Is Gambling addiction a disease?

[FRJ]

Of course, gambling is a disease. I think that the disease is nothing more than the disease in the world, those who have made themselves addicted to this disease, destruction for them is inevitable if they do not try to cure this disease, but if the human be pleased It is very easy to remedy the diseaseThere is a word that people are slaves of habit or do not practice habits of human beings,

so my opinion is that people should be cured of this disease, otherwise they will be destroyed, their country will be destroyed, their family will be destroyed, each of us should keep everyone safe from this disease and this disease Get discouraged from going,

Addiction on gambling is a kind of disease that only our self can healed of our addiction. Some people hard to quit gambling if you some want to take away from it try to convinced your self that gambling is not a good to you. And try to control your self and tell that you can do quit gambling.

[Kevin77]

Yes it is, I know a few people who suffer for it, and it hurts not only the one who gamble but their entire family.

Every addiction is a disease, as long as it is something that is uneasy to sure, then it is even a huge one that can spread pretty fast and overwhelm you before you even know it. There is a thin line between gambling as a normal human being and entering the addictive world because that is where the advantage you have to control the impulse has been taken away from you and once you are in that lane, it is a big one to deal with.

[DesmondHayes]

I am not really a gambler but I heard about people who can't quit it and keep losing lots of money. Do you think the attitude to gambling addiction should be the same as to drug addiction?
Should the government forbid gambling and treat somehow those who are addicted?
Or maybe it should be left up to an adult? I mean, should people decide on their own whether they need to gamble or not.
What do you think?

Everyone has his/her own choices that they are making. Noone is competent enough to steal this choice from the other persons. Alcohol drinking is not forbidden if it is consumed without endangering the other people. Gambling is same as the alcohol addiction but just on its own terms.

We cannot restrict the gambling fro the people because we all have our own will which has a big impact on our choices. There are many clinics for the addicts. Even sex addict have their own clinic but the choice for treatment of this addictions is up to the man that is influenced by it.

Gambling is not a disease; it is not contagious nor sickening. It is influential for the people with the low willpower. If the man can be easily influenced then no one can help him if he doesn't accept the help freely and sees his own mistakes.

It is defined as a disease by most medical associations. It involves environmental factors that affects behavior too. Addiction to a thing involves changes in how our brain functions and could probably have consequences once it is not controlled. It may cause a person to be disabled it continuing a daily routine normally if you will be pertaining to gambling addiction. A mind set to gambling might decline a person's self-care ability for himself.

Sometimes it turns abnormality , yeah I've seen a lot of people desperate and frustrated because of their gambling habit. They feel there's nothing to do anymore in this life after they suffering a huge lost that they can't afford to lose . In the end everyone who have ever gamble should prepare for something like this in gambling.

Every addiction is a disease,

I agree that each of it is a disease.

Being addicted is hard to avoid when people did not know how to manage his responsibilities in their finances.It should be a diseases to those people who cant control and even repeating playing even though they have full of debts.

It's inevitable to become addicted if most of your time is dedicated in casino's and you are enjoying with your time there.

And because you're enjoying you didn't know that the system eats you and you'll wake up one day that all are gone because of your addiction. Yes it became a disease when you let it pass on your nerves and you'll just like a puppet and your life will revolves around the casinos. Personally, even I really enjoyed something I always make sure that I put limit to it so I'll know how far can I go.

People who are addicted to gambling will always have the chance to quit the disease but they won't bother about their problems for the people who are addicted to it. Gambling is really one type of disease which we cannot control our feeling without gambling, that's why it is always good to stay away this disease.

[myanti55]

Gambling, not a disease. It's all up to you how you can react to it. It's controlled by you. It's not the drug , it's a habit. And habit can stop.. Because it does not effect on your body. It only effects on your mind. At the same time if you were busy with the other such works, slowly slowly your gambling habits will reduce.

[St4yInTh3D4rk]

Yep,there are different levels in addiction.If someone finds that he is getting addicted in the early stages then he can get out from that easily and can continue to play the gambling as well but the serious addict people need to completely stay away from the any types of gambling to get out from it or else it will make them more worse.

I agree but not only to get out of it. Once they have recovered, they need to stay away from gambling for life, the same way a recovered alcoholic mustn’t try a sip for the rest of his life, because it would lead to the same old self-destruction pattern.

Yes,if the serious addict after recovered from that addiction then he need to stay away from that forever or else he will again get addicted to it.But all is about our self control if the people who has the control over his mind then he can gamble and keep time limit to avoid addiction again.

I think if any person recovered from the gambling addiction he knows how to control his feelings because without controlling his feeling he will never come back from gambling addiction. there are some people playing gambling after they recovered from addiction but they learned how to play gambling and when to stop and how to avoid addicting to this gambling.

Even if a person who recovered from gambling addiction will still get addicted again,becaise it is addiction and the chance of getting addiction is more when we get into gambling again.Because the evil side of the mind will say go and play again and again if he starts gambling after the recovery then it will continue all the way again.

May be I am wrong but I believe if someone wants to quit something, it is only he who has to do it so why to waste time in getting advices from others? Just quit it. It is not that much easy but you motivation to quitting it should be far superior to this action. In such case you will not need any longer time to leave that thing. For all those gamblers who came to know they are doing wrong, quit it.

Gambling itself is not a disease but its addiction is the real disease and worst case scenario is when a person loses control over his urge to gamble. As gambling is a good tool to kill spare time for many people, it has millions of players from all over the world but as the time passes by, it gets into the bones of the gambler. Giving up on it become a real challenger for him. That is the reason why it is best to not even think about putting hands into this fire.

This is always been a mistake if people do come to a point on where they do let themselves to be addicted with gambling without even thinking the possible harm that it can make to his own life.Addiction is really a disease which if you didnt able to cure it up it will spread and would really make your life miserable if such addiction would really come into severe state.It should be cured and leave it as early as you can if you dont like to mess up.

Possible, but not all the times that a previous addicted gambler would really comes back into its previous track specially when he experience hardship into his own life where he comes to a point that he dont have any money in his pocket and do destroy his relationship with his loved ones.If he realizes those things then there no doubt that the gambler do already learn a lesson and wont go back on that thing.

It only means that you are responsible gambler and you know that it will be better to stay away from such before you will be affected that way. Enjoying isn't bad if that is too much, that becomes wrong and with gambling it's literally going to become addiction and disease that you never know.

Yes l consider gambling is a disease because it's like a cancer thats eat your body until your body is destroyed. Because when my husband addicted on gambling he never think about his family until we separated. He didn't do something to survive our family. Because his life is worst in gambling that he can't cure anymore. So he didn't do anything to solve all what he done.

In gambling there are many circumstances and in a matter of time people have different life before and after gambling. Gambling addiction can be called a disease because of its effect on a person who is suffering from unconscious way of thinking that is only focused in gambling.

Actually gambling is not a disease, The Addiction of Gambling is like a disease and in this point i agree with you, that when husband become addicted then he don't care his family even his family helpless to live hand to mouth and borrow money to others but he don't care because he has a disease of gambling addiction.

You're right but some gamblers need some motivation since they are not that persistent on their decision, some psychological reasoning occurs in their selves that still motivates them to continue, maybe from good experiences they gain from gambling or the reciprocate that they give much to give into it so their hoping that they get even some in return.

Yeah, that is always a good strategy for someone who has been able to recover from gambling and going back to it is more like a dog vomiting and going back to its own vomit and we know how dirty that can be. I was told that when you are addicted and you recover, if you end up not controlling yourself and going back to it, it is always worse than the first instance as this time, the person will be so messed up that no one can recover such a person.

It is better to not get addicted at all and trying to control yourself before even starting to gamble, than to start controlling yourself when you find out that you are getting addicted as you may never know, you would have entered the addictive channel already and still think you are trying to battle it. It is not an easy thing to be in that zone, as it is war against your own body, spirit and soul and it takes a lot to get out from it.
