Good article! It helped me feel better, more at peace, over a hard decision I made a few years ago. We were friends with a couple, and they did every single one of those points. We tried hard to address the concerns, as the author suggests, without success. We finally decided to cut them out of our life. I hated giving up on them and I've sometimes worried that I gave up too soon. However, I've been happier and much less stressed since we cut them out, so I've let it be. This article gives me even more confidence that it was the right thing to do.

Thanks for offering us that perfect example of point #1!

I'm doing great Jeff, I'm currently on day 23 of a 92 day Juice Feast. I'm preparing to plant my 1st acre of Organic Vegetables for supplying the Let's Not Meat Restaurant and Health Center. I believe I have found my passion.

Man Mike, God bless your heart body and soul. You will receive great benefits from your fast. Just a reminder , remember to break your fast properly as well so you will receive the maximum benefit and possibly avert any adverse issues. Peace and Blessings.
