It is rumoured that Mike slipped up a bit and had some cocktails recently.

Despite speculation, the star claims that he is committed to his sobriety.

"Ever since I've been out, I'm not gonna lie... it's not easy," Mike told MTV News.

"But at the same time, where I'm at right now, I'm at a good place. But it took a little bit to get there. In the beginning? A lot of rainy days, so to speak. A lot of rainy days."

The new season of Jersey Shore will be its last.

Mike transformed immensely while filming the series' conclusion.

"This particular season, season six, it definitely comes full circle," he explained.

"And being the sixth one, you'll see how my relationship with the whole house, MVP, Ronnie, Sammie and obviously Snooki, and you'll see how they change throughout the season."

Mike is keeping sober by putting one foot in front of the other.

"I really took it day by day and tried to be the best me that I could be on a daily basis," he said.
