“I sometimes like think about it, and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, like, I can’t believe I’ve come so far.’ And then I look in the mirror, and I’m like, ‘Wow, I’m just a tough son of a bitch,’” Mike said with a laugh while chatting with Entertainment Tonight.
“I mean there are always temptations, but when you have the secret sauce, when you have the blueprint of what’s working, you never fall away from that, you know?” Mike continued. “You stick to what’s working, and what’s working for me is God and family.”
Mike, who has been sober for almost eight years, said that he was “saved” by his “beautiful wife.” He and Lauren have been married since 2018 and share two kids – son Romeo, 2, and daughter Bella, 18 months.
“I’m a dad first, I’m a husband first, my sobriety [comes] first. And sometimes, when I’m dealing with the cast and those type of those situations, it’s not easy,” Mike explained. “I’m also trying to entertain millions, so it’s a very fine line I have to walk sometimes. [But] I’m a champion of addiction today. And I wear that on my sleeve.”
He continued, “I’m eight years clean and sober in December, a dad of two adorable babies and married five years and in a happy, healthy marriage. I’m living my best life and teaching others to do the same.”
