Miracles are real, and I expect miracles today because I get to see miracles around me all the time.
Ever wondered how someone turns their darkest days into a beacon of hope for others? Meet Justin Giovinazzo, or 'Gio', a man who has transformed his life from addiction to advocacy. In this episode of Recovery Revolution Live, the hosts Brett Morris, Ashley Grimes, Jason Rudeen, Rev. LC Currie, and JR Weaver sit down with Justin to uncover his remarkable journey. With long-term sobriety under his belt, Justin wears many hats: Certified Addictions Counselor, primary therapist, Certified Interventionist, and author.
But more than his titles, it's his story that resonates deeply. Justin opens up about his early struggles with addiction and how attending 12-step fellowships like Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) and Narcotics Anonymous (NA) played a pivotal role in his recovery. He candidly shares the moment he realized he needed to surrender to his addiction and embrace honesty as a tool for progress.
Facing potential prison time, Justin's life took a drastic turn when he decided to confront his fears head-on through a drug program. This decision not only helped him overcome his addictions but also ignited a passion for helping others find their path to sobriety. Throughout the conversation, Justin emphasizes the power of having a purpose and how it can fuel one's recovery journey.
He talks about the importance of self-promotion, not for vanity, but as a means to spread his message and reach those in need. Gratitude and positivity are cornerstones of his philosophy, encapsulated in his mantra: F.E.A.R. - Face Everything And Rise. Justin's story is more than just a tale of overcoming addiction; it's a testament to the transformative power of recovery and the impact one person can have on many.
