Boundaries: it's hard to know if anything is as important in our early sobriety. We're faced with some rather large pills to swallow in those beginning stages. "All you have to do is change everything." But why are boundaries so important? And is it something that we'll always have to do?
In this week's episode Willy and Cameron are inspired to talk about boundaries. After we sober up, we can still go to the bar, right? We just won't drink! It's been said that you can only hang around a barbershop so long before you end up getting a haircut. Without boundaries, we're likely to revert back to that negative behavior.
Just ask John. John's warstory provided this week's topic and once you hear it, it will be easy to see why. After struggling time and time again to get sober, he was finally able to put away the vices until his lack of boundaries had him caught up in the insanity all over again. Listen to his hardcore, action packed story now!
