You worry that one day, that side will just take over and something bad will happen. You really hope that he manages to hold it in, as Tyson really does give a lot of hope to a lot of people. He isn't in permanent trouble with the law, he is making baby steps into promotion, he is seemingly making progress with his life. I wish him nothing but the best.
Anyone that knows addiction and have either been addicted or knows someone close to them that was/is addicted KNOWS it is NOT an easy task to get cleaned up.

Everyone relapses at least one time. Some drive way down into the dumps when they relapse, others go back for a few times and then go back to their support network of friends, family and professionals.

Someone in Mike's life may be enabling him... which may be a cause of his behaviour.

I hope he sorts it out. From a humanity aspect of it- because I feel for the addicted.
