Both addiction are bad for health and finances we cannot make one better than the other, some can survive the drugs, and some can survive gambling if we have a friend who are in any of the two we need to do everything to help them and not make a comparison.
Helping those who have experienced addiction to this is not an easy thing to do if they themselves do not have the desire to leave what they are doing.
Not much different from drug addiction, gambling addiction is also the same, it will harm many things, time, money, relationships, mindset, and maybe also with their health. So it is better to keep than to cure, because if you are addicted to these two things or one of them, it will be difficult to cure it.
not because it doesnt only destroy you financially but also it could destroy your body on which this is something that you should really be avoiding in the first place. Better not to make yourself getting involved specially with drugs because once this thing do kicks in then it would really be that too hard to get out since your body would really be basically searching for it.
Im not saying that gambling addiction is much better but we know that this is something that it is bad too and its always been best that you should really be doing things in moderation if you dont
like for yourself to get that in huge problems in life specially on finances. So its up into your own decision since its your life though but with common sense
then you could be able to determine on whats good or bad.
