That's why more people become addicted to it and if you don't have any knowledge of what you are about to become it's better to avoid it in total because when you are already there, there's only a low possibility that you can stop what you are doing but most of the time people always fall into categories of addictions where they can't seem to recover quickly rather they think of it all day and look for some other resources in order to fund their addictions over and over again until there's nothing left with them. that's why if only they could stop it soon, it wouldn't end like that.
One thing i dislike about addictions is the lack of awareness of the gambler. You will still feel like you're having a fun while gambling but you do not know that you have lost all self-awareness and you're in lack of control of how you are gambling.
