		<description><![CDATA[The reason people get addicted to anything is because it makes them feel good. The reason why people get addicted to gambling is there&#8217;s a potential for them to feel better at the end of the involvement with the gambling, at least at first. Things don&#8217;t make you feel better, chances are that you won&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The reality is that in all addictions and behavioral addictions included, there is a strong genetic component and a strong social, psychological, component. The research is inconclusive, but it varies to a small percentage to 5-50. If you grew up in a monastery, would you become a gambler? Chances are you wouldn&#8217;t, even though you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s part and parcel of why it&#8217;s so difficult, is because you have pushed away more adaptable, healthier ways to feel good. You have nothing left, you don&#8217;t have your family, you don&#8217;t have your job, you don&#8217;t have your bank account. Well, you&#8217;ve got this one little, minuscule way of coping with life, of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s very difficult to be absolutely concrete about behavioral addiction. Everybody&#8217;s different. For some people, there&#8217;s a small genetic component and a large part is psychological or sociological.
