....Boundaries must be set for the right reasons. You need to be focused on your own well-being and mental health. Let it be very clear that setting boundaries will not cure addiction, nor will boundaries allow you to control an addict.
You need to put a lot of thought into the boundaries that you are willing to set and make it very clear to the addict why you are doing this. Explain to them you are doing this for your own good — as well as theirs – and why it is important to you.
Remember the key: once you set a boundary, you must enforce it.
