| 0:00.8 | A boundary of self-containment is something that you need to contain or stop doing. |
| 0:07.6 | And what I've figured out over time is that there's two kinds of boundaries of self-containment. |
| 0:14.6 | Welcome to episode 396 of The Recovery Show. This episode is brought to you by Amy, Steven, Nancy, |
| 0:22.2 | Susan, Sheila, and Robin. They used the donation button on our website. Thank you, Amy, |
| 0:28.4 | Steven, Nancy, Susan, Sheila, and Robin for your generous contributions. This episode is for you. |
| 0:37.0 | We are friends and family members of Alcoholics and Attics who have found a path to serenity and |
| 0:41.5 | happiness. We who live or have lived with the seemingly hopeless problem of addiction, |

| 1:35.8 | and it's from the ACA program, which stands for Adult Children of Alcoholics and Disfunctional |
| 1:41.2 | Families, which by the way, I never knew that I qualified for until I got into the program. |
| 1:47.0 | So I go right ahead and start reading it. Please do. One thing I will say is that what we're |
| 1:51.8 | recovering from in that program is childhood trauma and so typically codependence. Sometimes it's |
| 2:00.0 | called adult child syndrome, but the solution is the name of this document and the solution is to |
| 2:06.3 | become your own loving parent. As ACA becomes a safe place for you, you will find a freedom to express |
| 2:12.9 | all the hurts and fears you have kept inside and to free yourself from the shame and blame |
