Gambling should be considered as a Sickness!!

[teilwalL05]

Addiction itself is a sickness, since you can't get it over easily, so battling your against your addiction is hard. This may be applied on not just gambling, but everything on what you do.

That's true, addiction in gambling is the one that we can call sickness, but GAMBLING itself is not a sickness because for me we are the one who choose to play gambling and gambling didn't force us to play right? So it is our choice to get addicted in gambling if we do.

We are matured enough to enter into gambling and we should know already that it is risky, if we have that in our mind we will never call gambling as sickness although we are losing a big amount of money because in the first place we want that to happen to us.

Yes it can be considered as sickness but it can be cured also like just save your money in cold wallet? and forget to touch that wallet for a month and then withdraw to your local bank when you need it?
And yes, I agrees with OP that we win in first but when we get greedy we get aggressive we lost all. Like happened with me i won a few bitcoins then i get greedy i just lost that all bitcoins in 15 seconds. Better stay away from gambling.

I do not think you can cure gambling addiction just by keeping away your money or resources. As long as you are the one who controls the location and access of your money, you will be prone to cheat your own protocol and continue to gamble. It takes more than that to cure gambling addiction specially if it has is a long time addiction. And probably you cannot cure yourself, you need your friends and a professional to help you get out of gambling.

Gambling is for weak souls. There is no way that a healthy person would think to become rich by gambling.

Playing a few games in a month is ok as long as you don't get addicted.

Well you know i cured myself when i lost 3+ bitcoin in just a day i just lost my head. So i just stopped gambling i got out from bitcoin and came back after 5-6 months. From then if i want to gamble i just gamble small amounts like 0.01-0.02 just for fun. When a person loses money in gambling more then he can afford then i guess he will stop. The best way is getting yourself busy in something like in the company of friends? When i get free i get some lectures online or in some organization.

Well i kind of disagree with what you said about gambling is for weak souls. Not everyone who deals with gambling is aiming to get rich. Some people gamble to release stress, or to socialize with other people or simply to experience the fun of it.

What do you mean  by "Weak Souls" ? Lack of Religion or Lack of Judgement? I disagree with what you have said. As not all gamblers have a weak mind, in fact some of them has a huge amount of discipline, skill, judgement, and patience all that is needed to win. Not all long time gamblers are losers in fact some people earn a living of them.

I will strongly agree with you how pathetic that those who has weak souls should not gamble? because it is not for them? seriously it is made for all the people who wants to relax and have fun so instead it can make your soul more alive only if you "do not abuse".

I was very clear in my post.

Playing a few games in a month to get relaxed aint't considered as an addiction. It is o.k. (as long as you don't make huge bets of course)

Weak minds are easily to get addicted. They dream of yachts, big houses, girls, infinite money etc. And they think that they can achieve this by gambling. Big mistake. If you disagree with me then you are one of those fools.

Your experience is different. You did not keep away your money, you lost it in gambling. What happened to you is you got traumatized by that large sum of money loss. Good thing you quit when you lose. Others would have fight, and gamble more to try and win back their loss. I hope you can control your gambling habit now and avoid to lose large sum of money.

Exactly, it is a personal problem. Only determination and dedication to get rid of it can help the addicted person. And hence I consider gambling as one personal problem and not as a sickness.

It is our choice to play in gambling so it is not gambling itself that is the problem for this. "You" that is already addicted is the one that is the problem and not the gambling itself. It is our choice to put ourself in a situation that we don't wanted.

Gambling is a choice and to not gamble is choice as well, I know that for those that are addicted to gambling choosing to not gamble is very difficult but at the end of the day is a decision they will need to take or they will probably wreck their life’s.

Simple, sweet, and direct to the point. We are primary responsible to our actions, decisions, and our self as a whole. So, when we are on a bad situation, we can either give up or fight on - same thing with gambling addiction, you are the primary person that can help yourself to stay away from it and live a life that is more healthy and happy

[EXPmarianne]

We can considered the gambling addiction as an illness because it won't brings good in our mental.
Gambling is also a high risk. So it's better to discipline yourself before you make a wrong moves using it.

[newcripto]

In some cases it is working like sickness when people are too influenced and too much addicted to gambling. Their minds are off and they stop thinking like normal and have one thing in mind how to fulfill the desire of playing more and more. Not for everyone but for large number of people gambling becomes nightmare and disease of what they can't get rid of or don't have will to do so.

[maku]

Yes it can be considered as sickness but it can be cured

1. Only excessive gambling is harmful. Addiction in every form could be called a sickness, psychcal additicion is not an exeption here.
2. If you truly are addicted gambler then you CAN'T be 100% cured. It is the same same as other several types of addictions: i.e drugs and alcohol. Maybe you won't drink - but you will have 'it' inside you.

When i person disagrees with your opinion then that person can be considered as a fool? how ironic. Weak minds are easily get addicted? do you have any statistics to prove that this one is true? If not then do not say that a certain person is a fool because of not agreeing your opinion without basis. Am i making sense??

The past would always haunt you. Even those people who have been to rehabilitation still has a chance of becoming addicted again that's why they are advised to visit their therapist every now and then. They have to keep track of your current status. Most of the time, it's problems that makes us go back to our previous addictions.

Regardless of what addiction that is, you still have the tendency to go back to your previous addiction most especially if you face the same things that made you addicted to it before.

I do not think that gambling should be considered a sickness because when you get sick you do not know that you get sick.
Gambling happens because people decide for them selves to gamble so they are making them selves sick if you ask me.

Yeah. It's like this.. If someone is addicted to eating chocolates and it gives them diabetes, you don't put the blame on chocolates but to the person's attitude towards eating chocolates. The sickness comes from the person's non control over it. Same way with gambling. Gambling ia just there. It doesn't care if we gamble or not. It's us that would determine gambling's effects.

Yeah, it is true nothing can be sickness it's all on our mind and our attitude towards that thing, if we are able to control on over ourself than nothing can be sickness, so that I also gambling is not a sickness that are we who made this so bad.
