This gripping story of addiction comes straight from Bildad himself. From the time he p*ssed himself on his mother's couch to the time he showed up to an exam after drinking all day, nothing is held back.
"...I didn’t pay the rent. I drank half of it and convinced my silly self that I would recover the money through betting. I lost the bet too. I can’t even remember what the games were. Trouble set in. The landlord was on my case.
And then I made another mistake that I still regret to this day.
I took my friend’s telly and gas cooker to a local shylock. The plan was to place a sure bet to recover the belongings plus the rent. Mission failed again. I think this was one of my lowest moments. I told my friend that I could not raise the rent. “Don’t worry, I will send someone to pick my stuff up. Meanwhile, go home and talk to your parents.’’ He replied. To say the least, I was depressed. Here is a guy coming for his belongings yet they are not there."
