      Options.

       

      When I was gambling I had few options.

       

      Most of my money went on gambling so that limited things.

       

      No matter how I felt about my job, changing it wasn’t an option –  that was where I earned my “gambling tokens”.

       

      Planning pretty much anything for the future wasn’t an option – how could I commit to an event, a holiday,  a meal out, an outing etc etc  when I wouldn’t know how my luck/finances would be going in even a few days time?

       

      Now that I have stopped gambling?  Well something I heard at a meeting once was “If a compulsive gambler carries on gambling then all they will ever be is a compulsive gambler, stop gambling and address recovery and they can be anything they want to be.”  My options are back J
