one day i asked people who consume alcoholic beverages why do they drink a lot and exaggerate? the answer they gave me was this: we drink a lot to forget about problems. But I saw them drinking every day and their life did not seem to be a bad life, on the contrary they were having a good life and even so they continued to drink under the argument that they are drinking because they want to forget their problems. When people become addicted they start using the argument that they want to hide their problems because they don't want to admit that they are addicted
Judging someone by what you "seem" to see seems to be wrong to me. A person can have a lot of pent up problems and a person can also live while hiding those problems from the naked eye of others. Here's the thing, addiction is something that happens when someone is in deep sht and they tend to remove themselves from reality. Hard. Saying the excuse of to drink to forget problems doesn't necessarily mean that one is addicted or anything of the like. Its still completely under debate imo, and it's pretty much up to the person themselves to judge if they are really addicted or not.
I'm not highly recommended to play gambling when you are not mentally stable because you can not make good decisions instead of having a lot of mistakes and easily anger because of the decisions you made. We all know that we have a lot of problems and if you want to take care of the things you should have you do not pressure your self about things happen. In gambling, it gives a lot of pressure to you because it is good because it can cause damage to you again and now you cannot make good decisions because you are now slowly feeling desperate and experiencing depression towards having anxiety. Better to play gambling if you are now fully prepared with your mental, emotional and physical state.
The pressure isn't really a negative thing. Being under pressure can actually help you develop mentally imo, just that, it's only that. It doesn't really help in anything emotional hence, when people start being emotional, they tend to forget the pressure. They don't really feel anything and just act based on emotions, not on pressure. It should probably be emotionally unstable instead of mentally I think.
