The Unbreakable Boundaries Podcast
Setting and maintaining boundaries is the difference between allowing others to dictate your life and intentionally creating the life you truly want. I have come to understand just how critical healthy boundaries are. Boundaries are not static; they evolve, grow, and shift over time, and they require ongoing attention and reassessment. This podcast serves as a regular check-in for your own boundaries and as a source of insight, encouragement, and practical guidance to help you establish and uphold the limits you know you need in order to protect your well-being and move toward the life you envision for yourself.

#43 Training for the Obstacle Course of Addiction
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
When it comes being a family member with a loved one in addiction/substance abuse issues, we have to come at it like we are training for a obstacle course where we don't exactly know what the obstacle course is going to look like, so we need to be prepared for anything. How do we do that? One, we don't do it alone. If I had to actually train for a marathon or obstacle course, I'd have to find people to help me. This is important for self care, so when the event happens that we don't know about yet, we are going to be prepared for whatever situation it is. We may stumble still, but we will be more prepared to handle the situation.
