Today, I can say no with love instead of hostility, so it doesn't put an end to my relationships, and that, to me, is also something that's really important about boundaries.
Ever found yourself struggling to set boundaries with a loved one battling addiction? You're not alone. In this episode of The Recovery Show, Spencer and fellow Al-Anon members open up about the crucial role boundaries play in their recovery journeys. Drawing insights from Chapter 11 of 'How Al-Anon Works', they explore the delicate balance between detachment and love, and how personal boundaries can be a game-changer for maintaining serenity.

If setting boundaries feels like an uphill battle, this episode offers a blend of practical advice and heartfelt stories to guide you towards a more balanced, serene life.
