In this Q&A, hosts Tara and Justin provide some final commentary on the subject of setting boundaries and bottom lines in the recovery process. They emphasize how boundaries and bottom lines can effectively help break the cycle of addiction and suggest that the creation of these action plans should take place during moments of relative peace prior to the triggering event or emotion. They also consider the benefit of having a sponsor to use as a sounding board and accountability partner when establishing boundaries and bottom lines. They end with encouragement to those struggling to implement boundaries, assuring that persistence and time will slowly rewire the addicted brain and strengthen a person's ability to follow through and experience the healing fruits of this vital recovery practice.
