Have you read that Bible chapter and verse that talked about the demon Jesus christ casted out of a man, that after a while, probably some days, weeks, months or years, the demon returned to check on the man and realized that the man was empty, and the demon went and brought seven more demons stronger than itself, and they all possessed the man again, and we were told that the later state of the man became worser than the former.. This is the story of a person I used to know..

Few days ago, I meet someone I used to know a long time ago after loosing contact for a long time, he was a gambler back then but before we lost contact, he stopped gambling as he found out he was gradually becoming addicted as at that time..

Long story short, I found his profile on Facebook, I messaged him and we started chatting, it turned out he now lived in the same city where I live, reconnected and meet again few days ago, he had grown very lean like someone who was sick or doesn't feed well, I tried to find out what the problem is with him and I found out he is now a chronic gambling addict, I tried finding out from him what lead him back to gambling but he simply said it's a long story and wouldn't say anything anymore...

And within myself, I am still wondering, what could possibly lead a person back to gambling after successfully quitting initially? Know well the reason for initially quitting was addiction, does it make sense to go back to gambling and become even more addicted?
