Time to be trusted again

I don’t think it’s a question of number of days or months or years. Divorcing from addiction - leaving your addiction permanently - and establishing a new relationship with recovery (healthy life, which involves daily behaviours and changed mindsets, for staying sober and changed) - all that is about changes in attitudes, and those can’t be measured in time.

You’ve had a long, long relationship with your addiction and you have prioritized it over all the other relationships in your life. Your ultimate trust has been that your addiction would always be there for you. You need to establish a healthy attitude and relationship with yourself, free of your addiction, free of those chains, before you can talk about trust in your relationships with other people.

It is possible with help and learning from other people who have walked the recovery road before you. There is a good set of resources here: Resources for our recovery
