Minny,
Are you out there?
I want to be banned for three months; I am screwing up again in life. Too much freedom for me lately, I need moderation in my life again. Being self employed allows a person tremendous autonomy to come and go without explanations, work whatever hours I want unaccountable, and create whatever excuse to anybody what I am doing.
I have been using my time, screwing around at the office during the day, and then wasting/stealing my evening time away from my family. I have an addiction to surfing the internet and it isn't even porn; I can make endless hours disappear by surfing several car forums, this bk forum, and several stock trading sites. I am hanging out at the Flying Clubs Airplane Hanger (basically a place to have a few beers and hide from wives), getting speeding tickets, (two in the last six months), fishing trips, and etc. The time wasting list goes on and on for me, and I need to place some restraints on how I use my time.
In a sad way, I think with the burden of unsecured debt off my shoulders, my filing bk has screwed me up in a way, made me less accountable. I am not taking advantage of the fresh start opportunity as it was intended. What we all do with our fresh start is up to us, I just don't feel that I have regrouped and channeled my efforts in the right direction.
Yesterday I stayed late at my office, due to screwing around during the day. My youngest child had a serious fall last night that required many stitches. I feel partially responsible, and I could have possibly prevented this, by working 100% at my job during the day. I could have been home, and had a chance to possibly head this off. Seeing your child screaming in the ER room having stitches sewn in was a bit more in than I can handle.
There have been several extremely active posters over the year, which suddenly went away or toned down the number of posts they did, like bkfiler, stacymm, and credit hater. I think there comes a point were it is time to get on with life, and move forward like these other friends of the past did. Unfortunately for me, I need a few restrictions in place, to help.
I wish everyone well on the road to prosperity and financial independence. My instinct tells me not everyone will make the transition well and some will fall into the same fate again. I commend those who offer up advice, and donate such vast amounts of time to this board, I sure have appreciated it. We all give back in different ways for what we have gone through, for me that means living in the past, and not moving forward. Hopefully my little hiatus from the internet for a few months will put my priorities in order.
"It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has."

And I mean that as a compliment.
