No Alcohol Needed: The Podcast

E15: Setting Healthy Boundaries in Recovery


Listen Later

In this episode, we talk with Jane, Nat, and Elaine about setting boundaries in recovery. It turns out, all five us were raised without ever understand what boundaries are, so we've had to learn all about them in recovery. We talk about our successes and our failures, and share bits of wisdom learned along the way. Some of the topics we cover include:

  • Putting sobriety first by setting personal boundaries
  • People pleasing - diminishing ourselves by failing to set boundaries
  • Say "I'm sorry" with intention
  • Learning to not make others' needs and expectations more important than our own
  • Realizing that saying no doesn't make you a bad person, it just saves you from overcommittment.
  • Setting boundaries saves us from harboring resentment
  • Creating healthy boundaries about how we treat and talk to ourselves
  • How we honor and enforce our boundaries, even when it gets painful
  •  

    Boundaries teach people how to treat us.

    We may have grown up believing that boundaries are optional, but in recovery, boundaries are absolutely required.
