Mike "The Situation" Sorrentino was released from prison nearly two weeks ago and now the Jersey Shore: Family Vacation star is speaking out for the first time about his experience behind bars.

"By no means was it [prison] a comfortable situation. Being one day away from your loved ones is unacceptable, but it's manageable and you can survive it."

Sitch told Entertainment Tonight that since he's been out, he's been living his best life. "Oh my God, to be a free man, to be honest with you, it's awesome," he said. "It's fantastic. I have my beautiful wife next to me. I'm healthy, I'm sober, back at work with my best friends on the No. 1 show on MTV and just living the dream."

So how did BDS - who completed an eight month sentence at an upstate New York facility - commemorate his inaugural evening at home?

"First and foremost I wanted to spend some time with my beautiful wife," he revealed. "I wanted to have a naked pizza party. I slowly wanted to get back to work, but first start with the basics."

Offer your words of encouragement to Mike in the comments and be sure to keep watching this season of Jersey Shore: Family Vacation Fridays at 10am AU/NZ 12pm - only on MTV!
