The announcement was made through a joint post where Mike and Lauren Sorrentino shared their close involvement in the subject. ‘We’ve been there,’ Mike commented. ‘The fear, the shame, the sleepless nights wondering if things would ever change.’ He depicted recovery as a sign that it’s never too late for a new beginning which made them want to create a place where people feel ‘safe, understood, and supported.’ The name for the centers came from the Archangel St. Michael, whom Mike acknowledged as a supporter in the battle against ‘the devil and the demons’ of addiction.
In the video, Mike offered a deeper insight into his future. ‘I felt like I found my calling and my purpose in life,’ he remarked. Lauren noted that establishing treatment centers has always been part of their ‘life list’ to return the strength and courage Mike found in his sobriety. The couple emphasized their desire to establish a loving community for those whom they called being on an ‘arduous journey.’
The digital community’s response was not only positive but also very personal. Many commenters shared their own recovery milestones, thus creating a thread of solidarity. One commenter expressed, ‘3years clean and sober this past October! You guys are doing the lord’s work!’ Another shared, ‘Been 4 years my birthday Oct without alcohol,’ highlighting the constructive influence such support and advocacy have.
Many comments were focused on the transformation of the couple. One viewer wrote, ‘I’m so proud of Mike and his strength to go through his struggle and reach this point. Amazing!’ Another ojserved, ‘What a purposeful life you’re living these days… So great to see it!!’ This sentiment illustrates the transition of Mike Sorrentino’s public persona from reality TV fame through legal battles and rehab to now advocating for others to ensure that he has become a voice of support.
A few comments softened the serious subject with wit and humanity. One person joked, ‘I was waiting for her to say “and I’m Lauren the Situation Sorrentino” 😂.’ Others were more concerned with getting information practically, one asking, ‘How does one go about getting information about your Center?’ The centers’ official account was quick to respond, telling them to send a message.
The spiritual dimension of the centers’ name was also appreciated. ‘As a Catholic. Yes. Thank you St Michael!!!!’ a person commented. Another was blessing: ‘May God always walk ahead of your path.’
