The addiction is a
compulsion to repeat a behavior regardless of
its consequences. A person who is addicted is sometimes
called an addict. There is a lack of senses as to what
may be properly be termed addiction. Some within the
medical community maintain a rigid definition of
addiction and contend that the term is only applicable
to a process of escalating drug or alcohol use as a
result of repeated exposure. The addiction is often
applied to compulsive
behaviors other than drug use, such as
overeating or gambling. In all the cases, the term
addiction describes a chronic pattern of behavior that
continues despite the direct or indirect adverse
consequences that result from engaging in the behavior.
It is quite common for an addict to express the desire
to stop their behavior, but find himself is unable to
quit the gambling.
Treatment of addicted gamblers:
The people who need gambling treatment come into
treatment financially and emotionally useless. Most of
them put every penny into their
addiction. The
gamblers are not bad people. Most of them have never
been in trouble before. The gambling management is
needed to bring the gambling under control. It is very
difficult for some people to understand problem
gambling, but pathological gamblers do not have the
preference to gamble, they are addicted. When the
pathological gamblers gamble, they are in a chemical
psychoactive high. The moment of the gambling is over;
they slip into a chemical psychoactive low, an irritable
hopelessness they cannot put up with. In the time, their
satisfaction hormones become used up, and problem
gamblers must gamble to feel customary. The pathological
gamblers are not gambling for the money; they are
gambling to feel normal. This is difficult for some
those to comprehend because gambling, like drinking,
seems like a conclusion of will. But pathological
gambling is a brain disease that is chemically and
heritably driven, just as addictive as split cocaine in
certain individuals. The gambling is very attractive,
for the most part to the people who need money. The
Illinois Lottery did a study to see who gambles, and
originates people who made less than ten thousand
dollars a year gamble six times more often than those
who earn over fifty thousand dollars a year. People know
they can win millions by risking a dollar. A recent
program on the It has stated that gambling is so
attractive, that when the power ball is high, ninety
percent of ample adults buy a ticket. There is no other
commodity where the percentages are this high. The real
odds of winning a state lottery are approximately
fourteen million to one, the
same possibility as being hit by lightening seven
times while ahead of you in the lottery line. Most of
the people get addicted to the gamble because of money
and they start having drugs with gambling.
