I’m not sure there isanything harder than coming to the realization that no matter what you do youcan’t save someone from themselves.  Ifirmly believe that family, friends and loved ones should be lovedunconditionally…up to a point.  I do havea condition when it comes to watching someone destroy themselves.  It is just hard to know what that line reallyis and when is the right time to be the better friend by walking away from thesituation.   All you can really do ishope that one day they will truly want to change.  The joy and pride in seeing someone you careabout finally figure out that they are the only person in charge of their ownhappiness is immeasurable.  It just canbe difficult when you can’t help them see what you already know to be true. 
On a lighter note, thismorning we had sweet potato biscuits.  I highlyrecommend trying it!
