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?
People who return to gambling after previously quitting may not necessarily be addicted to gambling, but they may return simply for entertainment. This is especially true if they stopped gambling to focus on their work, making it highly likely they'll gamble again only in their free time.
Given this situation, we can conclude that the person is not an addict. If we're talking about a gambling addict, it's impossible to stop gambling for a year. Usually, let alone a year, even a week is difficult for someone addicted to stop gambling.
