From struggling with drug addiction, Mike has become an author and Guinness World Record Holder.

He was born in an unhealthy environment, just like most of you out there; raised unhealthily, and into a nation where you must “Work hard, play hard,” which he took too personally. Surprisingly, Mike started his drink addiction in his early teen years. All he did was play football and party hard in pubs, get into fights, and all these activities that only led him to destroy himself. Later on, Mike’s drug addiction started unexpectedly when he was at the gym. He looked a bit inactive, slow, and tired – so someone offered him cocaine. With no second thoughts, Mike accepted it. Since then, it didn’t take him long before he found himself addicted to this substance and started to live this hardcore lifestyle. At some point, he became so used to taking cocaine that it was no longer a reason to consume it – it had become a habit. Although Mike achieved everything he ever dreamed of, such as being a television star, acting, and living the Hollywood dream – he sensed that it was about time to become “clean.”

Mike Diamond decided to adopt simple ways to become sober and was determined to achieve it at all costs. So, he went to an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. If you’re in Mike’s shoes right now, the best thing you can do is surround yourself with people who try to better themselves, as you will feel more encouraged and motivated to take action. On the same page, if one surrounds themselves with people who take drugs, they’ll do it too; surround yourself with people who want to get sober, you’ll do it too. So, people who went to Alcoholic Anonymous were sober for over 15 years by the time, which was something that Mike felt like doing. He admired those people, as they were an example, a reason to push Mike towards the path of achieving what he has today.

Once Mike found himself accomplishing sobriety, he also decided to use his own experiences and help others with addiction. He didn’t plan to become a sober coach, not at all. But he taught people to make better decisions through mindfulness and meditation. Unexpectedly, people ended up victorious and won the fight against their addiction. Ever since then, people started to refer Mike to others, and that’s how he began to receive all those messages asking for assistance. Mike Diamond began to travel across the nation, looking for people who needed his help. Sometimes, he decided to dedicate his time to one single person, regardless if he spent weeks or months with them – the process of fighting addiction had Mike overpass his ego and help others survive their everyday lives.

It was only a matter of time until Mike decided to use all of his teachings and advice and transpose them into a book. He was giving people advice and speeches on alcohol and drug addiction, so he realized that those strategies could be presented in actionable ways that anyone can follow to combat their addiction. That’s how “7 Steps to an Unbreakable Mindset” was born and soon turned into a huge success. Now, his book is such a source of inspiration for those of you looking to beat addiction and get back to their happy and healthy lives. Mike Diamond has already helped people from across the world to overcome addiction issues – his speeches and book helped millions of people reach their full potential and overcome addiction.

His only purpose is to inspire and give people the strength to feel motivated, so he doesn’t only do it through speeches but also his extraordinary actions. His actions consist in running 30 half marathons in 1 month to help with a charity that supports a young girl suffering from a rare autoimmune disease. Although Mike also struggles with some medical problems, he managed to work through them. This brought Mike a lot of satisfaction but also the Guinness World Record for running.
