I found that once I started setting boundaries, I realized that I had control over my life and over my surroundings and the behavior I would accept both for myself and other people.
Ever feel like you're constantly tiptoeing around others, afraid to set boundaries for fear of backlash? Spencer, Kelli, and Swetha know that feeling all too well. In this episode of 'The Recovery Show', they open up about their initial struggles with setting boundaries and how the Al-Anon program helped them turn things around. Before joining Al-Anon, they didn't set clear boundaries, leading to anger and resentment when their unstated limits were crossed.
Swetha admits, 'I thought they were something that other people could do, but not me'. But through the program, they learned that boundaries aren't about controlling others; they're about taking control of your own life. The hosts share their personal journeys of establishing healthy boundaries, both with themselves and others. They highlight the difference between boundaries and ultimatums, focusing on what behavior they won't accept rather than dictating others' actions.
This shift in perspective helped them avoid conflicts and maintain healthier relationships. They also stress the importance of being realistic about others' behavior, setting boundaries ahead of time to prevent future issues. By focusing on what they can control, they found a sense of peace and happiness that once seemed out of reach. If you're tired of feeling like a doormat and want to reclaim your serenity, this episode is a must-listen.
Spencer, Kelli, and Swetha's experiences offer practical advice and hope for anyone struggling with boundary-setting in the face of addiction.
