Compulsive and Obsessive Disorders leading to Gambling Addictions
|
Gambling addictions are increasing, and according to statistics, more than two and one half million people are addicted to taking chances with their money. In some areas, around five percent of the people experience problems with risking their money frivolously, thus the estimation has soared above the statistics of that of cocaine addicts. Gambling causes various influences to arise, including emotional excitement, increasing of heart rates, and dissociation. The affects give the person the same type of high that common drugs give off. Gambling can initiate as a pastime where the person bids on horses, races, poker, etc and can lead to gambling addictions. Once the person begins winning a few dollars the emotions are excited, which leads the person to believe that more money is in the making. Who has gambling problems? Many people have gambling problems and it is not centered on one group of people. Politicians, officers, religious leaders, poverty-stricken souls, etc could have a problem or addiction with gambling. Gambling involves an escape from reality, or else a vision that is out of reach. Gambling is not only a risk; the act causes occurrences that lead to final decisions, which the outcome is delusional of senses, affecting certainty and sometimes death. Taking blind risks forms an exhilarated feeling, which leads to flight of the imagination. One man gambled on the pool table, and after making money risking parties mad, one day while walking down the street he was shot. Five years later, this person died as a result of the bullet. Another person gambling on the pool table got into various fights and arguments and nearly lost his life. As you can see, gambler's addictions reach further than common casinos. Another incident occurred when one man became angry over a card game and the man filled with angry emotions pulled out a shotgun and shot a man point blank range. Not only do we see that gambling addictions reach further than casinos, we see that gambling addictions can lead to murder and/or death. If you believe you have a gambling problem, it is wise to stay clear of casinos and lottery stations. This will help you avoid the urges. You can also ask friends and family for support to deal with your impulses, compulsions, and obsessions. One of the better highs in life comes when you have earned your way through life, and that you earned your success by working hard. Never give up there is always help! |
