Hi, today we're going to talk about the truth about trusting them.

When our loved ones who struggle with addiction choose to go to rehab or get help. It can bring up all sorts of feelings.

We might feel hopeful that maybe this time they will get sober for good. We might feel scared that maybe this won't work and will be a huge disappointment

We might feel resentful that they are being cared for and looked after while we are left at home

working overtime to make up for their absence.

But one of the biggest worries I hear often is concerning trust. How can we ever, ever trust them again?

Trust is a huge issue when we're in a relationship with someone struggling with

addiction. We're often lied to so much that our trust feels like it's

permanently gone.

Trust can never be restored in our relationships, at least.

That's how it feels.

But is it true?

How do we trust our partners again? Can it ever be possible? Or will we always

worry and constantly been waiting for the other's shoe to drop.

Trusting again is entirely possible under the right circumstances.

We can and we should trust the ones we are planning on spending the rest of our lives

with. If we can't trust them, we'll end up exhausted from the constant worry that they will

disappoint us again.

So how do we get to a place where we can relax in peace and finally trust the one who has heard us and

lied to us about their drinking, drug use, cheating, or pornography.

Here is the answer in one simple sentence.

Actually, it's two sentences.
