Gambling Addiction

What % of winning players would you guys say have gambling addictions?
Do you think it helps or hurts your progress as a better poker player?
If you do have one, how do you best deal with it when trying to focus on other aspects of life?


I know that I crave the need to play sometimes after less then a day of not playing. I have not played for 2 weeks (due to me being in italy for vacation and it being illegal to play in italy) and I miss it terribly. Sometimes this bothers me, and I am wondering if other people go through similar things such as this.

also if u luv it now, eventually ull prolly get bored with it and do it less, and if u decide to do it for a job , it will become "a job". I used to play 15 hours a day and loved it so much, now i have to force myself to play 3-4 hours online a day, or 8 hours live a day.
