Gambling Adrenaline Rush
Gambling has the same psychoactive properties as cocaine and heroin-the same chemicals are affected (adrenaline, dopamine, endorphins) in all three drugs when the addicts are in action. Gamblers do not gamble for money but seek 'action' through the psychoactive drug-like effects offered by gambling. Gambling is a hobby that many people enjoy, whether it’s to win big on the money stakes, provide a much-needed rush of adrenaline or simply to socialise with friends. However, as glamorous as the gambling world may seem, an increasing number of players are finding themselves addicted to the game.
Back ground: Gambling Adrenaline Rush Games
I am a graduate student 23 years of age with a modest job and applying for a career in medicine. I am quiet guy that is lovable and loved by my family and friends. I do not get into trouble and I would rate my life as stable and rather steady.I consider my self intelligent and wise in all aspects of my life. I have a girlfriend that I am very close to as well as my family. However, something keeps me away from sharing my gambling 'issue' with anyone. This is the first time I ever tell anyone.

The issue:I was sitting peacefully alone in my room minding my own business. It had been a while that I have not been active both physically and mentally. I occasionally embark in physical activity however, it is intermittent. To escape my sad reality, I sought an experience that would give me a drive, energy or a sort of a boost that can serve as a wake-up call. I haven’t played a single hand at the Casino for over 6 months; before then, I experienced an episode of gambling addiction that was moderate of some sort. I gambled 3000$ $, lost it and won it back and did't come back. I was so proud of myself until I got up of my computer chair and headed for the Casino that night. With no goal in mind, I pulled 400$ from the ATM machine and gambled it away. The 400$ soon became 1000$ and the 1000$ soon became 3000$. I went back home with no feeling at all. I was expecting to at least feel some sort of sadness to get me going but nothing was midst my abnormal emotional state. The next day, around 10:00 PM I drove off to the Casino seeking the same sort of drive that I was searching for initially. I pulled out 500$ from the ATM which soon become 1200$. I drove home smiling. A weird sense of emotion was felt that night. It was a sense of reality; or better yet, it was a revelation of what a man is capable of. I thought about the harm I can do if I had 100K in my hands with a family and children. The thought made me smile; but not out of foolishness but out of disgust. I will not make that a reality that my family will see of me. I am better than that and will not any addiction overcome me.
I do not want to become an addict. In two days I lost 4100$. Thinking back, I truly don’t care about the money. I care about who I am. I am glad that I lost this money as long as I have learned a lesson. I promised not to go back as I truly do not enjoy anything related to the Casino; not even winning. I go there for the adrenaline. I need a new way to make me feel alive again! I want to be alive again. I just want the adrenaline rush. Anyone has a successful substitute?
