Summary
As a codependent, setting (and sticking to) boundaries can sometimes be challenging. And look, no judgment at all. Boundaries are tricky and take lots of practice.
But they're also so important to have when you love someone suffering from addiction. Because here's the thing: without boundaries, the morals and values you entered the relationship with become compromised over time.
Tune in to this week's episode, where I discuss a favorite book of mine (along with some helpful stories) about setting and sticking to boundaries. And even if you're not codependent, this will still be super helpful.

| 0:00.0 | You're listening to the Love Over Addiction Podcast. Hey, okay. Okay, full disclaimer up front. |
| 0:23.4 | I have been noticing that since I got a new iPhone, |
| 0:26.9 | the iPhone 11, the recordings that I'm using |
| 0:31.8 | my phone, like these podcasts podcasts since the coronavirus have been just using my phone and voice memo app |
| 0:38.0 | They've they're annoying me and I'm so sorry I feel like I owe you all an apology I've just been listening to them and |
| 0:45.4 | my they're just my voice is just like the peas are over pronounced and I just feel like the quality is too good if that makes any sense and so I've been researching |
| 1:00.6 | how to my team and I have been like sending examples back and forth on ways we can help kind of soften the tone. |
| 1:10.0 | I don't record these podcasts in a studio. I record them at home and I had sort of like this |
| 1:18.0 | extensive setup where I had a mic and I had a buffer and I used this sophisticated, you know, recording stuff. |
| 1:26.8 | But since coronavirus, I have kids homeschooling right now and I just grab my phone and |
| 1:32.1 | I spitball in my backyard. |
| 1:34.8 | You can hear the birds, it sounds like a salarium, |

| 1:47.9 | So I am so sorry and I am trying to work on it and one of the solutions that we came up with is you're supposed to put a |
| 1:56.0 | sock over the phone, over the speaker of the phone. So we were trying to do this this morning. |
| 2:05.6 | I have my son's clean sock, which is ridiculous. |
| 2:11.4 | But it sounded just as good even or slash bad even with the sock over the phone and it turns out the iPhone 11 has three different locations for the mic. |
| 2:25.0 | So if I put a sock over the phone, I can't press record at the same time |
| 2:32.0 | because I don't have access to this touch screen. |
| 2:34.6 | Whatever. My point is this guys. I'm working on it. I promise you that I am |
