Lucy Hale of Pretty Little Liars Celebrates Two Years of Sobriety

Lucy Hale, a Pretty Little Liars alum, reminisced on her two years of sobriety, marking the occasion with a heartfelt message to those who are struggling.

The Pretty Little Liars alum reminisced on how the choice to stop drinking altered her life in a touching post commemorating two years of sobriety.

“This continues to be the greatest gift I’ve given myself,” the 34-year-old captioned an Instagram post on Jan. 2. “I remain so grateful for another year of growth, growing pains, lessons, joys, and self realizations.”

Lucy went on to say that “interactions, conversations, and moments of vulnerability” with individuals she knows and strangers had given her “so much meaning.”

“Those experiences have been my favorite takeaway from this last year,” the Hating Game star said in the caption. “To every person I have connected with…thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

The Truth or Dare singer, who has been candid about her drinking difficulties, also addressed those who may be suffering from addiction.

“Lastly, if you are struggling please know you are not alone and that you do not have to trek this path alone,” she wrote in an email. “Healing is deeply personal and unique to each of us; there is no right or wrong way to heal.” My only suggestion is to stay open-minded and interested, and to seek out others who notice and support you. It does improve. Take it one step at a time.”

The heartfelt letter was published alongside a snapshot depicting Lucy’s sobriety in years, months, days, and hours.

Tyler Blackburn, Lucy’s Pretty Little Liars co-star, expressed his admiration in the comments, saying, “So proud of you!” “Love u so much Lulu,” said longtime pal Colton Haynes. “I AM PROUD OF YOU!”

But it hasn’t been easy for the Dude actress, who has claimed that getting sober took years.

“I’ve been working on getting sober since I was 20,” she acknowledged on the Diary of a CEO with Steven Barlett podcast in February. “I’m 33 years old; it takes time.” It needed a lot of patience on my part.”

Lucy, on the other hand, has accepted her adventure in stride.

“I can show up exactly who I am and share my story, and to actually be able to talk about this is so freeing because it’s not chaining me down anymore,” she said. “It deprives it of its power.” I can be Lucy, which isn’t always endearing. It’s dark, filthy, and frightening, yet it’s what makes us all complicated, lovely human beings: we all have this shadow self.”
