Characteristics of a Compulsive Gambler

What does one think when the word immature is said? One might think of a teenage boy who still plays with his food, or a teenage girl who whines a lot. According to a GA group, this "immaturity" is a "desire to have all the good things in life without any great effort on their part". This GA community believes that the best way to describe this is by saying that it is just "a need to have what one wants". Just like a four year old child that is spoiled and gets whatever he or she wishes by not earning it. By comparing these immature adults with four year olds it will clearly show and will be more understanding that both seem to have one desire in common. This desire that they share in common is a type of satisfaction. This satisfaction is based on how each individual reacts, "desire to have" everything they want without thinking of a way to earn it.
