HOW TO REBUILD TRUST IN ADDICTION RECOVERY
Addiction causes turbulence in the Family. A
study proves that a couple dealing with addiction
have four times the risk of divorce than those
who dont. The damage that people cause due to
addiction is major and beyond repair. No matter
how hard you try, your partner wants to call it
quits because for them it might be impossible to
forgive or trust you again. Its important to
realize that you cant expect to get back the
same relationship you had prior to your
addiction after all, theres no changing whats
happened or forgetting the hurt and anger. You
can create a new marriage, however, thats based
on mutual support and respect, solid
communication and trust but doing so will take
time and effort on both your parts. Similarly,
chances are good that youll need to work on any
unresolved issues and problems your relationship
had prior to your addiction. Each day of recover
is one more brick in the foundation of a new
reliability that the family will come to trust
and believe in. Each day sober speaks louder than
a thousand promises. Lara Okoloko Steps to
regain trust. 1. Make up for the damage created
Its hard to admit when youve said or done
something wrong or hurtful. But acknowledging the
truth of what you said or did shows that you are
growing as a person. Your loved one sees that you
are taking the steps to becoming a better version
on you and helps restore their trust. 2. Honesty
is the best policy. When in addiction, there
would have been no lie that you would not have
said to get what you wanted. Even as youre
dealing with trying to trust yourself, your
partner is working on trusting you again, too.
Initially, it may seem difficult, if not
impossible, for trust, respect and love to be
re-established. It might help to create a system
that works for both of you and agree to honor it.
3. Self Forgiveness As you work towards
reconciling with your spouse and creating a new,
happier and healthier marriage or relationship,
dont forget yourself. Make sure you each take
the time to indulge your own interests and take
time alone to do what makes you happiest. If
either partner wants to participate in individual
counseling, the other should support that
decision. Some people in your life may find
theyre not able to let past transgressions go,
and thats something you cannot change. But you
can work on unburdening yourself of the guilt,
shame and regret over your past deeds. 4.Take
accountability for your actions Its hard to
admit when youve said or done something wrong or
hurtful. But acknowledging the truth of what you
said or did shows that you are growing as a
person. Your loved one sees that you are taking
the steps to becoming a better version on you and
helps restore their trust. You can also use
writing as a way to communicate with your spouse.
If youre finding it tough to talk through what
you want to say, youre definitely not alone.
After months or even years of emotional pain,
frustration and rage, as well as lying and
hiding, it can be very difficult to switch gears
and become open and communicative almost
overnight. If talking about tough issues is too
hard at first, write it down in a letter. Once
the two of you have begun communicating through
letters for a while, it should become easier to
have face-to-face discussions. 5. Patience is the
key You know youre changing, but they might be
cautious. Understand that your loved one has gone
through a lot for a long time. He or she needs
time to build trust. Showing empathy (putting
yourself in their shoes) and patience goes a long
way and helps you as well. Involving your spouse
in the process to some extent can also be helpful
for your marriage. As mentioned above, consider
including some couples therapy sessions so you
can start rebuilding your relationship as you
learn to live sober. Contact us for guidance in
recovery. Your privacy is our priority. Join
