Desire to escape from reality can fuel gambling addiction.

The desire to escape from reality is a major risk factor for gambling addiction. When someone is unhappy with their life or struggling with stress, anxiety, or depression, they may turn to gambling as a way to escape from their problems.
Gambling can be a way to forget about the stressors of everyday life and feel like they're in control of something. However, escaping from reality through gambling often leads to more problems, and can actually make the original problems worse.

I can totally relate to this. There were times when I felt overwhelmed, and turning to gambling seemed like an escape. It's crazy how it starts as a way to cope, but ends up making things even more complicated. Learning to address the root issues is key.
