Talkin' Trash • Episode 128

A lot of male pheromones on display this evening. A Kajsa-less crew pulled it together in dramatic fashion as we went over trust in addiction recovery. Trust is a fickle thing. Trust is earned and entering recovery, it can be overwhelming regaining the trust we've run thin with the ones we love. Having no expectations puts attainable trust within reach. We can't fix broken trust without putting in the time to show we're trustworthy. It is very common for people who struggle with mental health or substance use disorders to have difficulty trusting themselves and others during the recovery process. Trust goes both ways too.

This may be the result of situations in the past which involved unhealthy family systems and sexual abuse.
