I had a friend on the Family and Friends side of the board who used to say 'you [the alcoholic] don't get to set the timetable for my forgiveness.'

I think the same applies for trust.

As hard as it is for us sometimes, it takes as long as it takes.

I drank for 20 years - any time shorter than that really is a good deal. I really doubt it will take you anywhere near 20 years

The one thing we can control tho is our behaviour - if we want to be trusted again? be trustworthy...always
