In this episode, we talk with Denge, Mary, and Michal about our standards and expectations in recovery. As we move further along in our recovery journeys, we often find that our standards change - as they should. Our self worth increases, and we realize we are no longer willing to settle for what we used to. So we ask the question, "How have your standards changed in sobriety?"

We discover several ways our expectations change:

-eating healthier, taking care of ourselves both mentally and physically

-setting, communicating, and enforcing boundaries and expectations with others

-boundaries at work, with friends, and with children and spouses

-how we value and use our time and energy

-standards in friendships

We teach others how to treat us, and now that our standards have changed, we may have to re-teach them.

Denge, Michal, and Mary are all friends we've made in the I Am Sober community. You can find out more about the I Am Sober app at iamsober.com
