started off by going to docs, then referred to GDAS which is a sort of councelling place and you can have free acupuncture in your ears which makes you feel really groovy and relaxed, then refered to local hospital who deal with drugs and alcohol and they set up the dettox, If I didnt have all the support from family, friends, and the new friends at GDAS I wouldn't of done it.
Hope this helps loulouB/R 29/01/08 9.55am:T

All I can say is that the experience i had filling out the forms for B/R made me feel sick, scared, dirty, useless, and many other feelings were going on.
But then the phone would ring and people were demanding money I wouldn't open the post my mum would, then i had a letter saying that the balliffs were coming if i didnt pay my bill, I pooed my pants!!:eek:
That was it for me after 2 weeks farting around with the forms (which i did online) i completed them then rang the court to get a date to go see them this was done all in one day. I had an appointment for 9.15 by that time 4 other people became bankrupt the court was amazing especially the security guards they told us step by step how thing were going to happen who people were, and telling us jokes it wasnt that scary. I didn't even see a judge!!
you must truely think hard its not easy,go through everything with the CAB, make sure your home is not in threat as i was told that because i had arrears i would be evicted, My parents bless them are paying it for me at £10 a week.
Check and double check. ask alot of questions even if you think they are silly ask.
I hope this helps
GOOD LUCK dont keep things to yourself speak to people xxxxxxx
