It is not that easy to stay away from gambling as its made like that to make you more addictive in each of your wins but if you can have control over yourself then off course one day you will be able to stay away from it for sure

Yeah, gambling is extremely addictive but on the other hand, really fun as well. Gambling is completely voluntary, and shouldn't be blamed upon the houses and the casinos for the addiction.

If you have the willpower to stop gambling, then you can. But if you don't it's like a drug, you just can't get rid of it.

Gambling is worse than drugs because if you are addicted to it you will literally become bankrupt. In drugs you only use a small amount of money to enjoy your addicted but in gambling you can even bet millions if you are not thinking straight.

Drugs is better than gambling, are you sure? When you get addicted to drugs you can bankrupt as well because you will always need to buy it and it is not cheap, and dont forget that you are risking your life because you may die because of drugs.
So I have to disagree that drugs is better than gambling.

Drugs and gambling addiction are both bad to a person. Actually, any addiction can be bad to a person because too much of something can do more harm than good. Drugs and gambling addiction does not just destroy financial status but also emotional and social capability of a person. Replacing one with the other is a bad idea. So, it is better quit on those two before you get addicted and ruin your life.

I think he is only identifying the difference between the two. Admittedly, both are really bad if you are addicted to it because I was once addicted to all and it really brings nothing good into my life. I am now a changed mind because of the help of my family to completely quit, but as an investor I cannot help my self to invest in gambling sites as I know how profitable it is.

I get your point, you can buy drugs constantly depends on how much you need to get pleasure every time you using it, so you will stop if you get satisfied, and in other side, in gambling, it totally depends on your greediness, so you won't stop until you lose everything. But overall, drugs have worse effect, which you could risk your life literally, not only financially.

I'm pretty sure most people who gamble aren't addicts and even addicts aren't that crazy, only a few people get to that really super addicted point where they could even sell their house to gamble but those are special cases and if someone is willing to sell his house to gamble then he is an idiot, not just an addict.

Gambling is risky, and if you constantly feel a strong urge to take risk, maybe you should try extreme sports...

Think how much you can lose gambling. There are many nice things you can do with your money, and you are losing everything with gambling, think about it. Buy something that will entertain you, so you won't have reasons to think about gambling again.

Yes, when you have a budget for your luxurious (possibly) life, then you could not find some extra money to gamble. I believe this will prevent you to go gambling again and again. This way we can stay away from gambling with a proper financial management.

But when a gambler are run out of money, most of them are going for loans for gambling bankroll. In the situation of they have tight finance problems, many gamblers are going in wrong way like selling their properties or getting loan to continue their gambling. These are some examples of consequences of gambling additions.

That's why gamblers must stay away from being addicted to gambling, because we can't say it. Even you have the funds for your gambling.
When you run out of funds when you are losing for sure you are going to be more emotional and always been wanted to look for things or money,
just to satisfy your gambling needs.

Gambling is fun if you only consider it as pure entertainment. To be honest, I really enjoy gambling but sometimes when I lose it is just really to accept especially when the amount at stake is material to me. We can only stay away in gambling if we let that out into our life, maybe making yourselves busy with your work and give time more to your family and friends.

Well, if you are on drugs you can also be bankrupt. I think gambling is better than drugs at least in the sense that with gambling you can control yourself mentally while with drugs you're under an influence and isn't able to think clearly.

You can buy millions of dollars worth of drugs, too.

That is the most stupid way for a desperate gambler when comes a time that he will take loans in order to continue gambling. Next to that will be bankruptcy because of the one's fault to let gambling dictate their lives.

You cannot under estimate the will powerbof a human being. But even a strong willed person will have a hard time quitting gambling once he is addicted to it. It is hard to fight a habit. It will always find ots way to go back to your system. So, it is better to seek professional help of you want to get rid of gambling problems.

The thing is professional help isn't an answer in most cases. How many people did really stop gambling after so called "professional help "? I don't know any. Maybe I'm wrong, I'd like to see an evidence that I'm wrong here.

what? :O how did you even come up with that?
drug addiction or substance abuse in general leads to much more problems which are also bigger problems. it also will lead to physical in addition to mental problems when you are using these substances.

gambling in comparison is nothing! you are just having a control issue even if you are a gambling addict. something that is easily fixable.

The control is the common problem of the gamblers here, because of the love of money or should I say greediness they want to gamble even 24/7 letting their bot operate the betting, the end result always a lost. If you win then you still go back because you want for more.

It is not easy to stay away from the game when you're an addict. There are many people who think it's easy. But you have to keep trying. See more help videos for addicts , read some posts self help. A very good book for those who like to read is "The Power of Habit".

Yes and there are also hotlines to talk to previous addicts and people who can get you in the right path to help. It's summer so you can go walk around every time you feel like gambling to keep your mind off of it. Plus that will make you healthier

In the summer is easy actually, you just book a nice vacation if you have a normal salary if you are from USA or EU country and go to some cheap place like Thailand and keep your mind away from gambling. I would give this a try if I am too addicted to gambling, a person should try anything just to get itself off gambling.
