I wonder if anyone on the planet believes in second chances?

A few million recovered alcoholics and addicts do, because they had one and made good on it.

It can happen. And does happen, every day.

I hope Woods and others like him hang around people that are 'winners' - who have made good and/or can encourage him to stay on the right path.

Being around bashers and naysayers would make taking the right road all that much harder.
