Setting boundaries was hard during our active addiction.  We prioritized the drinking above all else.  There were no boundaries during a drinking session because there was no way to predict where it would go.  Our priorities were all out of wack.

After getting sober, it's important to work on setting the right boundaries.  That comes with knowing the right priorities and working on the personal defects that caused us to drink in the first place.

Steve and I talk about some of the obstacles:

• People Pleasing
• Priorities
• Focusing on all the things we want to do, not the things we have to do

This is a long term development for Steve and I.  We don't have all the answers and if you struggle with setting boundaries, we hope this is helpful in your journey.
