Those are probably addicts who are addicted to substance or alcohol. But how come those people are going to steal from you and gamblers won't? I don't understand since gamblers feed on burning money in order to gain more money. What's a better scenario than them being in a place where they can take someone else's money without that person's knowledge and be able to gamble with it? I have met some substance and alcohol abusers in the past and they take pride on being an addict but they can afford it.

Gamblers, on the other hand, no matter how rich they are, they can never afford gambling. Some would think that a rich person can gamble and lose money but not worry about it because he's rich, but what happens when he starts betting higher? The higher the bets, the more thrilling it is to gamble. What happens when the person starts going all in, starts gambling with the things he owns (properties, cars, etc)?

Honestly, I would be able to stay under the same roof with people that are addicted to substance. They are just people like you. The only difference is that they are using gambling, drugs, and alcohol to escape reality. If you don't do that, then I'm proud of you. I'm proud that you don't have to resort to doing those things. But you have to understand that this people are just trying to carry on with their lives without destroying anything but themselves. They are not to be disgusted of.

I mean seriously, living life with a gambler can have its major downfalls, but I can think of many other types of addicts that I would 100% not be able to share a roof with.
Gamblers won't steal from you to gamble; unlike a drug addict who will steal and lie to get their next fix.

yes, it is better to search on other sources to earn money because we can get the money and we can also collect the money and I think we have a small risk if we can get that jobs. so in the gambling, we need to handle our emotion to not become frustrated and like you say, gambling is only a ways to enjoy our free time but I am sure that there are many other things that we can do to enjoy the time.

No matter the situation, you should never consider gambling as a good way to earn. Probably people tried gambling because they never know where to start. I'm talking about people who have not yet understand how to earn bitcoin etc. Probably the rich are the ones who really enjoy it but sadly, they are the ones who easily get addicted. Don't you think so too?

Gambling is really not a good way to earn money because no matter how many times you would win you will end up losing. It depends to the person if he/she enjoys gambling because there are still people who don't get frustrated in losing in gambling because they are already rich.

Indeed, for me, gambling is a worse way to earn a profit and to have fun as well because how will you suppose to be entertained if you are frustrated from losing isn't? And how you can say that is one of the ways to have income if you are always loosing? There's a low chance for you to win in this way, and if you won then I can say that you were lucky enough. But don't get used to it because every time you play the more you come to your worst scenario.

Well, the thing is that most people who have realized that there is nothing you are really going to be getting from gambling than losing anyway, will know there are other things you can do to have fun if you really want to have fun without almost giving yourself high blood pressure trying to win some money out of luck.
I pity those who come into gambling with the wrong mindset because gambling itself comes with an impulse that wants to control you and giving up that control before even starting with wrong mindset makes it even worse for such a person.

Don't think all people with no future only consider gambling. More individuals with higher level of life status had more fun times with gambling, rather that other activities particular on sports. Other frustrated persons might be leaving gambling for good but, after all sorts of pain recovery they tend to go back the usual habit. Happiness in gambling cannot be measured specially a person who wanted to live life to the fullest.

Only people who do not have a future will consider gambling as an interesting thing. The fact that gambling is a bad thing and has no benefits. As people who want a much better future, we must try to leave the gambling game in the fastest possible time.

That's very true. Discipline is key when entering the world of gambling. This works because you have a balance between work- family- gambling and you're not tied to just gambling as your everyday thing. Balance and order in life is important.

A lot of people who gamble sometimes can make it a hobby so gambling can be used as a fun activity because it can try their luck, but it is not worth imitating because every day they can spend their time to do gambling. as much as possible we should be able to limit it and can balance with other activities.

Maybe because they can't find themselves in some sweet spot in real life?
Such thing for example a real life solid job to win some gains.
Or because India have any economic crysis?

I heard it is so hard to get rid of gambling addiction. I've seen people spending all their money in gambling. Alcohol and drugs fuels the situation as they lose control of their emotions. In India gambling is illegal however, there are lot of people who are addicted to gambling.

If somebody can control their emotion then chances are that they can break this circle and come out of it. For that one needs to have a discipline in life which can sort out many things and they would not be losing much money and family as well.

The dependency is actually attributed to the mindset you bring into it in the first place which most of the time those who actually think it is something they can depend on in terms of making money, earning income, getting rich always end up getting beaten and by the time they started realizing they have been living in fools dream, they are already so addicted from trying to recover their losses without being able to find a means to even get out. Life of gambler can be smooth like a heaven if they limit everything but emotions make everything collapsed which leads to disaster even in life threatening level too.

I don't think that I have a problem at home because so far, I can manage my time between work, playing gambling, and with my family and I can do this with good. I don't play gambling too often like other people and I can hold myself from playing the games in every day because I know that it's not good for me and I can lose my money. I think it's because we have another thing that we need to do in the daily life so our mind is not thinking about gambling. and if we can do this, you can prevent your mind to think about gambling and you can prevent from being an addicting person in gambling. and yes, I know it might be difficult for every gambler to do this, but as long as they have a will and they really want to change their life, I am sure that they can do like what I did. so this is about you and about how to control yourself.

The consequence that first and foremost which is needed to be think deeper before dealing with such activity, being too much engaged to gambling even you will keep denying to yourself that you are already suffering from being addicted into it will reveal you from the results that it will brought to your life, being stress and put away important things in life just to satisfied your lust of playing resulting to nothing but being burned and empty.

Once you become an addicted gambler it is almost a guaranteed thing that you will lose your job or lose your family soon afterwards. The key consist to never become addicted by following simple gambling guidelines you can find many of these guidelines in many different websites accessible to all by just doing a google search.

Being a strong person mentally is a necessary step in order to not become addicted nor to gambling nor to anything else, like drugs, alcohol etc.

The true happiness is comes in an honest words. In order for you to solve the problem you need to become honest with what you feel and be honest to your self. There is no other that can solve it but its your own.

Well, it is a good thing that you cannot see yourself losing control in gambling and probably that is because you already know anyway that there is really nothing you should be expecting so much from it as long as you know the possibility of losing is high anyway.

With respect to empathizing, I sure do know how it feels since I have someone who was close to me and ended up an addict because deep down, there is just no way you will not feel for them. It is like someone who is inside a deep well and trying to get out but just stuck. It is hard to describe but it takes a lot to be able to get out from it just the same way as drug addiction.
