I believe pain is the cause of addiction. We use gambling as a way to escape pain. We experience pain when we don’t get our needs met. A happy person likely gets more needs met and, therefore, experiences less pain,happy person is more resistant to addiction because he/she has fewer reasons to escape.
By working on the underlying causes of the addiction, you’ll gradually remove sources of pain and become happier. When you reduce the pain in your life, you’ll probably see the urge to gamble disappear as well!
