The truth is people,that seldom do people have the capacity to be honest anough to themselves and others and admit there is a problem at hand.Abusing leads to addiction as abuse is repetitive in nature and draws us to circles,I just call it the devil.

ABUSE...
Abuse is truly the root of all addictions,call it an addictive personality it's just an abusive personality spawned from seeing hearing and doing abuse or evil.Yes all those times you were mentally abused at school even by kids takes it's toll,and rare do kids speak of it they just burry it,and the thorn plant grows.

By the time you are an adult or only a teen you have already given up yourself and traded your soul for popularity,the stress of money is creeping in as you now have to be working soon the mental pressure grows and the evil breathes.It is all the evil put together that drains our self control family valiues etc...Gambling is simply a form of self abuse as is abuse of anything even food for that matter.

The ROOT...And the lies!
Yes we would like to think the only thing wrong with our gambling or drug addicted loved ones is only the drug and the gambling itself but gambling and self abuse are only the signs we have problems.Drugs and gambling is not our problem actually its our cure,it takes our mind off things but in a destructive way.But an addiction is simply an outer sign that there is something wrong deep inside.

So now that we know gambling and abuse of all kinds are not the problems themselves we can now identify the true roots which I truly believe is simply deadly sin indulgence,for example greed is a deadly sin and gambling addiction is truly spawned from greed in your heart,giving only to take away more is pure greed ain't it.Anger is another deadly sin so really it is a matter of a lack of spiritual growth,they take out religion and spiritualism out of schools and now our generation have sin problems and honesty problems,perhaps a little time spent on reading the Bible and how sinners dont go ahead in life might help.And confessing would perhaps give us a more honest population?It is still proven that spiritual and religious people are indeed less sick,prone to impulse and abuse or mental illness than agnostics.

Rotting Souls...
Yes our souls are rotting because they are not growing at all since we have trained ourself to disban our souls and take it as a big lie and fantasy...Whatever you want to call it,your soul,your overmind or just your network of electrical signals I don't know but it's there and if you don't work on it well like anything else in your body it shrinks to a dry shell.
Whatever your belief get help,because if you don't even realize by gambling and abusing yourself that you are sinning and that sinning is bad,you are already insane and don't even know right from wrong and might need psychiatric help not just annonymous groups.

Personally god holds the answers believe it or not but nothing ever changed for me until I went with god,and now I am GODLIKE!
