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.

I don’t think everyone who does gambling is addicted because of loneliness and dissatisfaction. Orhers do it for recreation and self enjoyment. The feeling of satisfaction upon winning a game cannot be measured by any means. Addendum to that excitement in winning is the fact that you double your money in your money pot which will prolong your time in the gambling house.

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.

Drugs and gambling are very different from each other but they are also same because it is both addicting. "gambling addiction mainly due to loneliness and dissatisfaction?" No I dont think so. As of my experience we become addicted to gambling because we become greed and we become tempted of this thing. We want to win the big price. Gambling is money. Money is temptation.

Drugs and gambling is of course very different from each other but people keep distance from such people who are drugs or gambling addictors. Nobody wants relationship with them, because they are the worst people of the society. They have no positive role in gambling. Loneliness and dissatisfaction is good for them to take lessons from their activities and bad habits.

Yeah it is 100% true that those people who have no or very little interaction with the community become addicted of drugs, because they think that they can feel relaxation while they take drugs. That why doctors told about such a person that we should not leave drug addictor alone and should engage him in some social activity. The same is here with gambling addictor

I don't think that for gambling addiction, I think loneliness and dissatisfaction is the result not the reason.

Gambling addiction actually takes place due to money if you win some, or see some other winning you would also like to win the amount and thus in anticipation of winning you keep on playing and either keep on losing and then to recover the money you would play and in this process addiction gets heavy on the person.

I think being addicted is for many reasons not just losing money and wanting to recover or gain profits and want to get bigger profits. I think the reason is not only that. and I think loneliness is also the reason someone can become an addict. they don't know what activities they have to do because they are lonely? and he continues to repeat gambling just to not be lonely

In my opinion, I think many of the new gamblers do experience at some extent the conjoint forces of both loneliness and dissatisfaction and now that gambling can be done online more easily what greater way to combat these symptoms?

Gambling is different from the drug, and every people has their own reasons in life. Maybe gambling addiction is also because luck of financial needs that's why there are some people that are trying to get some profit with gambling or maybe they are too bored so they want to have some extra activity. Drugs cannot make money if we use it, it cannot make us win a jackpot, while in gambling we have a chance to win a jackpot but there is no assurance at all. Being lonely and dissatisfaction cannot make us addicted to gambling.

Asides from that, being lonely and in a state of depression even makes it so impossible for you to have the right mindset and be able to think straight as a person and that sets in room for a lot of crazy emotional decisions that usually lead people into doing what they are not supposed to do. For someone that is already depressed, gambling can even make the person more depressed.

It can and it will. Losing money does not make a person happy unless they mentally retarded. The ones who gamble for making money would actually lose money and become depressed. So this can lead to the person getting addicted and thus in the addicted gambler maybe the addiction is fueled by the dissatisfaction and depression.

However a person who is clinically depressed would remain secluded and not attempt social exposure. Thats why it seems contradictory for gambling (which is a social event) to be the cause of depression.

It is right that with depressed mind it is not possible to win the bet and the result will be always in favor of the opponents. In my opinion a depressed, lonely and dishearten person should spend his time in watching a comedy movie or visit a relative if he has no friend. By this way he can reduce his dissatisfaction. Gambling is not for depressed person.

I believe this is the maximum number of people stay with the gambling field. I see the people invested on the gambling for their entertainment purposes mostly. If you check the reasons for it. Hopefully they may not happy with their works or anything buddy.
We need to make ourself happy apart from the loneliness or any such bullshits. For these kind of sad time if we go to gambling finally nothing will be in your hand. Please play well for some enjoyment alone no more greediness or anything on gambling investments.

If someone starts gambling for the reason for their lonliness then it will leads to the addiction at some point so they don't have to gamble when they are not mentally strong it can affect their winning percentage too in some games.To get away from lonliness there are lot of motivational thing we can do which can help others as well.

Yeah maybe some players have that reason, but of course not all of them use that reason why they gamble. some players have different goals and mostly because they are looking for impressions/fun and looking for profit, yeah you're right when you gamble because of loneliness it might be bad to you, like being an addict because loneliness is looking for an impingement you know, maybe they will become addicts because of that.

I also do the same. I never use gambling for making money, because I think it is not a business in which I can make money. I just use gambling for fun and entertainment. If you do the same you will never fell loneliness and will never be frustrated. When you understand that it is enough and leave the casino then you will be mentally relaxed because your gambling purpose is not making money.

Well it's situational. When people are down, they tend to look to other things to keep themselves preoccupied. Some travel, some engage in sports, and there are those whi find comfort in gambling. It's not the main factor for getting addicted but it's one way to get there.

No I don’t think so because there are many peoples who gamble just because they are gambling addictors and they don’t matter what they feel. Gambling is not the solution for dissatisfaction and loneliness. For these two things friends gathering are the best solution. Gambling is the worst thing and if such a person loses his money in gambling, then imagine what would be his situation.

You know that most of the time, loneliness on its own is a very terrible psychological state of the mind and for someone who is in this spot, I am sure, trying to find a means or something to stir up that loneliness into excitement and decided to pick on gambling can set the person up easily into making the most terrific mistake when it comes to being able to control their impulses. These are the kind of people that will always get easily engrossed, find it hard to stop when they know they should and certainly can lead to addiction. If gambling is a solution for loneliness and dissatisfaction then its addiction is the obvious results for the people who opt for it. Because addiction is the result of persisting with gambling, no one could stop nor prevent that from happening if sticking within that.

I personally am not sure of that research, because I know better if drug addicts are among rich people and most of them have a good family in the eyes of their neighbors, the research is not wrong, because it does not rule out the possibility of depressed people becoming addicts too . But the problem of gambling addicts, I'm sure it can be stopped with the awareness and common sense they have. As long as they don't want to think for the future to be better and continue to be in a circle of gambling, then it will also be difficult to go and stop.

Okay, but let's take a look below the surface. Why exactly are we tempted? Because we think we need more money to be happy. And why do we think that? Because we are not happy at the moment. So, if you were satisfied with your life and were feeling no loneliness or, in other words, you were feeling happy, you wouldn't think that you need more money to be happy, and hence the chances of becoming addicted gambler would be very small. Just think of the source of temptation and you'll see that in most cases it's dissatisfaction with your life.

Loneliness and dissatisfaction are just two states of the mind, but this does not mean they simply will always be the cause of an addiction and that does not mean they cannot.

There is something about life, one thing usually lead to another and from there, you may even find yourself getting addicted by thinking you can find solace in gambling as a result of loneliness or some form of dissatisfaction on certain things, while thinking that you will just simply get out from it because of gambling. That is more like moving from frying pan into fire and that mindset you are bringing already can take you through the wrong path if you are not careful.

Yeah, especially in my country here. People keep distance on a person who is drugs addict and gambler addict. That's why i rather gamble at online, so no one knows but i'm not addicted on gambling.

I think loneliness can be a factor why a person gambling.

Well, they are judgmental people if they treat you that way. It's not nice to do that but not accepting them, is also wrong. If you have a family member who is addicted, wouldn't you help them? It's just like that, having someone to stay away from is right for yourself but not as a whole, you'll never know if you could help someone out.

With gambling online, it's better also not be known that you are doing it but it's still a great thing if you win. You could treat your friends, when winning a significant amount.

Various reasons someone is addicted to gambling, perhaps the most is because by gambling we can get money quickly in large amounts (that is if we are lucky) Grin

. Everyone has their own reasons for continuing to gamble.

What about the people who end up losing money - they should get "deaddicted" if we go according to your logic. But its not so in reality. The addiction to gambling comes from the inherent greed and gluttony we have inside everyone. It makes us think that luck is on our side and is stimulated by the casinos advertisements.

So in order to prevent addiction, one should control these emotions and make sure they dont get affected by them. However many people do gamble for fun and entertainment only which if kept in control wont make the person addicted.

Yeah! Gambling addiction is mainly as a result of the way people perceived gambling before they even started gambling at all. Gambling has a way of fine-tuning your emotions, your impulse to do something, your principle to a way that will never favor you and it is only left for you as an individual to be able to know all these things right from the onset, find a way to curtail and if you cannot, just stay away. Loneliness or dissatisfaction resulting to addiction is something that would just seem like an excuse for a gambler.

Those who feel they are lonely should be able to do other things to kill their boredom as it does not have to be gambling. Asides from that, being lonely and in a state of depression even makes it so impossible for you to have the right mindset and be able to think straight as a person and that sets in room for a lot of crazy emotional decisions that usually lead people into doing what they are not supposed to do. For someone that is already depressed, gambling can even make the person more depressed.

I think of the only people by wanting to be with other people. It’s just like they want to have friends but they don’t have any and resulting to depression just like you said. Once they found something that is there for them, it would addicting of some sort, then it would serve as the happiness factor in their lives but once disappointed, they would go straight to loneliness again. It is never ending.
