Popular media personality Mike Mondo has opened up about his battle with alcohol addiction and how his wife, Shiko Nguru, played an important role to sobriety journey .

In a candid revelation, Mondo shared that his excessive drinking had taken a severe toll on his health, landing him in the hospital twice last year. “I got to a point where my alcohol consumption was causing serious physical effects,” he admitted. “I was never sober, always high. I used alcohol to numb the stress from relationships, family issues, and even to cope with the demands of hosting a radio show.”

Mondo credited his wife for implementing a life-changing rule that helped him regain control. ”We have  a rule where we can’t consume alcohol when both of us are not together.” Adding, “She told me, ‘If I have to stop for you to stop, then I will support you,‘” he recalled. 

Thanks to Nguru’s support, Mondo rarely drinks. “Nowadays, I don’t drink every day like I used to. I can go three weeks to a month without touching alcohol,” he shared. While he still enjoys an occasional beer during date nights, his relationship with alcohol has changed entirely.
