\"I share my journey of addiction, because it is so important to break the stigma of addiction. People are suffering out there because they are afraid to speak out about needing help,\" said Sorrentino. \"If I can help just one person find their voice, I know it was all worth it!\"

The reality star also issued words of encouragement to those who know someone struggling with addiction by assuring them they are not alone.

\"If you or someone you know are struggling with addiction or mental health issues, don’t be afraid to ask for help. If I can do this I know you can too,\" he closed his post, providing his treatment center's contact information in hopes that the person who calls it will \"start the journey of the rest of your life.\"
