Including a pic of herself looking completely peaceful (and seriously twinning with her mom), the Dancing With the Stars winner continued, “Yesterday I celebrated 6 Months of Sobriety. It’s not something I planned on but after the long journey of getting here I can honestly say I have never been more proud of myself in my entire life. Thank you all for the love and support and remember to be gentle with yourself 😊.”
