Rebuilding Trust: A Journey Through Recovery and Relationships
So when you go into recovery, it's one of the greatest challenges, really. A lot of people find it difficult to feel safe with themselves. It's about starting to rebuild your self-esteem and the trust in yourself that you can trust yourself to do things properly rather than in the past, where you had no trust at all in yourself.
