Continuous Miracle WGLM 106.3FM episode 122

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of the Discover Montcalm Podcast! In Episode 122, we dive into the journey of recovery and hope with Mike White, the voice behind the new program Continuous Miracle, airing Sunday mornings from 11 AM to noon on WGLM 106.3FM.

What is Continuous Miracle?
Continuous Miracle WGLM 106.3FM is more than just a radio show—it’s a conversation about sobriety, personal transformation, and the journey toward recovery. Hosted by Mike White, a longtime Greenville resident who has been in recovery for nearly nine years, this program offers real stories of people overcoming addiction, featuring a wide range of perspectives, including doctors, therapists, community members, and those in recovery themselves.

The Heart of the Show
Mike’s personal experience and involvement with the Montcalm Alano Club (MAC) in Greenville give him unique insight into the struggles and triumphs of people in recovery. Through this show, he and his co-host, Scott, aim to: ✅ Educate the public about addiction and recovery. ✅ Reduce the stigma surrounding addiction. ✅ Offer hope to those battling substance use disorders.

One of the key messages of Continuous Miracle is that recovery takes a community. The show highlights not only medical professionals but also counselors, AA sponsors, and even individuals who never thought they had an issue—until one moment changed everything.

Check them out at https://montcalmalanoclub.com/ 

A Personal Journey
Mike’s path to recovery was not linear. After losing his life partner, he found himself at a crossroads. With the encouragement (or as he says, being “voluntold”) by his AA sponsor, he became more involved with local recovery efforts. His work with MAC and Ferris State University led him to discover the vast resources available in the Montcalm area and beyond.

“You either get here through the liver, the law, or love,” Mike shares—a saying in AA that captures the various ways people find their way to recovery. Whether it’s health issues, legal troubles, or loved ones reaching their breaking point, the road to sobriety is deeply personal and different for everyone.

Addiction is More Than a Habit
During the episode, Mike and Kara discuss the complexities of addiction. From alcohol to gambling, food, or other substances, addiction is often misunderstood.

“It’s not just about willpower,” Mike explains. “It’s about rewiring habits, learning new coping mechanisms, and finding a community that supports healing.”

Through Continuous Miracle, listeners will hear about: 🔹 The science behind addiction and recovery. 🔹 Real-life stories of people who turned their lives around. 🔹 Resources available in Montcalm County and beyond. 🔹 The role of therapy, 12-step programs, and faith in recovery.

Why This Show Matters
There are many misconceptions about addiction, and stigma often prevents people from seeking help. By bringing in voices from different backgrounds—medical, legal, spiritual, and personal—Continuous Miracle aims to break down barriers and encourage open discussions.

As Mike emphasizes, “Addiction is a disease, not a moral failing. And like any disease, there’s a treatment.” Recovery is a continuous process, and with the right support system, anyone can reclaim their life.

Tune In & Get Involved
📅 When: Sundays, 11 AM - 12 PM 📻 Where: WGLM 106.3FM 🎙 Host: Mike White

If you or someone you know is struggling with addiction, Continuous Miracle is here to help. You are not alone—there are resources, support groups, and compassionate people ready to walk this journey with you.
