Recent WWE signee Mike Kanellis says he struggled the past few years with a prescription drug addiction that almost caused him to lose everything … and now he’s opening up to help others.

Kanellis posted an image on Instagram last night detailing the entire story and explained, “This picture was taken this year. It symbolizes my decision to get clean from an addiction to prescription drugs. A problem I kept hidden from my wife, my family, my friends, everyone.”

The wrestler says his addiction began after he dislocated his kneecap three years ago, but spiraled out of control for the past year and a half … adding, “I almost lost everything.”

Mike credits his wife Maria Kanellis for helping him through everything. “Without her, I would be lost. She is the strongest, toughest woman I know. She has been my rock and my reason for fighting. She has been with me every step of the way and I’ll say it again, I would truly be lost without her.”

He concluded the post by saying, “If you are struggling, please don’t give up hope. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, you are not alone. I have your back.”
