00:00:00.000 Kids will not listen to what you tell them to do.

00:00:01.980 They will watch what you do and decide to do that.

00:00:03.780 I don't remember what my parents told me to do.

00:00:05.600 I just remember what they did, and guess what?

00:00:07.680 That's what I did.

00:00:08.500 Too often when you get out of addiction,

00:00:10.080 there's this bad habit of wanting to go around

00:00:11.920 screaming at everybody about,

00:00:13.120 you gotta clean up, you gotta do this,

00:00:14.680 and you gotta go to 12-7.

00:00:15.700 And they're like, look, just go take care of you.

00:00:18.060 When they're ready, they will come to you,

00:00:19.800 and if you work on you,

00:00:20.840 you will have the resources to help them.

00:00:22.700 I didn't know that I was doing that,

00:00:24.160 but as soon as I got sober and out of trouble with the law,

00:00:26.760 all of a sudden, Pierre stopped doing stuff with the law.

00:00:28.920 That was the one thing that I love about the place I went to, Portage.

00:00:32.320 They said, be the lighthouse, not the tugboat.
