As long as they desire not to feel that "remorse" anymore and don't want to gamble anymore, regret is what they do and they really won't come close to gambling even if they are invited to gamble by their friends. But if the "remorse" only occurs when they are done gambling because they have suffered a loss but still want to return to gambling, it is not truly remorse coming from their heart. It's just a regret for having lost the money they used to gamble and they will try to do better next time. But the next opportunity probably wouldn't change the outcome, so they better consider accepting it.
