just wondering if others in here have had to declare bankruptcy because of gambling. I have and people tell me it must be a good feeling to get rid of your bills, Well i guess the good feeling hasnt hit me yet, because i always got to wonder now what people at work and neighbors and so on are thinking. People dont say any thing about it but you know darn well they talk crap when i am not around, mainly people at work i'm talking about. i have pretty much convinced myself not to worry about stuff like this, just do what i got to do and get my life back in order. But the main reason i bring the subject up here is, i am wondering if there are others out there that went bankruptcy and after that still found them selves gambling. thats what i have done, i got myself out of one big mess and am on my way to making another one, gotta stop now before this gets any worse.
i borrowed thousands from banks and family, and went broke time after time, but still kept punting.
im about 3 weeks away from my 3rd bankruptcy and this time it will be a loss of a house
i'll be stuffed if they take it from me again.
but guess what mate? its not the bankruptcy that is the worst ting that can happen, its the not waking up to yourself and heading down the path again that i will always regret.
Please, i pray that you accept you have a second chance and try not to blow it, because it aint pretty when you do
bankruptcy is a doddle and these days not the stigma it used to be. dont fret about it.
i am 2 days GF and proud to come this far!
cheers
