Dont you think that Gambling is the worst form of addiction?!


Question: Dont you think that Gambling is the worst form of addiction?
I see it almost daily in australia how ordinary people go into Tattslotto agencies and buy 10 or even 15 tickets costing them hundreds of dollars.

Now a peson who drinks may drink 2 or 3 bottles of whiskey a day . But a Gambler cant limit him/herself and even sells his/her home and Gambles with the money right?

So on that basis dont you think that Gambling has to be considered the worst form of addiction that can render a person to be a begger on the streets?

Answers:

Nah, crystal meth would be the worst. Heroin f***s people up pretty good, too.

And your question is misleading. Gambling in itself is not a form of addiction.



No. Gambling is not physically addicting like drugs are. It is still a serious addiction but it does not have the life threatening detoxification that drugs do. With help a gambler can quit without being in a hospital like a serious addict needs to be. The psychological addiction of gambling is difficult, but drug and alcohol addiction is physical and psychological. A double whammy.



I don't see it as an "addiction" but I do see it as something that could end up being harmful.
