I'm confused and looking for answers
If you are lonely, can you have interest in gambling simply because of your loneliness?
Loneliness is one of the major fuel of addiction because there must first be a hunger to feel a vacuum and the only way to best loneliness is to engage yourself in something and if gambling is the only available activities for that purpose, tthat means the individual will tend to depend and rely on it, just like every other form of addictive activities, if taking as excessive quest it could result into addiction as easy as possible.
How would you judge someone who says they don't gamble because it's fun, is that a sign of a gambling addiction?
For sure i see anyone that have gamble outside fun to be an addicts based on their actions and how excessive the push for their gambling quest such as staking an amount that affects their financial life because they are chasing the big winning and targeting the money, this minset have set many up for posible addictios, but sometime many of them will not agree with the fact that they are already addicted by taken such decisions to gamble other than to have fun.
Really i havent meet any addicts that say or accept he/she is an addicts just like madness no mad man accept they mad but those who are good mental state can identify a mad person from their characters and addiction, same with addictions,
If you are making $600 a day, that's $20000 in a month, and because you are only you start having interest to gamble, what do you think this is?
First, is not possible to make stable and steady amount from gambling, so no way to make $600 daily from gambling and having such possibilities in mind as a gamblers, just know that you already setting yourself up for possible addiction, because you are already chasing a direction with that choice.
All these questions is been asked because someone close said all these and I think he are losing money and losing himself too, of all the discussions we had, these are the points I held unto.
That is possible case of addiction if he be losing money and still gambling.
Later he open up to have been using $500 for gambling per day, he said all these started when his wife left him, and that he isn't into gambling at all, but I can't ask why his wife left him in the first place, but does loneliness make people become addicted to gambling or it's something else.
100% fact and he already using gambling to replace the vacuum created by the departure of his wife, and now he is already addicted to gambling.
