F. SET BENEFICIAL BOUNDARIES . . . WITH THE ONE ADDICTED Boundaries are barriers that protect from external harm and guard against internal harm. Those involved with someone struggling with a chemical dependency need to learn how to set appropriate limits on what they do for their loved one. These boundaries will help prevent you from taking on excessive responsibilities that belong to your loved one. Boundaries serve to keep the addict's problem from becoming your problem.
THE DON'TS OF DIALOGUE (See Handout)- Give up all expectations of the addict. Psalms 62:5
- Learn to detach from the addict's problem, and take control of your life. Psalms 25:15
- Shift your focus from the addict's behavior to your responses. Lamentations 3:40
- Learn all you can about drug abuse. Proverbs 16:16
- Stop acts that are enabling (making excuses, protecting). Psalms 50:21
- Let the addict know the effects of the addiction on you and on others. Ephesians 4:25
- Pray for and expect God to bring consequences into the addict's life. Proverbs 5:21-23
