Hi Klopp66,

In my day the school leaving age was 15. I left school on the Friday & started work on the Monday, First week of earning I stepped into a bookmakers & my final gamble was Aug 2018 aged 63. Not something to be proud of but when I first became serious about wanting to stop a wise man told me " It's never too late to stop ". He was right, welcome to the forum & keep posting on your progress.

Best Wishes

AL
