gone back to

Returned to previously

Gone back to indicates returning to something previously left or abandoned.

You might go back to a job you quit, go back to an old habit, or go back to a place you once lived: She's gone back to her maiden name, I've gone back to drinking coffee.

It can also mean revisiting something mentally: Let's go back to what you said earlier.
