Yeah, you know, and I think personally I would, I would think that's a huge factor in somebody's happiness and which then affects everything in their life, right sobriety and love and relationships, and even with your kids like so, and I've seen it over and over again- when people start to understand where they're from and their identity, even though they don't grasp the whole concept, they don't get everything.
