I saw a post about someone returning to gambling after quitting for some time, maybe a year or more. But my concern is not more on the return to gambling, rather it is on the very question I am about to ask that requires your opinions if really we want to solve the problem of gambling and addiction into it
What could be the reason for his return and what can be done to manage such situation?
This is what happens to gamblers. A friend of mine was involved in gambling for a long time. His father was a very rich man so he spent a lot of money on gambling along with his studies. Due to his gambling addiction, he used to miss sessions and his parents tried to correct him and they were able to bring him back from his addiction. He completed his education and entered the working life but he could not touch the gambling. When I met him a year ago, he was remorseful about his past because the addiction had damaged his education. When I asked him if he gambled now, he told me that I'm mature enough now and I could control myself in any situation. I was surprised when he said that he still gambles and is not addicted. Your thread reminded me of that friend. If someone starts gambling again, he will learn from his past mistakes and continue playing and will be much less likely to become addicted.
