In 2006, Mike Diamond was riding high—appearing on hit shows like Miami Ink and Sex & the City and performing stand-up in New York City’s vibrant comedy scene. But while his star was rising, Mike was secretly battling a powerful addiction that had taken hold early in his life and was threatening to destroy everything he had built.

On this episode of Addiction Talk, Mike opens up about his journey—from the pain of childhood trauma to the heights of international fame, and the hard-fought path to recovery that helped him find true purpose. Now 19 years sober and a renowned interventionist on A&E’s Intervention, Mike is dedicated to helping others escape the darkness he once lived in. His story is honest, powerful, and a testament to the fact that it’s never too late to transform your life.
