In this episode of "Rock Bottoms Up," I share my personal journey of recovery and the struggle of learning to set boundaries. For so long, I avoided causing problems and prioritized others' feelings, often doing things I wasn't comfortable with. But through my recovery from addiction, I've discovered the importance of trusting and loving myself. I’ve realized that I'm not responsible for how others feel, and while it might seem selfish, my sobriety and well-being are my top priorities. Join me as I talk about the challenges and rewards of setting boundaries, and how this journey has been crucial in rebuilding my life and repairing relationships with the people I love most.
