 That's great! Congratulations. Do you believe people deserve a second chance at life if they change their behavior?

 I believe in giving endless chances 🤷‍♀️ 

At least in the context of sobriety

 I was really lucky to kind of get it the first time, but a lot of my friends didn’t and relapsed a few times. I don’t believe in enabling, but I believe in being there when they’re ready

 That is lucky. I have witnessed the good and bad as well. I used to be the "I'll save you person" and realized I can't if they don't want that help. Always will be there if they need it..same.
