Navigating Respect and Boundaries: A Journey in Sobriety with A Sober Girl

For me, because of the pandemic and because of social media, I had kind of forgotten about my physical boundaries and thought- since you know I was behind a keyboard- that everything was safe. I am not comfortable being alone with males. Setting those boundaries with my friends allows me to feel respected and give respect, and those are some of the strongest relationships that I have, because there is this not a demand but an expectation of respect.
Setting boundaries can feel like walking a tightrope, especially when you're on the path to sobriety. In this episode of 'A Sober Girl's Podcast', Sheri dives deep into the often challenging but essential practice of establishing respect and boundaries. She kicks things off by sharing her own journey, revealing how her life has transformed since she began prioritizing self-respect and setting clear limits. Gone are the days of people-pleasing and co-dependency; instead, Sheri now enjoys healthier, more respectful relationships.
Joining her in this candid conversation are Alex and Brittany Jade, who also open up about their personal struggles and victories in maintaining boundaries. Their stories paint a vivid picture of the emotional ups and downs that come with sobriety, especially during the pandemic when physical boundaries became blurred by social media. One memorable moment is when Sheri reflects, 'Setting those boundaries with my friends allows me to feel respected and give respect', highlighting the mutual benefits of clear boundaries.
This episode isn't just about abstaining from alcohol; it's about thriving emotionally and building stronger, more respectful connections. Perfect for anyone navigating sobriety or supporting someone who is, this episode offers heartfelt advice and relatable stories that inspire and uplift.
