I personally knew a few people, whose lives got destroyed due to their addiction to gambling. IMO, the addiction towards gambling is even worse than that with drugs or alcohol. I have seen a lot of people claiming that they have profited from gambling. But I am yet to see one for real. IMO, the only people who benefit from gambling are the ones who run casinos and online gambling sites.
That is right,because having an addiction to alcohol is not as dangerous as having an addiction to gambling,because when you are addicted to alcholol at the worst scenerio you will end up losing your mind every night and having an hangover every morning.
But when you are addicted to gambling you can end up losing your house and all of your savings,a thing that can hurt your surrendings and your family,not just yourself.
