Lucy Hale, the talented actress known for her roles in *Pretty Little Liars*, *Life Sentence*, and *Scream 4*, recently celebrated a major milestone in her life—three years of sobriety. On social media, she expressed her gratitude, writing, “Damn, 3 years ago today, I began my journey in remembering who I am. Since then, I’ve experienced moments that can only be described as pure miracles and magic.” She thanked the people who have supported her, the greater power she believes in, and her own perseverance in staying on the path to recovery.
Hale’s post was met with a flood of support from her fans and friends, including her *Pretty Little Liars* co-star Janel Parrish, who called her “absolutely amazing,” and singer Demi Lovato, who shared her pride in Hale’s journey.
In a previous interview with *PEOPLE*, Hale opened up about her sobriety journey, admitting that she didn’t set out to be a spokesperson for sobriety but found it healing to share her story. For her, staying sober is a daily choice, one she continues to make for herself every day. She described the process as not just about avoiding alcohol, but about making healthier choices and embracing her true self.
Hale reflected on the turning point in her life, admitting that hitting rock bottom in January 2022 was a wake-up call. She realized that addiction often leaves you feeling powerless, and it took years of struggle, relapses, and self-reflection to find the tools that worked for her. She emphasized that addressing the underlying reasons behind her drinking was essential to her recovery, and she believes removing alcohol was just one step in her overall journey of healing and self-discovery.
Her story is a powerful reminder of resilience and the importance of taking control of one’s life, no matter how difficult the road may seem.
