Actually in this condition I quite don't understand how the category of addicts in this case is even though we can control our condition in gambling and don't feel anything when we lose because we realize that it's a risk but that doesn't mean we are not addicts when we do it repeatedly.
The addict's condition is to do it regularly, it doesn't matter if it's big or small in gambling, but as long as I'm still gambling, I still think it's an addict and I'm like that too. Regardless of being disturbed or not in financial condition as long as you are still gambling, it means that we are all addicts.
Addiction is a gradual process. So, for example if you gamble once in a while, say once every couple of years, then it would be safe to say you are not addicted to gambling.
Same with alcohol for example. If you just drink alcohol at a few events where they serve it, say weddings, etc, then of course you are not addicted. But if you plan your life around alcohol, then yes, you are addicted.
Same with gambling, if you start planning around it, then you're probably addicted to it.
