You name it...she did it...30 long...draining...drawn out years...and not once...I repeat not once did I dehumanize or respect her as a person...I supported her...always gave her supportive, constructive criticism...God is Good...Today, she is four years clean...a drug counselor...engaged to be married...and just purchased a home.Support your friend. Do not turn your back on your friend. Encourage your friend with positive constructive criticism...and be certain to specifically verbalize their positive attributes placing emphasis on how he or she can utilize those attributes to live life to the fullest and how others would be grateful for the benefit they are blessed with from your friend being generous with the attributes...attributes that others long for...Never turn your back to a friend...Genuinely and Devotedly do all in your power to insure they shine. Life is Blessing!LIVE, LAUGH and LOVE.God Bless Sweetie.
