some gambling cases could be due to loneliness , but majority don't . people get addicted to drugs to escape away from reality , they don't want to face their troubles in life . So addiction leads to loneliness not the other way ! .
I think this kind of discussion needs a supervision of a suitable specialist not on forums where anyone can say random words.

Random words like the one you said? What a way to set an example, Roll Eyes

Do you realize that what you said is contradicting? You said that people get addicted to substance because they want to "escape reality and they don't want to face their troubles in life". This means that they were lonely and afraid in the first place. They have a problem. People cope using drugs and gambling because it's the way they cope with the problems which doesn't really make sense since it only gives you even more problems.

May be some people have the same mentality and believe on it, but I think that it cannot be the main reason for which they start playing gambling. I think that there are a lot of other reasons that make people convince to start playing gambling.

I think not forever that thing is the reason why they start gambling and become addicts, many people start gambling because of fad
and when they win then they become greedy and want to win again, you know that gambling makes almost anyone become greedy right

I see dudes spending hours and hours in front of slot machines (or computer screens doesn't matter much). I can associate this kind of addiction with gaming addiction. There are many similarities. Except when you gamble you usually spend your money (I say "usually" because I believe it is optional) too in addition to your time. Gaming addiction looks a bit less harmful if you think that way. Anyway both of those addicts usually have one thing in common: Loneliness. They don't know how to pass time, they do it by staring at some screen.

Sometimes people don't give a fuck about money though. They exactly know how they'll be screwing themselves by playing but they do it anyway. That's indeed dissatisfaction. These are usually old people who got almost everything they wanted from life. They got friends, family, too much money, yachts, everything. They are just trying to die. Because that's the only thing left interesting for them death. They wonder what happens after dying so they are fast forwarding time. Grin

Youre right cause we have the case of some people who have all what it take to live an expensive life but still feel lonely and what most of them usually do is spending their time on casino, horse race betting, going to music concert etc. But gambling addict is a vice-versa cause we also have some people which loneliness and dissatisfaction was not the cause of their addiction.

On rich people then this would be a typical case but only on small percentage where people do spend their time and money just to seek out that pleasure that they do seek without minding on losing money as long they do enjoy. Going on the other side on other or on most gamblers they do play out gamble for the sake of money, entertainment and also no matter what would be your reason there would always be a tendency for you to get addicted and too much addiction will lead into a miserable life no matter how much money you do had.

Real talk! I really agree with what you said because too much of something is not good even if it is water which is why balancing things maturely is important thing every gambler must apply as their rules and regulations in other to avoid been miserable or despondent.

Everyone is different and has different reasons for taking up gambling, and possibly becoming a gambling addict. Some people think of it as a way to make money to pay bills and end up addicted. Others might look at it as a means of escaping from reality, a bad home, a sad life, etc and end up addicted. There must be 1001 reasons out there.

Yesterday I watched a video about addiction on youtube: https://youtu.be/ao8L-0nSYzg. It was a real surprise to me that according to recent research people are addicted to drugs mainly because they can't bond well with people and are not able to live a satisfying life. The research shows that when an addicted person appears in a loving and caring environment, the addiction kind of disappears (even heroin addiction). I wonder what are your thoughts on this matter and whether you think you could say the same about gambling addiction.

We have our own ways on how to ignore our own lives, if we hate the reality, we will find a way on how not to live with that kind of life we have. I don't gamble but my way on ignoring the reality is to focus on this forum, I'm just in my room reading stuffs here, joining signature campaign and post my opinions about things, that is how I let out all of the depressions that I have in me everyday, I just keep on repeating those things that I have mentioned, and I'm always giving myself some quality time to refresh my mind so I could go on.

Though it is not always a positive way for everybody, just like what you've said, others are addicted to drugs, in gambling, and other bad things in this world, and I think that is not a good way to escape the reality, you are just destroying yourself by that.

Most of the times, people are just running away from their real problems. They find an easy escape from their troubles in gambling and drugs for some moment. Definitely, it does not solve the problems rather work like a multiplier which increases problems. However, not everyone has guts to stand up and look in the face of life. It takes some time before a bird learns to fly.

In my view, those issues could add up to the problem, but it is not necessarily general. I heard stories about wealthy people with families to lose basically everything gambling. There are many aspects, and every situation can differ a bit.

Everything may happen, as most of the people say in our country, life will surprise you. There are a lot of rich people addicted to gambling but I don't think it will come to a time that they will be losing it.

Most of the rich people has a lot of investments, lots of sources of income so I don't think losing some money on gambling will eat that all up unless they are really addicted or into it.

A man who belong to a backward country can understand the situation better. people mostly addicted to gambling and drugs because they become disappointed in the society by finding job.

That means they have moral values and nobody taught them importance of moral values in life. If a person finds solace in drugs because of "poverty" in their country then they need to mend their ways. Life is tough for everyone. What might seem rosey red to you might not be so for another person. Even the person living in a high class society have their problems to deal with. So end of the day its all safe - what differs is how you tackle the situation and gambling is definitely not one of the methods to tide over it.

Quote

some people become addicted because of their company having such friends who are already addicted to gambling and they motive their friends for playing gambling.

That is a correct statement. Peer pressure can make a person sign up but it is their choice whether they want to play or not. So again its the moral values of life. Wink

It is indeed true. People that don't have that much social life and doesn't interact with other people like having a decent conversation, a little chit-chat about the things in life and so on are mostly the people who could be easily addicted on something bad, the reason why is because they think that their life is useless, they are worthless person who don't deserve to live because nobody loves them.

And we can't blame them if that is what they are thinking, the only solution for that is to let them know that there are people out there who are willing to help them, to hear them out, to be their crying-shoulder, to be someone who could they trust, it will not be an easy job, but I think that is the only way to save them.

I think that was harsh. You never know if someone is being loved or not and at least the Creator loves everyone. Besides, hackers are alone people too most of the times and it is not like they are desperate for love of others because they love their work. There are many gambling addicts out there who are rich guys and play this game for enjoyment alone.

Yes, I don't believe that gambling addicts are lonely, maybe some of them are lonely but we can't generalize like that for all. As you said, some of rich people gamble just for fun.

you are right, maybe they want to play the game only, and I am sure that there is any reason behind of this and perhaps it's not because of loneliness and dissatisfaction. but if they are playing gambling because of that, then they need to leave the gambling place as soon as possible because he will lose their money and they will become an addicting person.

Indeed, even by the fact every person has a different personality, he could become addicted just by a friend request or who knows / maybe some bet on trying to not become an addict? Cheesy

There are different causes and reason why people may turn to gambling as a means of coping with or blocking out difficult events or problems in their life. Some gambling addicts may simply gamble as an escape from the outside world. Addiction in general is considered a pathological coping mechanism used for escaping from current or past problems. It is one way to escape from loneliness and disappointments in life but it needs to be corrected because gambling is not a good habit that we must not misinterpret.

Yes that is right that different people have different reasons for starting gambling. Here different people have different stories about their gambling activities. to me i started gambling because of my friend who is addicted. i first start gambling on cricket matches and really make good profit in very beginning and therefore i think that now i am addicted to gambling.

I think it depends on the person who are addicted to gambling, some of them are just too greedy in easy money that is why they are addicted to gambling, some of them may do gambling to spend their time, and some of them maybe lonely or dissatisfied. It always depends on the gambler.

some gambling cases could be due to loneliness , but majority don't . people get addicted to drugs to escape away from reality , they don't want to face their troubles in life . So addiction leads to loneliness not the other way ! .
I think this kind of discussion needs a supervision of a suitable specialist not on forums where anyone can say random words.

It's still better to discuss with this kind of issues to also help other gamblers to narrow down the main issue of being lonely which leads to addiction. Addiction is a serious matter which needs to be handled by some specialist and you definitely right with your concern.

But first step must be taken from these gamblers. If they don’t make their minds clear and they can’t even decide what to do and when to do, how can be they able to remit this gambling thing from their minds. First, they should define the wrong and right in their minds. Believe me this would let them find gambling as the worst ever game played by human race. Good luck everyone.
