Aha! The full picture emerges...ha ha. Yes, trust is something that doesn't come back overnight. We have stepped on the toes of others and they retaliated. My wife used to sniff my water bottle now and then early in my recovery (my fave place for vodka!) and there are brief flashes of that mistrust that crops up now and then. But it takes time for us to rebuild that trust through not intentions, but actions. The world judges us on our actions, and it is through them that we can slowly build back what was lost.
