Relating that to gambling, I've noticed that the ragers are often the ones who derive their self-esteem from their gambling habits. I have no idea why anyone would want to tie their self-esteem to a game of chance, especially one where they're disadvantaged, but I don't have a gambling problem.

They're not after money. They're chasing a feeling.
Yes, that's what addiction is all about, chasing a feeling, a high of some kind.

I don't understand why people need to gain their self-esteem from gambling either. I have no desire to go to a Casino have never been to the ones that are in my state. And they want to build more? Ugh.

I don't have money I can throw away and if I did I would give it to someone who needs it or donate it where it can improve a life be it man or animal.
