I agree, the impacts will more negative and heavier than the first one that the gambler encounters it. And that's why if someone who's managed to get out and quit and set his life for good. He shouldn't go back but I know that they can't resist that because it's already in their hearts to gamble again. They'll be back for sure and that's why it won't change them as a gambler. Even if they have quit already because from time to time, they'll look again to it and instead of moving forward, they're going to be back and will move backward to see where they've come from.
A sports bettor who quits gambling after a long time has a chance of coming back. If he loves sports, then his chances will increase even more. Whenever there is a sports event, he will be inclined to bet.
Gambler can take a break from gambling for various reasons, so I don't think it is difficult to come back. Even if an addicted gambler comes back, I think he will definitely try to do it after understanding it. He will definitely refrain from taking the same kind of risks that he made in the past.
It is not hard to come back because access is always there and there is no restriction for us to come back. What will only stop us is our will and if we're the ones who are avoiding the access. A gambler will remain at his interest and if he's into sports, that will make him more interested to catch up by doing discussions and then when he sees others talking about their bets. He might be encouraged and attracted to also do his mine just to get involved and not to be left behind if he's into the conversation. So someone quitting and coming back, it's not an impossible thing but always have the chance to do it when it can be.
