In CSI, Gary Dourdan is an investigative
crime reporter who has a history of gambling. When he was called to testify in
a case, the lawyer raised his addiction. Judi can be negative because it is
self-destructive habits.
Gambling is meant to be just for fun.
This is a form of entertainment such as watching your favorite TV show or catch
the latest releases at the cinema or playing video games.
This is not really about winning or
losing. The problem with gambling is that every time people get lucky and score
big, they think that there will always be a chance to get lucky again. The
reality is that they tend to lose more just to get the jackpot a second time.
If you gamble because you feel that will
make your financial situation better, then you should know that is the first
sign of gambling addiction.
Casinos usually offer a variety of games
for your own entertainment. You have to play the game just because you want to
have fun and relax. There is a possibility that you might score a jackpot, but
in reality that is unlikely, as the lottery.
Just like gambling addiction such as
alcohol, drugs, nicotine, sex, chocolate, sports. Anything can be addictive. If
you feel that you are getting too much then it might be addicted. If you feel
that it has a negative effect on you, then it certainly is an addiction that
you need to fix as soon as possible.
Anyone prone to addiction. But those who
are vulnerable are those who are more likely to get addicted. If you are the
type who can not resist the temptation, then you better not do it in the first
place. Take for example what happened in Desperate Housewives. Eva Longorias
mother-in-law has a gambling problem. Eva wants alone-time with himself, but
the mother-in-law kept bugging me and bugging her. What he has left it in the
casino. Eva had her time alone.
