Gambling addiction is process in which an individual cannot control their urge in gambling even when they tend to lose. They are willing to sacrifice their most valuable assets with the hope of winning. A story was told of a young man in my community who used his only son for gambling because he was so addicted that he can't do without gambling in a day. he can do anything when it comes to gambling. I also know people who are wealthy today through gambling. So, is it wrong to be too addicted to gambling? how can it be control or how can one manage gambling?
Let's take food for instance. Food is very necessary for any living thing to function well. Without food, we might even die but, this same food which is very necessary for our survival can become a problem to us if we begin to eat a certain kind of food excessively and more often than normal. Same food which is good for us becomes poisonous to our body when we take them in excess through addiction. People get addicted to their jobs, making money, gadgets, movies etc and these addictions often cause negative effects to them. No form of addiction is good.Same applies to gambling. Gambling is only sweet when we win. Gambling too often than usual will give us the chance to taste losses too and these experiences are not always sweet. Even if you are in most cases lucky with your games, other aspects of your personal life will get affected negatively. Giving all your time and resources to gambling is never a good idea anyone should ponder over.
