When we decide to live in a way that is<br>healthy and morally correct, such as in recovery<br>from addiction, our boundaries show us what is<br>acceptable. It might be hard to work the Twelve<br>Steps thoroughly for example, without proper<br>boundaries, because they demand rigorous honesty<br>and a willingness to grow along spiritual lines.

In<br>Step Three, when we turn our will and our lives over<br>to the care of God as we understand him, we are also<br>saying that from now on we intend to establish firm<br>boundaries. In the past, when we had poor<br>boundaries, we were in effect allowing others to<br>dictate our life. No more. God will help us. He does<br>not promise an easy ride, but simply the inner<br>contentment that comes from doing the right thing.<br>Today I pray for God\u2019s help in establishing firm and<br>appropriate boundaries as markers by which I will<br>live my life along principles that match my<br>conscience.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>View VIDEO on FView VIDEO on Facebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Follow on TikTok Videos at&nbsp;Tiktok.com\/@recoverydaysacebook&nbsp;&nbsp;https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/profile.php?id=A100094027278120 Remember Mindfulness \u2013 relax your body Boundaries Our personal boundaries define us by protecting ourbasic identity \u2013 our principles, standards, andbeliefs.
