In this deeply personal and inspiring episode, Jason sits down with Mike Cunningham, a key leader at AZ Hope and Healing Addiction Treatment Centers — an addiction treatment center with locations across Mesa, Phoenix, Scottsdale, and Surprise. Offering services like Residential Treatment, PHP, IOP, Sober Living, and a dedicated Veterans Program, AZ Hope and Healing creates space for healing through both clinical and spiritual transformation.

Mike shares his powerful journey from addiction to recovery, diving into how his early feelings of discomfort, disconnection, and overthinking led him to experiment with substances as young as third grade. From inhaling rubber cement to drinking and engaging in risky behaviors by middle school, Mike's story uncovers the painful truth of using substances to escape emotional turmoil.

Through faith, surrender, and community, Mike found his way to recovery—and even had the humbling experience of helping his own father begin his sobriety journey. This episode is a vulnerable, honest look at the way addiction affects generations, and how hope, healing, and belief in something greater can break the cycle.
