What could be the reason for his return and what can be done to manage such situation?
Surely gambling addiction is a strong force that can be hard to leave despite what we say. We mig wish to quit but deep down we have not completely decided to quit. There is a difference
"I will" and "
I must" I will stop and I must stop are two different things when you say you will stop gambling is like you didn't say it whole heatedly, but when you say I must stop gambling, it comes with a strong commitment that you must abide to it, and this will help you to stop it totally. But if you haven't made a serious decision you might never quite gambling totally.
Yes you are right gambling is a strong addiction and it is very difficult to turn away from it, you must admit that if someone wants to quit gambling then they cannot do it completely they have to do it gradually and even then it is difficult to stop gambling completely. I have seen my friend who gambles but after a big loss he quits it but when he got money he started playing again. He had taken many vows to stop gambling but he could not, but I will say if you can make a firm decision to quit then maybe you can quit but you will find it difficult to quit gambling.
