It is easy to trust in the good times. I know of people in early recovery from addiction, that as their out of control life begins to get better in sobriety, they often have a lot of trust in the group, another person who guides them along the early path of recovery, and even trust in a God of some sort. But then real life shows up. Why not? The newly sober person now has work, relationship with another person that had been in tatters, maybe a family. Real life has challenges. It makes demands for emotional maturity, perseverance, discipline. If the recovering person does not double down on their efforts in sobriety, trust goes out the window, and soon enough so might the person. Trust is easy when things are going your way. I have found it so.
