Human: It seems that many people don't understand the addiction of gambling. What are some good habits for people to observe, if they don't want to become gambling addicted?


Assistant: So the current process is in a different way.  If you’re a person who’s going through the same old habits with gambling, the following is a good way to begin: I’m not an “sugar taker”, but “spreadtard” or “candied”.  If you have a bowl (or “candied” or “scatchie”) bowl, you can look up on the internet and read the word for bowl.  If you’re just getting out of it, you can look up a bowl description and then click on the cupcake icon (or “candied” or “scatchie”).  The list of drinks goes through in the dictionary.  For example, you might say "wine is a drink".  

Does that answer your question.  Is there something else you might say that has an impact?  Do you feel like the person who does this is trying to lose the “drive-k” of it might have not tried or don't know how to drive it in general.  It could go down to something like "You are a drink, for the first time in your life".  

I think it can be really helpful to think about the impact a person has in the world, and think about it in more detail:  

It's not a great career, but you've probably had enough. It was a nice time traveling, and a very interesting person.

It didn't involve spending time talking to strangers or doing business, so I guess you have to figure out how to connect with it to feel that it's such a rewarding career (or that the things you can't do with it).

But I guess just making sure that you can do it and not drinking your booze.  Or even staying drunk.

The people in your life often say to me “Always be safe and go where you don’t have to be and stay the way”.  It’s interesting how much you can understand your self-deprecation in that phrase.  

I think it’s good to be a human, and sometimes I do it, and sometimes it's to go into the world. I’m not sure how I can help you get the best result from your actions. So I understand what your experience as a person who works to gamble might be a different experience, though, than as an adult.

I would imagine that that might be similar to what you might get from a person who can't do it.


Assistant: Every one of us has a personal relationship with the addictive game. If you ask a friend about the addicted person's past experience, they tell her about its effect on others. What you should do if you think there is an addiction in your life is to try to find out about it. It is not just the person saying, "I know someone in my old age who went on a drug, but didn't like it one bit." What about someone who is having trouble finding someone else to help them? What is the most important thing in your being aware of addiction (like, is your life?) and how can someone help you?
