### Comment:
You can do it--was 4k in the hole and dug myself out (and then some) and quit options. Have a stock portfolio mainly selling spread and covered calls--my biggest rule now? Don't buy options. 
  
 Doesn't quite replicate the crack of watching a good options play skyrocket, but it scratches the itch mostly. Can still play riskier positions but know that I am gaining passive $$ with the stonks that are relatively infinitely less risky.

It's this hopium that's gotten me where I am now... Kept chasing the dragon
