THE ADDICTIVE PERSONALITY: COMMON TRAITS ARE FOUND
Who is the addict? With addictive tragedies striking every community in the nation - with many millions of Americans addicted to alcohol and drugs alone - legions of scientists are asking: What aspects of psychological makeup contribute to addiction? Are there common threads that weave through all addictions, from hard drugs to cigarettes, from gambling to overeating?

i wouldnt be surprised if was in the genes.
i know a guy who was a gambling and drug addict.
his farther was an alcoholic, and his grandmother on his fathers side was too.
i know a few other addicts and most claim to have addicts (but often of different types) in their families.
not exactly scientific proof - but a thought.

I hear ya...I see little old ladies ( 80 yrs old at least ) gambling their welfare checks/ SS checks at the poker table at the HARD ROCK CASINO here in florida..they buy like $20 at a time and i feel bad taking their money; but hey at 80yrs old they have the right to do whatever they want dont ya think....
I went out there Friday night. I'm not a fan of the slots but when I saw a row of machines named Seminole Pride, I correctly deduced that the tribe would rather give a reasonable payout on those particular games than have gamblers walk out muttering Seminole's suck!
