My former roommate, we were very close and you know we're both addicts, both alcoholics, and I had relapsed actually when I first moved into the apartment with them...you have to set boundaries for me, for yourself, and I'm proud of you for doing that, because I know it's not easy, but we, at The End Of The Day, you know, we all, we care about people very much, and but in something like this you have to look out for yourself politely, you know, generously, you know, just still treat people with the respect.
Imagine trying to navigate sobriety while still surrounded by the chaos that contributed to your addiction. In this episode of '12oz of Sobriety', hosts Pat, Robbie, and Carson dive into the concept of 'cleaning house'—not just physically, but emotionally and socially too. They explore how removing toxic relationships, rearranging your living space, and setting firm boundaries can create a healthier environment for recovery.
Pat opens up about his own experiences, like the time he wasn't invited to social events due to his drinking habits. He shares how reorganizing his home helped him steer clear of triggers. Robbie chimes in with the importance of setting boundaries, even with close friends and roommates, to prioritize his sobriety. Carson rounds out the discussion by emphasizing self-care and the need to step out of comfort zones for personal growth.
The trio also highlights the crucial role of mental health and having a solid support system. One memorable moment comes when Pat reflects on setting boundaries with a former roommate who was also struggling with addiction: 'You have to set boundaries for me, for yourself, and I'm proud of you for doing that, because I know it's not easy'.
This episode offers a treasure trove of practical advice and heartfelt stories for anyone in the early stages of sobriety or looking to make positive life changes. Whether you're dealing with toxic relationships or just need a fresh start, Pat, Robbie, and Carson provide the guidance and encouragement you need to succeed.
