I think what happens is when we come to that point of asking ourselves enough is enough is when we are at our weakest moment. We don't have that strength to carry on and we feel like giving up is the best option which is often the saddest mistake we make.

I guess if we find that one person who is there for us thats when we can push forward and move on with our lives.<br /><br />http://thatstwowords.blogspot.com/Davidferns7http://thatstwowords.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738464753043442833.post-81832156083121230152011-11-21T21:17:48.729-05:002011-11-21T21:17:48.729-05:00i too have walked away from situations like this.....i too have walked away from situations like this.... chin up you did the right thing.<br />http://pearlsonstring.blogspot.com/erinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738464753043442833.post-61058830202658092722011-11-20T15:20:03.116-05:002011-11-20T15:20:03.116-05:00Sounds like you're getting yourself back on th...Sounds like you're getting yourself back on the track of scattered joy is what it sounds like to me!!Kristy Lorenzennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738464753043442833.post-72022284300415855542011-11-20T11:26:05.879-05:002011-11-20T11:26:05.879-05:00i grew up with an addict. that person is no longer...i grew up with an addict. that person is no longer in my life.

Really the only way you can help others is by shining your own light so brightly that they finally see it and are warmed by it, or they are blinded by it and turn away.
