My parents were very strict – I went off the rails when I turned 18 and found myself 1600 km’s away from home working – particualrly wrt to the booze and girls.

I was about 22-24 when I ended up getting into ‘religion’ and then got burned out.

I reckon the majority of my clients are my clients because they were exposed to adult freedoms (ie, cigarettes, dope, alcohol, M-rated movies & games, Cleo etc mags) when they were still kids. It meant that in order to 'bust out' when they were older, the ciggie behind the shed, the one-off drunken party and the naughty mags at your mates place simply weren't enough... so they busted out harder, and ended up in the justice system! Parents - do your kids a favour, and say 'no' once in a while! It's good for them, and cathartic for you!! :) This is huge for me!
