Everyone talks about how hard it is to set boundaries with other people. But here’s what no one tells you: The hardest boundary you’ll ever set isn’t with them. It’s with yourself. After my rock bottom moment, I didn’t quit drinking immediately. For nearly two years, I kept breaking my own boundaries because I hadn’t truly set them with myself first. Every time peer pressure or situational pressure came, I’d cave easily because the boundary wasn’t really mine - it was just something I was trying to do. But when I finally made the internal decision during 75 Hard, everything changed. ‘I can’t drink’ became ‘I don’t drink.’ The boundary moved from external rule to internal identity. Here’s the truth: You can’t hold a boundary with others that you haven’t first established within yourself.
