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?
It does not make sense, but the truth is that most of these people are unable to control themselves and even when they do not want to gamble, they find themselves still doing it. Keeping to your word or staying disciplined is not something everyone can do on their own, some people actually require special help. One bad thing for those people who need help with quitting, but keep trying on their own is that whenever they try on their own and fail, they loose the confidence that they will be able to stop gambling on their own, so it becomes harder the next time.
People who need help, and know that they cannot do it on their own need to seek the services of special facilities that have been set up for it or professional who have been trained for it.
