Topic: What I learnt from a crackhead about gambling - page 3. (Read 1344 times)

I think the community will not abandon anyone, but that addict is choosing to stay away from everyone. I know some groups of people whose behavior is so interconnected from a gambling point of view, it is difficult for them to communicate with people outside their nongambling train of thought. It can be agreed that some people have a lucky chance to win, but will that person be alert enough to escape or will they continue to lose even more money and the end result will still be a ruin?
As I expressed before, addiction is a cognitive distortion. If you are lucky enough to receive help to get rid of it, and more importantly, the addicts themselves also need to understand the mistakes they have made.

Gambling is an activity that uses money to gain pleasure. But even though they have used a lot of money, they won't feel satisfied if they haven't won. And it will be different from the purpose of gambling, where gambling is used by people to get pleasure and not to get winnings. For them, winning is a bonus that comes to those who are lucky so they will stop gambling once they have enough. When gambling, a person must have self-control so as not to be trapped by the temptation of gambling, which can make them lose more money. Only with self-control will we know when to stop gambling so that we will not lose a lot of money.

Money can indeed bring pleasure, but there are some people who can get pleasure not from things they have to pay dearly for, there are even people who have spent a lot of their money but they don't necessarily get the pleasure they want, indeed It is true that gambling was created to get certain pleasure in the games that have been provided, but if we cannot control ourselves in the game then we will be played by the winnings and a lot of our money will be used up playing the game.

That's right, drugs will destroy our lives faster. Because when you're addicted to drugs, you won't have any luck here. It just ruins our lives. I agree that gambling will gradually ruin our lives if we become addicted. Indulging in gambling will disrupt his life. He may lose his job, and his family members will stay away.
But there is still luck in gambling if he is a heavy gambler. Luck was with him, and he won big. I would like to ask, will people say he is addicted to gambling and shun him? We will learn lessons. Or feel like we should try our luck?

One way or another, money should bring, among other things, pleasure. For some people it is fun to save money, and for others it is fun to spend money. Gambling is designed to bring a certain kind of pleasure. The main thing is that the loss should not be more than the amount allocated for the game

I have tried both of these things, but I don't think addiction will completely happen, but in my opinion, with drugs it will ruin lives faster. According to scientific research, dopamine is released faster when people use drugs, but basically, if we are an addict, it will almost lead us to many mistakes in life.

Maybe a gambling addict will need a lot of time to destroy his life. I have also witnessed many cases in life where they are like ignorant people, immersed in the feeling of wealth from making money.

After all, once addicted, it is difficult for them to have a chance to do it again, so those objects are always seen as an image that helps us realize the wrong things in life. And sometimes I also think the cause is due to life circumstances when an individual is not brave enough to escape, and they are controlled and blamed for the causes.

Between drugs and gambling, which one do you think is more addicting than the other? I have a good reason for asking this question, because there is something I saw not too long and I am doubting if anyone have seen the same thing, I am from a place where crack heads ( drugs addicts ) and also gambling addicts are all around, here is what I've seen.

I have seen crack heads more than responsible with there cash, than gambling addicts, this is what make me to ask you guys this question, drug junks are more responsible than gamblers, I have seen a gambling addict who spend 200 grand in under one and half hour on gambling, I've never seen a crack head done such before, not even on drugs.

I have seen a crack head who changed and when we had some chats he thank God in front of me, saying he is thankful that is addiction was on drugs and not gambling, he sounds so scary of getting addicted to gambling as he confirmed that gambling seems so much harder to quit.

He went on and say something about his friend who use 15 years on gambling and the friend isn't really sure how he will stop and the friend said that if he didn't stop it will kill him sooner or later, like he knew the danger lurking but he doesn't know how to stop, he isn't sure he will get better. The friend started telling him how the world will be better off without him, that's when they started locking him up, and the battle to change him when on for four years straight before he died from strange illness.

I was so scared with this story and It affected me for a while, I stopped gambling for a week because of what I heard from this man, his appearance is that of someone you won't want to listen to but what he went through is so eye opening that if other addicted gamblers hear from him it could change them, gambling addiction is really scary.

Great point! That's what I think too. Of course, there are other activities that can unstress you, like playing some sport games or just working out, and for some people it's writing and for others it's watching good movies, but you are right, gambling, sex and intoxication are the strongest, and gambling is probably the safest of them all. It's not suitable for kids, and not suitable for adults who thinks like 12 y.o. kids, that's what must be kept in mind though.

There are three escapes of a man when he gets a problem or is experiencing stress. These are gambling, women (sex) and getting drunk (drugs or alcohol). Of the three there is no better, because it has its own risks. when you gamble you will risk losing the money and wealth you have. When you choose to make comfort women your outlet for all the problems you are experiencing, then you will be at risk of HIV, hypothyroidism B and others, which are diseases that are difficult to cure. And when you choose to get drunk by consuming drugs or liquor, it will slowly damage your body and if you are addicted to drugs, not only will your body be damaged but your wealth will also run out, because the price of drugs is quite expensive.


And of these three things, it seems that gambling related to the impact is not too bad, but still if we play without good self-control, this gambling will become an activity that is very detrimental to us. Because it will cause significant risks.

There are many people who gamble only for fun but after becoming addicted to gambling cannot be stopped. I used to gamble just for fun at first but later it got me addicted. Not only gambling, people are addicted to many things but the habit of losing money is an exception, because when there is a shortage of money then people change their behavior. However no one is forcing you to gamble or even befriending you, so gambling is your personal ritual and you can spend your money anywhere.

This is not a fair comparison, because crack heads do spend money on drugs too, the funny thing is they don't feel right in their system unless they take the drugs, and running out of drugs is something they can't live with, they would rather go broke than not have the drug in their system.

Maybe the crackheads you see, but crack heads can be much worse than addicted gamblers, been a drug addict is way scary, because it involves their health life style, they only way drugs running in their gains and nothing else, that's why you will see some of the turning into a stick and have massive loss of weight.

Drugs feels good for them than eating, so to me there is no different in addiction, it's something that's generally bad, what can you advice a crack head that he will listen to you? If he gets better the next them he will tell you that you never advice him, they easily lose their head due to the drugs but gamblers isn't this cruel to themselves, they only waste money on casino games.
