These stories are inspirational. They also make me a bit sad. I have a friend my age who is really declining. I can't imagine her ever having the gumption to turn her life around. Being nagged by loved ones only makes it worse. It has to come from inside.

So true. And some people can't get out of their own way. Not much you can do about it. It does have to come from inside!
