HEALTHY LIMITS:

~

Boundaries are vital to recovery. Having and setting healthy limits
is connected to all phases of recovery: growing self-esteem, dealing
with feelings, and learning to really love and value ourselves.

Boundaries emerge from deep within. They are connected to letting go
of guilt and shame, and to changing our beliefs about what we deserve.
As our thinking about this becomes clearer, so will our boundaries.

Boundaries are also connected to a Higher Timing than our own. We'll
set a limit when we're ready, and not a moment before. So will others.

There's something magical about reaching that point of becoming ready
to set a limit. We know we mean what we say; others take us seriously
too. Things change, not because we're controlling others, but because
we've changed.
