an addiction in one form or the other.....  |
|
 Do you consider gambling as an addiction? Or do you only consider drug addictions as addictions?
I think gambling can be an addiction. If you think about most drug addictions the reason they are addictions are because the people can't stop doing what they are doing. In most drug addiction cases people end up losing their whole life and the same thing can happen with gambling addictions. You can lose all your money in no time if you have a gambling problem the same why you can lose all your money to drugs.
So I consider a gambling addiction to be just as bad as a drug addiction. Yes they are different but they both are addictions.

| 1. Crimson888 (59) | 1 month ago |  I think that drug addiction could be more serious than gambling because for drug addiction, it is very diffcult to quit and even though it is also very difficult to quit gambling, at least when you gamble, you won't harm your health but when you take drug, you are harming your health..
Also, we can gamble a little of our money for fun but we cannot take a little bit of drug for fun..Hence in my own opinion, drug and gambling are both addiction but drug addiction is more serious than gambling addiction...

 Bertman410 (166) | 4 weeks ago | I agree. Health is involved with a drug addiction. And in that sense then yes drug addiction would be a little bit more serious of an addiction. | |

| Bertman410 (166) | 4 weeks ago | Good point. I can see how it is the addict more than what it is their addicted to. I like to gamble but I'm not addicted to it. But I guess if I was an addict then it would easly become an addiction. | |

Gambling can be a hobby as well or simply a game. It all comes down on how you control yourself. Don't let yourself be controlled by gambling or anything.

| 9. dropofrain (231) | 4 weeks ago | i think both of them are adicitions and both of them are dangerous for us. Any form of addiction is harmful but the most harmful ones are gambling, drugs and smoking. you should try to avoid all these things in your lifetime. this not only affects your life but also the people associated with you. so avoid all this and have a happy life | |
