I used to think I could. Now I am more realistic. I will still lend neverending support, warmth, compassion, I'll be there when no one else will.... I've had a couple of close friends go through really, really bad times. One in particular told me after the fact, that my calling her several times a day to check on her and the love I showed in general, really helped her through that time. I just did because I cared.
Plus, if you ever need someone to be with you while you're out drinking shots, I'll be there. Shot for shot.
