Reason to return to gambling after quitting

[WhoYouCantKill]

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?

Returning to gambling isn't the main problem, but returning with the same mentality as before.

Most of us quit gambling when we got addicted, but the abstinence moments allowed us to heal, have a new orientation and replaced the addiction with a new activity and finally returned a more disciplined gambler.

If the gambler has solved the reason he left and is prepared to gamble responsibly, then he's fine.

Often times we return to gambling when we get bored of refraining from it or becoming interested again from association with gambler peers

It depends on the exact nature of the initial situation. Was he addicted or not? This makes all the difference.

• If he was gambling occasionally as a hobby, there is nothing wrong with returning to it after a break. Many people do not consistently engage in all their hobbies for many reasons. A good example would be sports. Some people return to some sports that they have not played since they were very young.
• If he was addicted, then the situation is quite negative. People do not understand addictions at all. Even reading about addictions just gives them a superficial and false understanding of it. He has not cured his addiction, but has instead done other things that were essentially just temporary replacements for his addiction.

A truly cured addict never returns to his addiction, neither in moderation nor in any other amount. NEVER.
Here is an example of someone who is clueless about addictions. I tagged him already before for his junk posts.

Abstention does not heal addictions. It helps, but it does not heal it. Addiction has two parts: one is internal that is the issue inside your brain, and the other one is external that is the behavior itself. If you stop the behavior, it does not automatically cure your mind.

Someone can return to gambling after stabilizing their financial life, for an example. Always remember gambling is for those who can afford to lose money, so it's essential to have an organized, stable and abundant financial life in order to be able to gamble.

When finances aren't favourable, and there are debts to pay off, or even investments to be made, gambling has to stay in second plan, until the situation improves again. That is why it's necessary to quit sometimes, although it doesn't have to be definitively.

What could be the reason for his return ...

There are several reasons, the most common are,

- The person failed to find other activity to take up that time that was formerly used in gambling.
- They failed to identify their trigger to gamble, so they relapsed.
- They failed to do things differently after their new resolution not to gamble again.

what can be done to manage such situation?

Identify and know your triggers so you can avoid them, and then after the resolution to quit gambling, you have to make the conscious effort of avoiding habits, situations, or even people that will make you want to gamble.

You can't say you want to quit gambling, but you still actively go through game odds, etc., or things like that.

A return to gambling after a period of abstinence can be attributed to various factors, including stress, boredom, emotional distress, exposure to triggers such as advertisements or gambling apps, and a lack of social support. Even after a prolonged period without gambling, encountering these triggers can reignite the desire to gamble.

If someone isn't addicted to gambling, but they have a very limited budget and need to pay bills, they'll stop gambling because it's the best solution. But the day they have a very high budget, they'll start gambling again. In this case, they're acting very well and with a strong sense of responsibility.

Now, when we have a case where someone is addicted to gambling, goes to a rehab clinic, is cured, and a year later starts gambling again, what usually happens is that the person who was addicted to gambling, after leaving the clinic, must have encountered the same problem that led to their addiction, which is why they started gambling again.

Why do we need to create another topic for this discussion when we already have one topic that we are talking about gambler's that quite gambling for addiction reasons and now coming back to it again,, let lock this thread and concentrate on the other thread you can still have all your questions answered on that thread and beside a lot of comments already answered that question on that thread.

The only person in best position to answer this question was the gambler that got returned back to gambling, he can explain better on the reason that makes him quit and what he sees that makes him returned back into gambling, because this is more about personal experience in gambling from the affected gambler.

I don't know what or whose post you have seen but I have made several of such posts showing my history quite some time ago, it was exactly about more than 6 months in my case and the reason was watching some streamers/influences in Youtube about the newest slot games from many providers and especially for me Pragmatic Play, so I decided to give it a go. I tried Gates of Olympus Super Scatter latest in the series and in my first occasions of returning I happen to win like x2000 to x3000 multipliers of my bet amount in those wins, that kept me going for some time but again greeted with defeat, heavy defeats I would say from same provider and game, I have quit since about 1 month or so again. There is no coming back when you have already decided, there maybe just some weak moments in between though in the end you will emerge victorious against gambling overall.

Well ask yourself, did you really able to completely quit the thing you choose to quit?

Example as we get older, people quit to playing video games and choose to focus on their career, after you make a good career, do you really not play video game in your whole life?

It's all about nostalgia, people want to try something that makes them enjoy when they were young, it's not about they still not yet get rid from gambling, but they just want to play for once from many years they've stop.

Your thread topic should still be related to the discussion of the thread you are referring to. You could actually post it in that thread without creating another one.

If you are someone who has been gambling for a long time, you can actually conduct your own experiments. There are many factors that lead a former gambler to return to gambling. Perhaps if you want to try that experience and share the reasons for your return to gambling, it might be more interesting.

Good point, I didn't see that one. You don't need to ask the question why, you know the answer is always the same. So that his alt accounts and spamming colleagues can create 10 pages worth of generic posts.

It is not really. Most people behave in similar ways and you can group their behavior in categories. You may think you are unique, but you are not. The topic is pretty interesting even if most people are misinformed about these things.

The reason that he is too silly to understand the main goal of gambling, especially random games.
The only way in gambling to get profit is predictable gambling or gambling where you can influence the result. It is the way, where you skills can be useful. All other kinds of gambling are only for getting fun. Someone can get a prize, but it is random too. And the chance to get jackpot, less than to become a major in any city(try to use such examples. Silly people don`t understand what means 0.001%).

If I have had that kind of long break away from gambling I don't think I would like to resume ot back especially when you still watch or keep an eye on gambling activities. For me I feel the only reason why someone would come back and gamble after such long break is maybe due to the fact that the person must have stopped due to his reckless acts of gambling and maybe felt the need to slow down so that he can manage his gambling habits.

OP, you would have dropped the link to the post you are referring to to enable us to have a clear understanding of the situation. A few reasons that I think could make one return to gambling after quitting might include;
1. Association: If you still hang out with gamblers, you might be influenced to start gambling again.
2. Greed/competition: I know someone who went back to gambling because his friend won big. He felt he would have also won big since he was a better gambler. 

[finaleshot2016]

If you really want to return in gambling, just make sure you have different mindset and perspective towards gambling. If you quit gambling because of addiction and loss of money then I think you should've learned your lessons but if you're still doing the same mentality in gambling, then it's gonna be another waste of time and money. Every mistake we made in the past shouldn't be done in the present, it's a lesson we should always put in our minds that gambling is not easy way for money-making.

It's hard to quit again if you already managed to so why comeback to a space where you had reasons why you quit, pure non-sense.

Here is one person who has no experience in gambling but constantly poses as a gambler.

A truly cured addict never returns to his addiction, neither in moderation nor in any other amount. NEVER.
Here is an example of someone who is clueless about addictions. I tagged him already before for his junk posts.  

Most of us quit gambling when we got addicted, but the abstinence moments allowed us to heal, have a new orientation and replaced the addiction with a new activity and finally returned a more disciplined gambler.

Abstention does not heal addictions. It helps, but it does not heal it. Addiction has two parts: one is internal that is the issue inside your brain, and the other one is external that is the behavior itself. .

If you read my post very well, you'll see the lines where I mentioned replaced the addiction with a new activity . The way to stop yourself from being trapped in an addiction of any kind is to find solace in another.

Addiction doesn't necessarily mean something is bad but it means you frequented it abnormally and returning with more control and awareness isn't a bad decision.

If you stop the behavior, it does not automatically cure your mind

Same reason you've got go keep your mind busy with a new hobby which can be a skill or a job to reconfigure your subconscious that more priority should be given to the more useful activity and gambling becomes an option and no longer a priority in your mind.

I won't agree with you that this account is alt of the other member that created the first thread, and his intention may be pour, but the only mistake is not using the Forum search feature to know is something like this have been discussed before, because if he did he could have seen the first thread I referred to above, regardless, I advice that ops lock this thread right away.

I think  this user thinks that the best way to make a good post here in this thread is by throwing tantrums around.  He should start from proving that OP is the alt account of the former. Rather than making up baseless claims with no evidence to back it up.

Well I wouldn't blame him, filling up a weekly quota has not been easier than when posting on the gambling board.
