November 3 2022 - The start

 well its took a while but we are getting ahead with setting everything up .

 site is basic as i had to start over from scratch due to some technical difficulties 

but it will improve day to day .Most importantly theres links up to hotlines all around the world , 

we are based out of Alabama and have people in several states lined up to be a part of this project ,

Also we have made connections with groups in Canada , Australia and the Uk and hope they get on board 

and we look forward to many more joining the team which will allow us to reach far to let everyone know 

are not alone , that they can get through this , one step at a time . Through all the conversations across the

world theres the same repeating pattern about talking and dealing with addictions , emotions , depression

 , anxiety , suicidal thoughts etc , and thats fear , fear of no one listening , fear of no one caring , fear of

 ridicule , fear of information being used against them , fear of retaliation , do i even need to keep going , 

its so sad to know that a simple" hey are you ok " could have such a massive impact and possible be life

 saving words .But because of all the aura and stigma attached to mental health we are losing brothers and 

sisters left and right , i was just shocked as i looked at the World Health Organization statics for worldwide

suicide listen at between 700,00 - 800,000 a year with almost as many attempts . Men hold the highest

 number at 3.5 times more then likely than women , that seems to be part of the stigma that men are 

supposed to be the tough ones and not talk about or show their feeling , this is one of the things that needs

 to stop . 1 death is too many let alone 800,00, I myself have had 3 attempts and i will be honest only one 

was a serious attempt , but that feeling of no one caring and being ashamed inched me closer to actually 

going through with it , but we will save that talk for the Podcast.
