Mike says he turned back to prescription medication after he and his brother were indicted because of falsely filed income tax returns from 2010 to 2012. “From there it was just a spiral,” he said in the interview. “Your emotions are blocked. So you really ruin relationships with everyone in your life.” Mike is set to reveal more about his addiction on an upcoming series called, Marriage Boot Camp: Reality Stars Family Edition.
