Often true! Except, I find, far too many people _haven't_ actually learned the fact that they can only change themselves...;)

True. It's such a painful lesson to learn.

When you think of cases like friends or family struggling with drug addiction or mental illness, I know that if love COULD HAVE changed them...then many of us would've succeeded already.

Ah. Yes, I see; I was thinking of a different kind of change myself, but you are also right. And I am sorry you had such a difficult experience.

But yes, drug addiction, and mental illness, as I'm sure you know, have other factors involved, which makes changing all the more difficult...and yes, AA famously says that a person has to hit rock bottom (for that person) to want to change...
