"The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising after you fall." How many fathers have fallen but yet have remained heros in the eyes of their children, especially if they've overcome whatever it was that caused them to fall? Would you abandon a friend if he had had the same problem as, say, a Brett Favre? Or would you cut your friendship loose and say, "sorry pal, but you don't measure up to my standards"? And if I know my fellow Packer fans, we'll get over what happened tonight. It'll be disappointing for awhile but what's done is done. So be it.

That's quite a swing, from hero status to cutting someone loose as a friend. No, I wouldn't cut anyone loose as a friend for overcoming their addictions. As I said, I admire what Brett Favre has done to overcome his problems just as I have admiration for friends and relatives for doing the same but does that make one a hero? Sorry, I'll admit that my bar for heroism is alot higher than that.
