Well like I said we all need help when it comes to the addictions and it’s very hard I know the hardest thing I did that I tell them well I talk about the 12 steps of our calls and number one step number one is a very hardest one of all it took me many years to say I’m an alcoholic it’s very hard step one no I knew I was an alcoholic but I could never admit it I was in denial I kept it inside of me I never let it out the problems I had you know like I said he took a long time to say I’m gonna call if I need help you know if somebody told me I was an alcoholic or a CEO you know but 13 change once we take that first step and admit we are we can’t control and these are things I teach my kid and then they know what I went through they did they went through they lost her mother their brothers and sisters and I told because of alcohol we going to teach my boy my girl I want you to quit I never owned and go through this again cuz of year something happened to you and they realize that now I can say to the molder and they realize these things that happens you know what I’m talking what when I talk about these things you know we’re not suicide we have a program called met and suicides that I work with now we go to each district and talk to the kids and now it’s working real well and hopefully we have more kids coming the parents come with them things that work a lot better if we have the parents come in with the kids not just the kids or you know we need this the parents and the kids to work together we need parents to teach the kids to pray in the morning at night one of the things I talk about to prayer the power of prayer in our tradition no matter what if it’s a wake funeral or any kind of soul bridge we have a plan we never starts anything without praying first prayer is number one that should be number one in our lives when we get up in the morning pray that’s what I do I thank God for the morning that he brought me to and I asked him to help me to go through the day and I will say I gave my problems time to go out so he can take the take care of them for me mm-hmm that helps me a lot I come to work in the evening again I thank God for the day that thing that we could if we do hopefully what we did during the day it’s going to help somebody the meanings we have to help somebody and now some of the people that did this morning come and work with me here so it really helped out and it helped me to like that’s it I need help
