Whilst away this week, I had an incident that was very flattering (and very tempting) but I said no. Not because it was wrong, not because of the potential consequences, but because I knew it would complicate my life and I couldn't do it to myself.
Wow. Although I've been replaying my decision a bit, Im feeling quite empowered that I made a decision based on my values and what I needed at that time. I couldn't be talked into giving up my boundary.

Good for you! Well done in making good, solid decisions for yourself!

Crossing a boundary is dangerous. Especially from something you can't undo.
Now to keep going with all of the other boundaries...

Wobaticus,

Good for you to sticking to your boundaries. You should be proud of yourself. Take you time and keep looking for the good in people. Have a great day and keep strong.

Congratulations. Values are what we consider more important than our feelings! You just empowered yourself and in essence reversed your feelings of intolerable helplessness to specific circumstances with direct healthy behavior. When your values trump your addiction, there is no addiction. When we empower ourselves with direct healthy behaviors, to regain control of our emotions/feelings, we no longer need the displaced quick fixes or mood changers of drugs or alcohol.
