Gambling has the same physical effects on the body almost that drinking or smoking has. I’m not talking about the effects on the liver or other secondary organs I’m talking about the most important organ in your body. Your brain, gambling works on the same chemicals that make you feel good that drinking and smoking or that drugs do. You’re not understanding the stimulus that one can get from things out side of ones’ self. When you look at a great piece of Art or a beautiful sun set and you feel good, that feeling starts from the outside and causes an increase in serotonin which is the feel good chemical in your brain. Gambling does the same thing. You don’t have to take something inside of your body for it to affect you.
