A therapist once said it well: “Addiction is a learning problem, not a demon problem.” Your brain basically gets used to the dopamine rush from risk and near-wins. That’s why people use things like CBT where you learn to catch dumb thoughts like “one more bet and I’ll win it back.” Or counseling and support groups that help  you deal with triggers like stress or boredom... or seeing betting ads everywhere..

Gambling addiction isnt spiritual, its a real problem that can mess up a person's money, time, and relationships.

Some people try to label it as bad luck or lack of faith, but the bigger issue is usually habits and brain chemistry, chasing losses, needing bigger bets for the same excitement and using gambling to escape stress. That's why willpower alone often isnt enough.

If someone notices they can't stop, the practical move is to put a barrier in place, avoid gambling sites/groups, block apps, limit access to money, and talk to someone they can trust. Getting help isn't shameful, its the same as getting help for any other addiction.

Also worth saying here is that this is Bitcointalk, trading like it's a casino can turn into the same pattern, having rules and limits matter.

Relation ship to what. Some begger that wants you precious time that you spend so wrongly?

Don't get fooled by the goodie two shoes. Slap a nicotine plaster on and get on with it. About the spiritual part. You are here of all the time in the world. What could possibly go wrong?

People make a case of you no matter what. You the small wheel the machine can't do without. Pensum would be working class hero by John Lennon. A song.

"Shop is open. I need more coffee". How you do it when you don't work. You see they have coffe for everyone when your around.

Top advice. Install steam and be a gamer instead of a gambler.

Throw some "shit" and see what sticks.
