Gambling is something like a company that keeps me forgetting difficulties. I hope all people would see it like that and never get addicted to it because it is hard to recover.
Gambling is an entertainment. Entertainment like you spend ours after ours watching youTube. It's an entertainment like watching a one and half hour movie without break. It's in our nature that we don't want to get bore in our life. When people don't have much things to keep themselves busy then they get into bed habits like smoking and gambling.

By seeing myself I can say that addiction is strongly correlated with Loneliness or sadness. I can see myself gambling when I don't have something to do or I am at home watching sports and betting on matches. Also, I have felt that I gamble when I am sad and I want to make an achievement for me even if this is winning a bet and getting some money (even if this sounds funny!).
Another example was that I was gambling a lot when I faced a relationship break up. It made me not thinking about other things and kept me busy.

So, you are gambling out of loneliness or sadness, but you never become addicted, right? I'm glad for you, and I think it is possible to achieve for others too. That's what gambling should be for, at least for some people, to get rid of loneliness and sadness in your life. I think winning is not necessary in such situations because what matters most is the game itself. Imo it's much better to lose $10 in gambling than to buy a bottle of vodka with it and drink it down out of loneliness.

I am not really into gambling and I do do betting in around 2010 and since I lose heavily I have not come back into it. Remember that gambling is one of the way to make money and I don't think loneliness has anything to do with gambling. Why people feel addicted was because we all want to be rich.
Indeed, greed and desire to become rich are the main causes of many people becoming addicted to gambling and unable to stop, although loneliness and dissatisfaction can lead a person to gambling and become addicted but the rate for this case is very low. And if we discover these cases, we should try to help them, when they can eliminate loneliness, they will return to normal life, for gambling addicts because of greed and desire for wealth and recovery from gambling, the help of others is useless, they are the best medicine, if they do not want to give up, no one can help them January 08, 2019, 06:44:23 AM

Exactly. I have never been addicted and I will never be. I play in order to fight my difficult situations and always I place small bets because deep inside I am aware that I won't be rich with that.

No. People who want to have some money are the one who spent time in gambling with addiction. We people don't care gambling at all. I sometime play whenever I wish. I also don't play a bigger bet. I have been in gambling for the last 2-3 years. Don't play regularly but I never felt like addicted.
Good for you if until now you are still not involve too much and addiction never conquer you, we do have our own reasons maybe its common for those who are lonely to be more engaged and ended up being addicted, but there's also some who can manage to let this activity as part of social life and being responsible not to allow any bad effects of this activity.

That's good, and you have a good start as myself. I don't gamble for a long time, and if I think it's enough, I will leave the site as soon as possible because I don't want to see more losses. It is enough to get a loss on that day, and it's better to stop and continue in the other chance. And when we can prevent from play regularly, I think it will help us to prevent from addicting too.

From my experience, my deep involvement into gambling happened when I was very lonely. I used to gamble, but not much time over the same. Over a short term I was very lonely, and by that time I entered gambling. This lead me to earn as well loss big in less time period. Understanding what need to be done, I limited myself and got out of addiction and now I'm a regular gambler and not an addictive gambler.

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.
Drug addiction is different to gambling addiction because in drugs the satisfactions came only for the drugs and the feelings this can bring and no chances of gaining money,but you are right about them not being loved or lacking of communication from the people closes to them.because i have a brother that use to be a illegal drug dependent but he managed to get over with the help of us his familyWhile in gambling addiction is aside from the feeling and satisfaction you get when winning there is a stake of money we can have,so the two are different thing,but both are bad for the people and in the community as well

I dont know if other people is like that but thats not my case. My life does not that perfect but im satisfied in it. I only gamble whenever i want and do it just for fun and leisure. Greedyness contributes a lot on gambling addiction rather than loneliness and dissatisfaction. I dont think gambling satisfies them if thats the case.
Maybe it happens for some people who don't have many activities in their life, and they don't have any friends too. So they go to the gambling place to spend their time and trying to play some game because of someone asking him to join the game. And in the end, his friends will only on the gambling place, and he likes to spend his time playing gambling.
This is definitely the case with some gamblers, but it is not necessary that they don't have any friends apart from those hanging out on gambling sites. For example, all their friends can be out of town at a certain point, or the gambler himself can be at work where his job is something like checking premises once per hour and sitting all alone waiting until another hour passes. During such times some people watch movies and TV series, and others prefer to gamble and talk with other gamblers in chat.
People who engage with gambling out of greed normally become gambling addicts, but according to statistics there are less than 3% of such people.
Yeah, it could happen with that person too because he needs something to spend his time and not feel bored in his jobs. I think if this is the case, it's not a problem if he spends his loneliness by playing gambling and I don't think that his loneliness will become addicting in gambling although the chance will always there. As long as he can preventing to play for a long time and he can control his greed, I am sure that he won't be an addicted person in gambling.

It should be perfectly if you are not wasting money or time in it. When it becomes excess then it becomes a problem. Whether there is any fun in it is your choice to gamble. If you find it fun then its good for you. No need to overthink it and make things complicated. Always make sure you have fun and enjoy what you are doing.Quote

Greed is what drives a gambler. Its the force that makes them chase after losses and deposit more because they think they can make more if they keep playing after a loss. They forget that the house will win in the long run and small profits should always be taken out as soon as possible. January 03, 2019, 11:02:04 AM

addiction is still adiction no matter how safe or dangerous it is and i dont believe that it is caused by loneliness or disatisfaction but it is only caused by your own liking . now in the case of gambling , we can still play it and choose to not be addicted to it by doing some self controlling methods such as limiting your self and diverting your self onto some other things that is more important .
I don't think there is any thing known as safe addiction. Any kind of addiction is harmful, since you start to deviate yourself from being natural. Anything addicting is always harmful in one way or the other. Dissatisfaction is actually one of the cause of addiction. If people lose in gambling they are dissatisfied and thus tries to gamble more to get some satisfaction. Once they start winning, they start craving for more thus eventually becomes addicted.It is not that easy to control or divert yourself to something else. Best thing to do is, if you realize that you are getting addicted, then just keep yourself away from that activity before its too late.
Maybe they think gambling is a way of making money that's why they have to gamble and not just for fun.
Even though we know the possible addiction or consequence that it can give but people do still proceed no matter what. Even myself do have other choices on how to enjoy myself and gambling is just
an another option.
