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?
Yes, we cannot equate everything between us and other individuals, this comes back to each individual. If I were in the position you mentioned above I certainly wouldn't do it again that each individual has different experiences, motivations, and ways of dealing with addiction. The pain and loss a person experiences can be a strong factor in not returning to gambling, but not everyone feels the same way or is able to overcome temptation in the same way. I will likely always remember the negative impacts of gambling that I experienced. Being aware of the consequences will provide a strong foundation for preventing myself from returning to the habit.
