Recovery is more than not using, it's learning How. How to have healthy relationships. How to let go of unhealthy ones, even though you still love. In my experience learning how to set and enforce boundaries has been really, really hard. It feels so cold and selfish at times, yet rewarding to say that my wants and needs matter. I am more than my past mistakes, I own them, but they no longer define me. I don't need to live there anymore. I'm starting to see myself as my higher power does. For all things I can be thankful today. Sober 435 days.

Boundaries are so important while in recovery. One of the hardest things we could do but like you said so rewarding at the same time. Congratulations on your 435 days!
