When you set boundaries, you show that you care about them. You try to make some kind of accountability because they see that somebody cares about them. I think it is a unique form of showing love.
Ever wondered what it's like to support someone on their recovery journey? In this episode of 'Sober & Shameless', co-hosts Taylor Klinger and Eric Andrew, alongside their guest Michelle, dive into the delicate dance of setting boundaries from the supporter's perspective. It's the second part of a two-part series that offers a fresh angle on a topic often discussed only from the addict's viewpoint. Michelle opens up about the emotional rollercoaster that comes with supporting a loved one in recovery.
She talks about the necessity of setting clear expectations and maintaining them, not just for the addict's sake but for her own mental well-being too. The conversation is raw, honest, and filled with light-hearted moments that make the heavy subject matter easier to digest. Taylor and Eric bring their usual blend of humor and candidness, making it feel like you're sitting in on a chat with friends rather than listening to a formal discussion.
They explore how boundaries can sometimes be misunderstood and the impact this misunderstanding can have on relationships. The trio also touches on the stigma surrounding addiction and how it affects both the addict and their support system. If you're navigating the tricky waters of supporting someone in recovery or just curious about the other side of the story, this episode is a must-listen. It's a heartfelt exploration of trust, communication, and resilience that will leave you with plenty to ponder.
