'Jersey Shore's' Mike 'The Situation' Sorrentino Comes Clean About Drug Use After 'DWTS'

Former Jersey Shore star, Mike" 'The Situation" Sorrentino is coming clean about his addiction to prescription drugs. Surprisingly, his wild partying on the set of the JS isn't the blame for his addiction. Sorrentino says his drug use was the result of an injury he received during his brief stent on Dancing with the Stars.

The former reality star recently opened up to the Associated Press about his efforts to overcome his demons.

Sorrentino told the AP that his drug use stemmed from a neck injury he received during his time on Dancing with the Stars back in 2010.

He recalled how he felt when he ran out if the prescription medication he had been abusing:

"All I had to do was get dressed for a family function and I couldn't do that. The shirt was laid out, the belt, the pants, everything. The shower was on. I couldn't even get out of bed" Adding: "If I can't do that how am I going to continue?"

Since then Mike has worked hard to change his " Situation". He checked himself into rehab back in 2012.

After rehab Sorrentino returned for one final season of the Jersey Shore. Surrounded by a sea of temptation Mike, very proudly remained in control:

"A little part of me was like, 'How am I gonna get through this?' but if you watched I didn't have one drink."

Sorrentino now serves as a paid spokesman for Reckitt Benckiser Pharmaceutical. The company that makes medications to treat drug dependence.
