Do you think drugs destroys more than gambling addiction then you must read dis

all kinds of addiction are harmful because it has reached that excessive level of consumption even addiction with food is harmful because it leads to many illnesses so one way or another whatever addiction it may be, it can ruin someone’s life

Can someone get addicted to a particular food? I don’t think so because it’s something I’ve never experienced or seen from anyone close or far from me before. I know there are certain things that can get you addicted like drinks with caffeine and others, but I don’t know that there is any solid food that can get you addicted also, unless if you mixed it with an addictive substance which people do.

I remember back then in school some students will mix Jollof rice with weed substance as ingredient, because of that, they were addicted to such mixture and will always practice that whenever they want to eat the food. It is the weed content that keeps bringing them back. I am also not ignoring the fact that you can get attached to a particular food because it is your favorite but it has not qualified it to the level of calling it addiction yet where you begin to feel some mental illness because you’ve not taken it.

People can get addicted to anything, remember that Addiction starts when you do something more than usual. it is possible to get addicted to a particular food, most people that get out of shape either get addicted to a particular food or they just get obsessed with eating too much. Even without an addictive substance some people still get addicted to a type of food, same way people get addicted to gambling without using any substance.

gambling addition cannot quickly cause a Gambler in suicide what gambling addition will you do to a gambler is that it will make the gambler to lose his valuable items on the process of gambling, so that is why we need to control our gambling emotions so that will not will be victim of spending extravagantly in gambling instead of investing in what that bring a profit in future for expansion of our source of income, we should know by now that the disadvantages in gambling is higher than the advantages and I have been emphasizing in this particular scenario so it is left for us who are serious and gambling to cut our seriousness off so that we shall not to be addicted in gambling

I remember sometime ago, I got so addicted to video games that I became so obsessed with it. I wasn’t really losing money or having any serious mental or psychological negative effects like some would picture actual addiction to be, but my addiction for video games got worse and all I could think about was playing video games, even in my sleep, if I’m not racing in my dreams, I’m fighting an intergalactic war, yeah it was that serious, and it took me quite some time with intentionality to get myself out of that addiction.

Even when you eat too much food, it can get you uncomfortable, there are some non alcoholic drink that doesn't make people intoxicated but when you take too much of it, you can get tipsy. The same analogy apply to gam but we don't care. We over gamble and when we see the consequences of our actions, we now act like it wasn't our fault that we gamble irresponsibly. If only we gamble with the little we can afford to lose, it's going to be a win for casino and the gambler, the gamblers might lose but it wouldn't be at the expense of addiction.

However, I feel this comparison of alcohol, drugs and gambling are different things. It seems many of us in this thread hasn't encounter a close relation that has been addicted to drug abuse. It's one of the worse thing you will want to see your family and friends doing. It's even worse than gambling addiction in my opinion. It kills dreams and everything they work for including the people around them. Never pray to see a close relation addicted to drugs.

Frankly, I don't fully understand why we should compare gambling addiction to classic drug addiction and draw conclusions based on that. It's such flawed logic. You could just as easily compare gambling addiction to a serious and incurable disease, like HIV or cancer, and say that gambling addiction is better. Or, conversely, you could compare gambling addiction to coffee addiction and say that gambling addiction is worse. In any case, all addictions are bad, as are all illnesses, and the worse the illness or addiction, the more severe it is.
