Today has definitely been a tough day and it reminded me of the importance of taking a step back to have time to myself and to focus on my own recovery. Being engulfed in what others have going on is such a big trigger for me. To serve is a beautiful thing but you also have to know when to set limits for your own wellbeing. I cant do anything for anyone else if im not okay. Today im grateful for the ability to set those boundaries instead of being overwhelmed and drinking just to get through.

I relate to this totally, many of my loved one use at least 1 thing as I'm around them I realize some are going nowhere and I don't want to go anymore. Today I focus on all I could accomplish for me it was growth. I love my crew except this week I pulled back work , doctor, laundry it feels good.bless you wish you well

Huge reminder that boundaries aren’t selfish esp. in recovery. Glad you shared this, we don’t talk about the drain of always showing up for others enough.
