Boundaries. I’ve had to learn the hard way. Always remember we have a choice. Having no boundaries and then getting resentful at others for stepping all over us…that will only lead to needing to escape thru our addictions. It’s our responsibility to set boundaries that we are comfortable with. This is life or death

As we go through this journey, we realize things. This hit me as well because I have come to that realization that I used to pay people in one form or another to be my friends. Whether it be supplying smoke or drinks or even lending money. They only stuck around until the resource was dried up. When I got sober, the first month was dark until I found out who really cared, and I am forever grateful for the peaceful growth I have endured.

It’s a struggle, for sure. I’m still learning. It’s hardest when you love a person, and want so badly to help them. But it isn’t something we can do. That’s where the problem lies.

I'll say it. You actually make the world a worse place helpin' some folks. 
I dig this. After getting sober I learned that I was codependent. I needed to take care of someone, no matter how little they appreciated me. Like another addiction.

Yes. It’s so hard to set those boundaries. But we have to. To save ourselves.
