First thing I learned as an addict: you can’t make someone else change.

No matter how hard you try, you just can’t. They have to make up their own mind to change the way they live their life, make their choices, and face their consequences.

Today, I have to confront a friend about making a change. Either he will, or he won’t. All I can do is show him the consequences of choosing not to, and that’s losing me as a friend.

I hate doing this. I hate it. And, at the end of today, I could very well be facing some dire consequences of my own. Good thing I’ve got a parachute lined up, just in case.

Cross your fingers.
