Why did I want to talk with Jerzey Mike Faria? Mike has done a 180 in his recovery journey, openly sharing his struggles and triumphs as a social media influencer. He is open, honest, and vulnerable. Mike is passionate about his personal as well as his family's mental health and he speaks openly about his childhood that led to a path of substance use and alcoholism.
Mike's story started simple enough, but he pinpoints the absence of a male role model in his youth playing into his stealing and using drugs and alcohol. Mike states "It made me feel like I was a man" and trouble followed.
Mike eventually used and abused alcohol and no other drugs, in the midst of a tumultuous relationship Mike's drinking escalated to the point of landing him in a coma. Mike shares now the aftermath of putting his life back together and growing as a man, father, and in his faith.
