positive perspective because it could make profits easily, but in reality gambling will only make someone addicted which can cost them money. all the money they have and maybe their savings too which they can use for gambling.

Gambling is something we all do for one reason or the other, for some it's entertainment and for the others it's a form or means of generating money for their use whichever it is we all are still gambling but then you can't measure addiction by the time we we allocate for gambling alone, some addicts don't spend much time but they make sure to gamble everyday.

An addict who hasn't turned chronic yet and has got other levels of engagement usually don't gamble for long but they will make sure to gamble every day nonstop meanwhile the obvious addict who probably don't have other forms of engagement and probably spends all their time gambling will na look much like like the addict more than the other but they are both addicted with slight difference if the other gambling addict has nothing else to keep him busy and away from gambling often it's very likely they will look like the obvious gambler.

We must be able to use gambling as entertainment and just let it be if there are people who want to use gambling for other purposes. We cannot force people to use gambling as entertainment either because we come to casinos with different purposes.
When someone can gamble for a short time, they will not become addicted, but in fact, they already have the seeds of gambling addiction within themselves, but they can still control it well. That's what we have to do when gambling so that we don't sink into gambling and end up becoming gambling addicts.
Many people have ended up becoming gambling addicts and it's all because they gamble without having self-control. And they also spend more money than other gamblers so they get excessive pleasure.

It is also an addiction because we will return to gambling, especially since we feel happy when we play it.
We don't think much about the possibility of winning or losing that will be the result because we want to gamble in our spare time. And if that's what you think, you are addicted but you only gamble when you are free.
This means that you can still control yourself and determine when you will gamble, and you don't have to gamble immediately without thinking about whether you have free time or busy time.

Its fascinating, right? How people gamble differently. Some see it as an exciting hobby, others as a business opportunity. Gambling's complexity has often puzzled me. A world where entertainment meets aspiration, right?

You're right about addiction. Addiction can creep in quietly. Gamblers who sneak a game every day may not seem as engrossed as those who spend hours at it, yet their addiction may be just as strong.

I suppose we can add some positivity by saying gambling's fun! I feel a good gambling relationship is essential. Awareness, ethical gaming, and knowing the fine line between fun and addiction are crucial.

There are also a huge number of the population that doesn't really gamble. Maybe they have done it a couple of times in their lives only.

When someone is deeply inside gambling, they might think that it's normal, but in reality it is not the same for everyone.

It helps to think about other addiction that you don't have, like smoking, drinking, etc. You can see many people doing it, but you don't do it.

if you can deal well with something that is hard and maybe addictive, if it makes you happy and you make money and it's not a problem for you... is it an addiction?
that's a really interesting topic that can get quite deep, I'd be curious to hear more people's opinions on this

what do you think?

If you can deal well with whatever activity it is you’re doing despite it having a good chance of becoming an addiction, then you’re still safe.
You make enough money to comfortably sustain your habits and fulfill your desires and it’s not causing any problems for you(yet). It’s not an addiction. An addiction would almost certainly bring problems into your life as your life is now controlled by that activity.

I think the scenario you described is how everyone likely starts out. But along the way, a lot divert the towards the addiction way and get lost making it difficult to find their way back.

As I have always said, we must as a matter of fact state at what we mean by being a successful gambler. We know that any gambler is liable to be addicted, on this premise if a gambler has been gambling for so many years and yet is not addicted that person can be said to be successful.
Another angle of reasoning is what is meant by being successful. If a gambler is not addicted and yet he does not make money from gambling we cannot say that he is successful.
So, we can say that a newbie gambler who has no experience in gambling but it's lucky to win huge amount of money and turns to a millionaire overnight is successful. You can therefore understand that being successful in gambling is subjective.

The gamblers easily get addicted to the gambling because of the loss occur in the gambling site.If the only winning was the results of the gambling site,all the gamblers will come to the gambling and make the money from the gambling and get away from the gambling.Gambling is not the tressure to loot by skipping the knowledge of others.It's the game,the possibility of the game was based on the game knowledge by the playing person.The gambler also need to increase the skills in order to make the continuous profit in the gambling site.The gambler should do the change of technique in the short duration of time.Because the algorithm to the gambling site will vary often.

A successful gambler is rarely considered as addicted they are not fully addicted they have enough experience that they win gambling games and fall under the category of successful gamblers. Gamblers who cannot sustain success after winning become greedy and become addicted. Successful gamblers know enough about how to protect their funds. Gambling has been involved for a long time and their practice is very good. At the end of the day they are successful gamblers and do not have addiction problems due to proper practice.

It could be that successful gamblers do not experience addiction because they have experience in how to overcome addiction, which can come at any time. A successful gambler knows what to do when he has been gambling for a long time and he will choose to stop gambling rather than lose his money.
This is what differentiates successful gamblers from most gamblers because successful gamblers can overcome everything that would have a bad impact on them. They have more experience than most gamblers so they can decide what to do.

if you can deal well with something that is hard and maybe addictive, if it makes you happy and you make money and it's not a problem for you... is it an addiction?
that's a really interesting topic that can get quite deep, I'd be curious to hear more people's opinions on this
