Three years have gone by since he was a contestant on the show, but Jersey Shore's Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino blames Dancing With the Stars for the pill addiction he's battled ever since.
While competing on DWTS, he suffered a neck injury, which he wound up being prescribed pain killers for. The pills led to Mike developing an addiction to opiates that was so bad, there were days he admits he couldn't even find the energy to get dressed and get out of bed.
Thankfully, he seems to have things mostly under control now even though he's still taking medication for his injury and is in counseling to deal with his addiction.
But what happened to Mike just goes to show how grueling being on DWTS is for some contestants. Going through hours and hours of daily rehearsals to get ready to perform each week is no joke.
Even though some of the cast members are already in amazing shape when they go on the show, nothing can truly prepare them for how much stress their bodies are going to go through while learning the dances. Most of them are moving around in ways they aren't used to, and one wrong move can leave them with an injury that they may wind up dealing with for years to come.
And it really bugs me how no one gives these dancers enough credit, especially when they don't naturally pick up on the steps and look like Fred Astaire on the very first night. I mean -- give them a break! What they're trying to learn to do is HARD in every sense of the word, and it just isn't right for viewers and also the judges to pick on them or give them a hard time.
Hopefully hearing that Mike is still having trouble with his injury and resulting addiction will inspire people to offer a little more support to the new DWTS season 17 contestants instead of immediately criticizing them for being less than perfect.
You know what they say -- you can't judge someone until you've danced a mile in their shoes!
Do you think it was brave of Mike to speak out about his addiction?
Image via Splash
Guess some people cant take the blame for something they've done in their life!
No one forced him to do the show and he got paid well for it. And many other people suffer severe injuries and have pain killers for awhile and don`t let themselves become addicted. I have severe back issues and neurological issues from a car accidient years ago and I just deal with the pain or take Advil occassionally. You can`t blame someone else for your weaknesses. You have to take responsibility for your own actions.
He was an idiot before he was on it and obviously he still is! No one is to blame for any drug use except for yourself....No one on the show shoved the pills down his throat. I was once married to a drug addict and this is just one of the "pity me" ploys they use. Always blaming everyone except themselves. Be a man, put down the pills and take control of your life!

Introduction to Fatigue and Fracture Analysis
- 16 February - 18 February 2015
- Duration: 3 Days
- Location: Cranfield campus
The School of Engineering at Cranfield has, for many years, had one of the largest programmes in the world of short courses in Gas Turbine Technology. The course aims to enable delegates to determine the life cycle of machines and machine components.
Fatigue and fracture are essentially two sides of the same coin since they both give us insight into the nature of cyclic failure and both allow us to determine the cyclic life of a component under particular conditions. Of course, fatigue is almost completely empirical in nature and based upon experience of broken components going back to the age when wheels first fell off railway rolling stock. Fracture, whilst still leaning heavily on practical test, is much more analytical in nature, being based upon an analytical model of the small flaw (imperfection) which all failed components can be assumed to have held before finally leading to their failure.
Course objectives
On completion of the course, the attendee will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the basic concepts and theories of fatigue and fracture and be able to adopt them to undertake calculations.
The course introduces delegates to the problems involved in lifing machines, or machine components, for cyclic loading. It will deal with what is, without doubt, the most damaging of the failure modes, which we know as fatigue, arising as it does from the repeated application of a load, as for examples when we re-use a gas turbine many times (LCF) or when a component within the gas turbine vibrates (HCF).
It is not intended to dwell on the metallurgical nature of fatigue but instead to introduce delegates to some of the basic concepts, and resulting methods of calculation, with the aid of which engineers have managed to design for fatigue over the years. Calculating techniques from both the well-established fatigue design approach (SN Diagrams, Goodman Diagrams, Neuber Rule) and from the fracture mechanics approach (Stress Intensity, Paris Curve, Walker etc) will be used.
Course topics
- Brief overview of conventional stress based lifing methods and the estimation of factor of safety using Goodman Diagrams
- Multi-axial fatigue: The use of Sines method to estimate equivalent mean and alternating stresses
- Cycle counting methods involving variation in fatigue stress concentration factor, in particular the 'Rainflow Cycle Counting Method'
- Low cycle fatigue: The significance of using strain based methods as opposed to stress based methods; The use of the Neuber and Linear rules in conjunction with the Coffin and Manson equation or Manson's Equal slopes equation to estimate the cyclic life of a component
- Introduction to linear elastic fracture mechanics and the use of the Paris equation to estimate the cracked life of a component
- Lifting philosophies including deterministic, damage tolerance and probabilistic methodologies.
Who should attend
There are no particular requirements for those attending this course except an interest in Cyclic Failure. The standard of the course is fairly fundamental, that is, it is not a forum for the latest theories, and the mathematics involved are fairly basic. Accordingly, attendees will derive additional benefit from the varied backgrounds and experience drawn from many UK and overseas organisations.
SpeakersThe course is presented through lectures and tutorials conducted by members of Cranfield University's staff all of whom have considerable academic and industrial experience. Additional lectures will be presented by senior engineers from industry.
Course deliveryThis three-day course is presented through lectures and tutorials. Printed supplements are provided for much of the material covered in the course. A number of worked examples are undertaken by the delegates. Active participation from the delegates is strongly encouraged. All delegates will receive a Certificate of Attendance upon completion of this course.
Course fee
The course fee includes refreshments and lunch during the day. Accommodation is not included and must be booked separately.

PHOENIX (AP) - A group seeking a recall election against Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says it's facing difficulties in raising money in its bid to oust the lawman.
Recall leader William James Fisher says the difficulties mean organizers will have to rely more on volunteers rather paid professionals to gather signatures from voters in their bid to force a recall election.
He says the group is keeping some paid signature gatherers and may add more paid gatherers if the volume of signatures declines significantly.
Recall organizers say they have gathered nearly 150,000 of the more than 335,000 valid signatures required by May 30 to prompt a recall election.
Arpaio critics say the sheriff has put immigration enforcement above other police priorities, while the sheriff's supporters contend the effort is unconstitutional.

The following is from the July 17 City Council meeting:
The public is allowed to speak on any subject not on the agenda. Speakers generally are limited to three minutes, but the time can be adjusted by the council.
•Festival of Arts President Fred Sattler announced that this summer marked the beginning of a two-year celebration of the 80th anniversary of the Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters. He said the Festival and Pageant have attracted millions of visitors to the city since 1932, bolstering revenue for local businesses, contributing to the city's tax base and awarding more than $2 million in scholarships.
The Festival has contributed to the city's history, as well as its economy, via lease payments that paid off the bonds for the purchase of Main Beach Park, city grants to local nonprofits and most recently a review of the Downtown Specific Plan.
"Residents have no doubt noticed the significant improvements we have made to the Festival grounds, which are a benefit to the entire community and make Laguna Beach an even more appealing destination," Sattler said.
•Kathryn Doe said that she has lived in Laguna for 31 years and is a candidate for the City Council. She needs signatures on her nominating papers and would appreciate support. She said she would be available to discuss issues.
•Laguna Beach Chamber of Commerce Executive Director Kristine Thalman announced that Morgan Bixquert, Leo Rousseau and Gauthier Vandermeeren from France and McKenna Nokes of Laguna are interning at the chamber this summer.
All four have been distributing a two-page survey to businesses on a map put together by the Visitors and Conference Bureau. The survey was developed in conjunction with Asst. City Manager Christa Johnson. Results are expected by the end of August.
•Bruce Hopping announced that he was a member of the U.S. Olympic team in 1956 in Melbourne, Australia, again in 1960 in Rome, a member of the Far East Air Force during the war in the Pacific and a 50-year Emeritus Patron of the International Swimming Hall of Fame.
Hopping considers the Heisler Park veterans' memorial a disgrace and urged the Arts Commission to invite designs for a sculpture to truly honor veterans. He asked for recognition of Stuart Saffer, reported that the city's water fountain at Forest and Glenneyre wasn't working and the water was not fit to drink, and asked that his Kalos Kagathos Foundation's mural for Thalia Street be commissioned.
•Builder Pat Galos said the city's code enforcement is out of control, enforcement officers are overstepping their bounds and the city should find better things to do with its money and personnel's time.
Enforcement in Laguna is complaint-driven — meaning somebody complained about a violation before action was taken.
Galos suggested the council members should read an article by Leslie LeBon, a local architect and former member of the Design Review Board.
Council members and staff report on events they have attended, people with whom they have met and other items of public interest.
•Treasurer Laura Parisi announced that levies were discontinued for Assessment Districts 95-5 (Legion and Short streets, El Camino Del Mar and Los Robles) and 95-2 (Ocean Vista, Driftwood and Marilyn drives). The 102 homeowners in these districts will save from $580 to $956 a year beginning with their 2012-13 property tax bills.
•Councilwoman Toni Iseman congratulated the Laguna Art Museum on the Clarence Hinkle exhibit. She also complimented the Chamber of Commerce on its program, "To Catch a Thief," which featured valuable information from Police Officer Zack Martinez.
