My name is Colleen DeMuro and I just listened to the podcast with Mike G. I’ve known Mike most of my life and he’s always held a special place in my heart. I can’t thank you enough for establishing such a strong connection with him. If you can please forward him a message for me, I’d really appreciate it. I just want to let him know that I’m so proud of him. Not just for the sobriety, but for the strength it takes from within. I know hands down that him speaking on his experiences was not an easy thing but he did it. I’m beaming for him. Thank you again.
