How can families begin rebuilding trust after addiction?

Recovery does not instantly repair everything that happened during active addiction. The person in recovery may feel they are changing while loved ones remain guarded, hurt, or afraid. For those who have been through it, what helped rebuild trust? Was it time, consistency, boundaries, counseling, honest communication, or something else? Perspectives from both people in recovery and their loved ones are welcome.
