Now, eight years into sobriety with two kids and another on the way, the 41-year-old MTV "Jersey Shore" star is detailing some of the wildest years of his life in a new tell-all book:
"Reality Check: Making the Best of The Situation — How I Overcame Addiction, Loss, and Prison."
Big Daddy Sitch will be at signing copies at Bookends Book Store on Dec. 17, two days before his book hits the shelves. Click here for tickets.
Sorrentino's tell-all book details orgies The Situation had with his "Jersey Shore" co-stars, according to US Weekly, and dives into his years of drug abuse, rock bottom, and rehab.
In an exclusive interview about the book with "Entertainment Tonight," the Manalapan native says his fame was like "gasoline on a fire" when it came to his drug use.
He said he spent $500,000 on cocaine and oxycodone, and always had Percocet, Xanax, or Valium on him.
Sorrentino even smuggled drugs into Italy through a pair of shoes for Season 4 of the show. He says he ran out of pills, though, sending him into withdrawal — captured on the episode when he rams his head into a wall, Sorrentino said with Rachel Smith.
"I was always high," he said.
"Reality Check: Making the Best of The Situation — How I Overcame Addiction, Loss, and Prison" is out Dec. 19.
