WHAT TO DO ABOUT TOXIC FRIENDS? READ THIS: A very important question arose about friends, and when to cut them off from hurting you. The answer is--INSTANTLY. You dont have the life to waste. That doesnt mean hurting them, shaming them, or whatever--although, if you change your habits, they will often ACCUSE you of these things. They will try to drag you back, to test you, to blame you for making them feel bad and so forth. But guess what? If you can change healthfully, AND STILL LOVE YOUR FRIENDS, while never allowing them to hurt you, BUT NOT REJECTING THEM, slowly, they will come toward the light. After all, they desperately want to heal, to grow. They are waiting for you to abandon them, as they perceive the world has. If you dont, but simultaneously lose that weight, or stop drinking, or find a healthy mate, or a healthy career, slowly, they will come to you and whisper that they want to know how you did it. But you have to keep the love connection, you cannot judge them, you have to continue to see the divinity within them, and NEVER see yourself above them--although your behaviors may well be more enlightened than theirs. YOU HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO SUCCEED, to be happy, and healthy, and sane, and wildly in love. Then, you are the light that shows them the direction to go. - Steve Barnes
