548: Boundaries Don't Work – Yes, They Do… If You Do This


Listen Later

Do you have a family member/loved one srtuggling with addiction? https://www.realrecoverytalk.com/frc

In this episode, Ben and I are talking about something that came up during our Family Reconnect call that really stuck with us… setting boundaries for yourself. A lot of times, families are focused on setting rules for the addict — but we don't stop to ask: What about me? What am I doing to protect my own peace and sanity?

Here's what we cover: Why boundaries only work when you stick to them What it really means to "love someone from afar" Why helping too much might be hurting How addiction affects the entire family, especially siblings And why failing at boundaries in the past might actually help you get it right now If you're tired of the chaos and feel like you're doing all the work while they keep getting high — this one's for you.
