I think it's a lifeline.

Without some type
of interaction

with people that have
been where you've been

and feel what you feel

and have done a lot of the
same things that

you've done,

you're looking for
something out there

that you wanna grab onto
and use for an anchor,

but without some
kind of therapy,

you know, connection
with somebody

that's been where
you've been,

you don't have that anchor.

Group therapy is
wonderful for that.

We're all brothers
in that room.

I mean, we have a
phone list.

One of us gets in
a bad place,

needs to talk to somebody
else, we've got a list.

Just go down the list 'til
somebody answers the phone,

because we know how
critical it is

to have somebody out there
you can reach out to.

It's like having a crisis
line but it's in

your backyard.
