Long-Term Trust Maintenance
Sustaining the Trust You Fought For
A gentle five-lesson mini-course for families in long-term recovery — with a companion workbook to write in.
Before you decide, listen to the short introduction. It’s free, there’s no sign-up, and it’s the gentlest way to feel whether this is for you.
Note from Recovery Mum Faye: Due to a stroke 8 years ago, I use a carefully trained AI voice clone to read these lessons. It allows me to sit at the kitchen table with you and share my hard-won wisdom clearly, without physical limitations getting in the way.”
Things are good. Really good, maybe. Your loved one has held their recovery for two years, three, five — and one day you notice you’ve stopped checking. Then a strange thing happens: that very realisation frightens you. Have I gone soft? Should I still be watching? Long-Term Trust Maintenance is for exactly that in-between place — helping you trust deeply without taking tomorrow for granted.
Stop asking “Have I gone soft if I’ve stopped checking?”
Start asking “Can I trust deeply and stay gently aware?”

Who it's for
This is for you if –
- Your loved one is two, three, five years into recovery
- You've noticed you've stopped checking — and it unsettles you
- You want to trust deeply without taking tomorrow for granted
- Written especially for mums and family members supporting a loved one through long-term recovery.
You don’t have to have it all worked out — when to relax, when to stay watchful. You only have to keep steadying yourself, because years in, through all of this, you are still the foundation. Not because it’s fair that it falls to you; it isn’t. But because your steadiness is the very thing that lets you tell a real concern from an ordinary hard week.
A note from me: I made this from my own years of living it — not from a manual, just what steadied me once the crisis was long behind us: mature trust that holds two truths at once, the small rhythms that keep it strong, and the courage to celebrate out loud instead of holding my breath. One day at a time became years at a time. Shared honestly, from one family to another.
