Message: [QUOTE="Poker Orifice, post: 5416593, member: 33113"] An addiction doesn't need to be one with some physical element. What about a person who's wired to coke? They don't have a physical dependence upon it. So is this not a real addiction? If it's not that hard to overcome a gambling addiction... then why don't they all just quit? Why do some of them commit suicide? Denial is a common trait shared among addicts... "I can quit if I feel like it... I just don't feel like it right now" Ask a gambler who's standing on the edge of a roof of a tall building, contemplating doing a swan dive... filled with guilt & remorse.... if they'd rather be a heroin addict at that point in time. umm.... Why? It's not relevant. Suggesting that one addiction is worse than another is inaccurate. I believe it's about how it affects one's soul that is most important. So do you have a gambling problem? Maybe you're addicted to gambling (only you can be the one to decide this). [/QUOTE]
