It depends on the exact nature of the initial situation. Was he addicted or not? This makes all the difference.
A truly cured addict never returns to his addiction, neither in moderation nor in any other amount. NEVER.
Here is an example of someone who is clueless about addictions. I tagged him already before for his junk posts.
- If he was gambling occasionally as a hobby, there is nothing wrong with returning to it after a break. Many people do not consistently engage in all their hobbies for many reasons. A good example would be sports. Some people return to some sports that they have not played since they were very young.
- If he was addicted, then the situation is quite negative. People do not understand addictions at all. Even reading about addictions just gives them a superficial and false understanding of it. He has not cured his addiction, but has instead done other things that were essentially just temporary replacements for his addiction.

Most of us quit gambling when we got addicted, but the abstinence moments allowed us to heal, have a new orientation and replaced the addiction with a new activity and finally returned a more disciplined gambler.
Abstention does not heal addictions. It helps, but it does not heal it. Addiction has two parts: one is internal that is the issue inside your brain, and the other one is external that is the behavior itself. If you stop the behavior, it does not automatically cure your mind. Original archived Re: Reason to return to gambling after quitting
