Berfunkle: A complement to communication

I have a friend who is always in and out of trouble. She was recently involved in a DUI. I spoke with her and tried drill it in her head that there are obviously other people on the roads and she could have really hurt someone. She seemed so upset and ashamed of her actions. I honestly believed she was going to straighten up. The very next chance she got she was out drinking and driving. I thought she was a decent person and I again believed that she would change. I was completely wrong.
