  We consider almost sure convergence of the SDE $dX_t=\alpha_t d t + \beta_t d
W_t$ under the existence of a $C^2$-Lyapunov function $F:\mathbb R^d \to
\mathbb R$. More explicitly, we show that on the event that the process stays
local we have almost sure convergence in the Lyapunov function $(F(X_t))$ as
well as $\nabla F(X_t)\to 0$, if $|\beta_t|=\mathcal O( t^{-\beta})$ for a
$\beta>1/2$. If, additionally, one assumes that $F$ is a Lojasiewicz function,
we get almost sure convergence of the process itself, given that
$|\beta_t|=\mathcal O(t^{-\beta})$ for a $\beta>1$. The assumptions are shown
to be optimal in the sense that there is a divergent counterexample where
$|\beta_t|$ is of order $t^{-1}$.
