From what I’ve seen and also from my own experience a return to gambling after quitting often comes from a mix of triggers things like stress, boredom, loneliness or even just curiosity about trying again. Sometimes people get a false sense of control thinking I’ve been clean for a year maybe I can handle it now unfortunately that’s where the cycle can restart. I think the key is recognising the triggers early and having a plan in place before they lead to a relapse. It’s not about perfection but about building resilience one step at a time.
Yes, a person was a gambler in the past, but he abstained from gambling for some time in between, he has now decided to return to gambling again. There may be various reasons behind this, such as he may decide to gamble for entertainment purposes to relieve excess pressure in his career. We must always remember that gambling is not primarily a way to earn money for entertainment or get rich quick, gambling cannot be a part of our life. It is better to manage gambling with money that we can afford to lose, so that it does not put financial pressure on ourselves. In order to manage gambling properly and maintain self-control over ourselves, it is wise to manage gambling by setting time and money limits.
