John Rizzi's Journey: Trust, Faith, and Healing in Recovery
“This whole trusting God thing I remember when I first started recovery, these guys would share how they would surrender and then they take things back and then they would surrender and take things back. I'm even telling him that I trust him, but then my actions don't really equate to that. And this this has caused me to physically slow down. So I need to now mentally slow down a bit too.”

John shares, 'This whole trusting God thing I remember when I first started recovery, these guys would share how they would surrender and then they take things back and then they would surrender and take things back.
