THIS IS THE SITUATION: You are undergoing treatment for gambling addiction for two months already and only your family knows it, then one day one of your long-time buddies who you used to accompany to gamble in casinos wants to treat you for a night in a casino, and you have not seen each other for a very long time and he just want to reminisce old times.
Will you turn him down or agree to go to the casino for old time's sake.
No.
-/These types of real life situations, which generate that question you ask, depend on the circumstances in which they happen and on the individuality of each person.
In any case, let's go to the practical example; if he's a true friend, then he should know it, that means he's not the kind of friend you need to be around.
One of the things that I have seen and for which if one has experience or knows someone who has lived through a situation of addiction, any type, is isolation, it is something really complex to explain but I could say that it is what should happen to avoid those kinds of situations that the OP just mentioned.
It is believed that isolating him in places like his home or that of a family member works, but in fact he must find places that offer this service, some are paid but others are offered by existing NGOs or foundations./-
