‘Boundaries’ is a loaded term. We like to talk about 1. Coming from a place of love first (for ourselves and others), 2. Finding the edges where we get pushed beyond our limits based (self not other focused), 3. Setting those limits, communicating them positively, and creating contingencies for how to react.
⠀⠀
It’s not rocket science, but a little self analysis and prior planning puts us in the best position to thrive.

I’ve experienced this. Years of worry, and waiting for the other shoe to drop. Then one year in recovery. And the chronic stress of it all just dropped away. I couldn’t believe it. Sometimes it would flare up, overextended in a moment, a trigger. But I’m general...it got better, easily, as things got better.
⠀⠀
Which they do.
⠀⠀
Remembering the impermanence of things is vital

New blog post! I haven’t posted for a while. I am talking about what I think “self care” looks like. And my personal opinion on how to come to that healing we are trying to find. “I think that my definition of self care would be to not find happiness, but to know that happiness is just one emotion and it is okay to be uncomfortable. And finding joy in the uncomfortable because it is unavoidable. And slow down. Do not run faster than you have strength.” Link in bio. .

Loving someone through addiction, we play roles we may not be used to. ⠀⠀
Perhaps learning for the first time our motherly instincts or feeling like a coach or therapist. ⠀⠀
In some cases we’re trying to hard to hold it all together for our loved one, we become too perfect and they feel stuck in the role of the failure.
⠀⠀
Though showing them that life can be joyful and healthy, happy and fun can in itself be helpful. Showing up as too perfect can be dissuading. We are human too
⠀⠀
We also break down, need support and self care and make mistakes too. Know what I mean?

Hurt people hurt people. But HEALED people heal people.
⠀⠀
Our experiences to unconditionally love someone through the chaos of addiction make us prime candidates for healing ourselves and others. Never forget how much pain it took to be this gentle
