What could a thesis statement be for a 4-5 page report on Gambling Addiction?

Public Comments

1. The harm it causes the family The harm it causes to his work ability The harm it causes his credit. The harm it causes his reputation
2. Gambling may seem fun to many but in the long run it can turn into to an addiction which can lead to problems in family life, health, and many others.
3. Figure out what you want to talk about then figure out your thesis. Talk about how it destroys families or how gambling leads to other addictions, or how gambling leads to stealing from work.
4. Gambling addictions have risen with the increase in Internet users.
5. Addiction to Gambling is a Choice. All addictive behavior is the result of choice. Personal responsibility for the negative consequences of acting out an addiction is the most powerful and empowering truth that an addict may use to decide to quit and remain abstinent. Sadly, truth is a rare commodity among the cognitive distortions affected by the addict. "It is understandable that people wish to explain their problems and pathologies in terms of forces which come from outside themselves, and over which they have no power" Stanton Peele, The Addiction Experience
