I know this is preaching to the Canzano Choir, so very briefly: THIS is why we are here. This is what John has created. A community. Not a clickbait “chat board.” Bravo, John. And bravo, Mike. We all are rooting for you.

I remember the weigh-ins. And how excited Mike was in his reporting and how encouraging you were. Mike, we're all still rooting for you.

John, Count me among your faithful, and tearful with this story. I read your column the moment I receive the email, and have referred 5 of my best friends. You supply so much more than the normal sports world. Thank You

John... Mike and you inspire thousands of people neither of you will ever meet. They will remember. That's the power of a good example.

Good for you, John. Good for you.

I have two sons battling alcoholism every day. Both are sober today - one for 15 years, the other celebrated his first anniversary yesterday. Who knows what tomorrow brings. Every day is a battle. But having people around you who care, encouraging you - well, there's nothing like it.

Good for you.

Wow what a story. Thanks for making my day, John. I hope he keeps focused and loses his extra weight. He can do it. I’m praying for him. And God Bless you and your family, John, for all you do.

John, how many of these incredible human stories can you find to share with us? My battle with the fifteen or twenty pound of abdominal fat makes me feel ashamed that I not only don't successfully address it, but I whine about it as well. What an inspirational person to learn about and use as a personal motivation. Just keep them coming. Thanks, Charlie

Thanks for sharing this John. It points out that seeking or accepting help of others who care is crucial in these battles with addiction of all sorts.

Hey John, thank you for the reminder story!

Keeping your weight down is a huge and constant struggle--we've all been there at some point in our lives. I'm there right now.

I hope you talk about Mike on today's show. I pray that he has a great support system of people who can keep him accountable. We're praying for you, Mike!!!
