In a recent interview, the author admitted filming Jersey Shore: Family Vacation while his costars are throwing back drinks can be difficult, but he now has the tools to stay in the right headspace.
"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 b----,'" he quipped to Entertainment Tonight.
Mike and Lauren Sorrentino share three kids.
"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?" he explained of being around alcohol. "You stick to what's working, and what's working for me is God and family."
"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 continued. "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."
The MTV star discussed his addiction in his book.
Mike and Lauren welcomed their third child, daughter Luna Lucia, in March, and they're also parents to daughter Mia Bella, 2.
When the college sweethearts were asked about the idea of having a fourth child, Mike admitted, "I don't know. I'll be honest with you, I'd be excited for maybe one more possibly. I'm one of four, she's one of four."
Added Lauren, "Listen, I had three back to back, so [I need] a little bit of a break, but I'm not closing the door. But a little bit of a break for now."
