Is gambling addiction really just an addiction to losing?
The idea that we might be addicted to losing hits hard. Gambling addiction thrives on the cycle of self-destruction and guilt, where each loss drives the urge to chase another win, trapping us deeper. It’s not just the thrill of winning but the compulsion of the game, almost as if we need to validate our suffering by hitting rock bottom. Recognizing this twisted pattern is crucial. Reclaiming control and refusing to let the addiction define you starts by understanding this cycle and breaking free from it, step by step.
