Here is one person who has no experience aboutin gambling but constantly poses as a gambler. Cheesy

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.  Cheesy

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.
If you read my post very well, you'll see the lines where I mentioned replaced the addiction with a new activity . The way to stop yourself from being trapped in an addiction of any kind is to find solace in another.

Addiction doesn't necessarily mean something is bad but it means you frequented it abnormally and returning with more control and awareness isn't a bad decision.

Same reason you've got go keep your mind busy with a new hobby which can be a skill or a job to reconfigure your subconscious that more priority should be given to the more useful activity and gambling becomes an option and no longer a priority in your mind.
