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.
Picture this: you're on a bike ride, feeling the wind in your hair, when suddenly, disaster strikes. This is what happened to John Rizzi, co-host of 'The Recovery Lifestyle'. In this episode, John opens up about his severe bike crash that left him with multiple injuries. But instead of letting this setback derail his recovery, he leaned into his faith even more.
John believes that this accident was a way of teaching him to slow down and trust in God's healing power. 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. I'm even telling him that I trust him, but then my actions don't really equate to that.
And this has caused me to physically slow down. So I need to now mentally slow down a bit too.' His story is a testament to the idea that trust isn't just about words—it's about actions. Throughout the episode, John emphasizes the importance of community support in the recovery journey. He expresses deep gratitude for his recovery family, who stood by him during his challenging times.
This episode is not just about overcoming physical injuries; it's about the spiritual and emotional healing that comes from trusting in a higher power. If you're navigating your own path to sobriety or supporting someone who is, John's story offers valuable insights into the role of faith and trust in recovery. It's a heartfelt discussion that reminds us all of the power of surrender and the strength we can find in community.
