Hi maverick, I hope you got on well with the vat people.
When we stop gambling we are faced with so many problems .. I can’t advise you on business matters but I hope it a works out .
Lots of people lose a business and start. Up again successfully. Don’t feel that you will have lost face or the trust of others . It is just a fact that businesses sometimes fail.
You have stopped gambling maverick. You are working through the urges. You are ready to pick up the pieces and build a great life .
