To pay for his acting classes, Mike got a job at a local clothing store which, unbeknownst to him at the time, would change his life forever. Lady Luck was on Mike’s side when a customer at the store handed him a Green Card Lottery ticket. Mike moved to America in 1997 and immediately got some incredible breaks to start his career by appearing on a number of tv shows, but he was falling apart of the inside.
Battling cocaine and alcohol addiction for the majority of his life, Mike wasn’t in good shape. The defining moment came at the height of his career while shooting a TV show for VH1. To the outside world, Mike looked like he was living the dream but, on the inside, Mike was spiritually bankrupt and miserable. He realized that if he didn’t turn his life around, he was going to die.
April 16, 2006, was the day Mike Diamond got sober. Since then, Mike has literally helped thousands of individuals and their families whenever they need support to battle the disease of addiction. Mike is always on beck and call to all his clients and friends, helping them through navigate life’s ups and downs.
