Episode 20: Boundaries and the Role They Play in Sobriety

Alternatives to AA

One of the most important pieces to sobriety is understanding what leads you to drinking, or using in general. Establishing boundaries around these triggers, whether they be habits or actual people, is crucial to your success.

In this week’s episode, Josh and Monique talk about boundaries - not only setting them personally for yourself - but also setting them around other people.

They’ll discuss where boundaries need to be created as well as how to do so properly. You’ll even get to hear about a recent experience Josh has had in his own life with setting boundaries.
