Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino sat down with Lara Trump on My View this week to mark a milestone most Americans understand instinctively: ten years clean and sober. He spoke plainly about how sobriety reshaped his life and why he’s moved from living headlines to helping others find the same rescue from addiction.
What makes Sorrentino’s message real is that he isn’t just trading anecdotes—he and his wife are launching Archangel Centers to treat addiction and mental health, bringing recovery directly into communities rather than leaving it to bloated bureaucracies. That door-to-door, hands-on approach is the kind of private-sector, boots-on-the-ground solution conservatives should champion because it restores dignity and accountability without expanding government control.
His transformation is visible and visceral: a 30-pound weight loss and the return of the abs that made him a household name, a byproduct of discipline and hard work rather than a pill or fad. Sorrentino has leaned into rigorous training, strict diet, and sober routine to rebuild himself as a husband, father, and public example—proof that personal responsibility still delivers results.
Let’s be clear about the stakes he faced: at his worst, Sorrentino admits to an expensive addiction that nearly destroyed him, and he served time for past mistakes before turning his life around. That arc—from excess to accountability, from prison to purpose—should be a lesson for a culture that too often excuses failure instead of demanding repair and redemption.
Lara Trump’s platform gave him a microphone, and good—stories of recovery need mainstream amplification because they cut through the cynicism of our times. Conservatives should be proud to uplift people who rebuild their lives through faith, family, and work, and we should insist that policy reward those who take responsibility rather than enabling self-destruction.
Mike Sorrentino’s decade of sobriety is a reminder that America still produces comebacks when people choose to fight for themselves and their families. Support for private recovery initiatives, celebration of personal accountability, and refusal to normalize self-harm are conservative principles that win in communities across this country; that is the kind of leadership worth promoting.
