The
next step in the process of change is deciding on your goals. For
example:
• When do you want to change?
• Do you want to stop gambling or just gamble less than you
do now?
Remember that change is a process and it will take time. The first
three months are usually the most difficult. The period after that
will be hard too, but not quite like when you began to change. Although
getting through this process may seem very difficult, the experience
of many people shows that you can change your gambling patterns.
To change these patterns, you must first make a decision. Think about
what changes
you would like to make. For example, you may decide that you want
to completely stop gambling in the next year, or that you want to
limit your gambling activity over
the next six months.
Which of the following options would you choose?
