Gambling – like they say, it’s only money. I am just saying gambling is not deadly and doesn’t make you violent or sick. It is a mental addiction, not a physical one. Most addictions are both. Gambling is hence easier to cure.
I can speak from both ends. I was addicted to one of the stronger narcotic’s out there, and yes I did get ill and throw up, but to say gambling addicts don’t, it’s not true. They don’t as often as the addict, but I have seen it, I also have gone to plenty of GA meetings where people have talked of friends who got shot because they didn’t pay, or had thoughts of suicide. or ended up in a rehab. I have someone very close to me who was playing BJ on line and when he was up, not down, but up, he was trembling so bad I couldnt believe it.
I too have several gaming website so please don’t think I am trying to preach to you, but gambling can cause death, broken homes, life on the street etc.
