I’m sorry but I disagree with you on the statement you made in your reply. I have definitely suffered withdrawal symptoms from not gambling. The fact that I am feeling cravings to gamble because I am not gambling at the moment is a withdrawal symptom of not gambling. I have also gotten very angry because I have wanted to gamble and I haven’t gambled, very much like when you stop smoking and then resist the urge to spark up a straight. I have felt the same tension in my body as well as my brain. I would of thought by the very definition of being addicted to something implies there will be mental and physical withdrawal symptoms, if there wasn’t then the addiction wouldn’t exist and we wouldn’t have a problem when it was time to stop doing it. This is just my own opinion of course.
