Could be the worst one for me.
Drugs are a bit easier to understand....sedation, numbing pain, the high, etc...there is something that almost seems dirtier to me about gambling addictions.
All addictions are terrible and sad, I wish them on no one. - Barb34
I've heard a gambling addict say they're chasing the bottom...not the win, the bottom...that's why they play until they lose...
...knew a casino blackjack dealer who was dealing to a bottoming-out degenerate...he looked at the next card and told the guy, actually tipped him off, this next card will bust you...trying to save him....the guy hit

I always considered that the easiest and best addiction until...
Had a friend/colleague with it. It was amazing what he would go through to get laid. Always thought the addiction was more like just a strong urge to get laid....nope....this guy would stack and step on the bodies of his dying children if he needed the extra boost to close the deal on a finger bang...and the girl did NOT have to be attractive at all. That was the worse part. It was crazy. - Barb34
I knew a guy who lost his house and daughter due to needing to specifically hit on his friend's girlfriends...needless to say lost all his friends too

Probably because at least drugs come from some level of importance to modern medicine.
Gambling addictions is just the man continuously slapping someone in the face and then stealing their money.
Mitch Marner will have a superb season -- and all of the haters will be proven wrong.
Together with McDavid, Pettersson and Barzal, one of the most creative and exciting young FWs to watch in this league.
I predict Marner will be top5 in scoring this season in the league.

Unfortunately,I have close experience with someone who had a gambling addiction. It ended with his suicide. He left behind a 10 year old son, and 8 year old daughter.

What about sex addiction. That seems happy to me. I feel that is one of those addictions that is only really a problem when you try to quit - Aetherial
Have you ever seen the movie Shame with Michael Fassbender? That definitely puts sex addiction in perspective.
