Kyle Richards is celebrating a special milestone in her sobriety journey.
“Today marks one year alcohol-free for me. A number of things made me come to the conclusion that I didn’t want to drink. First and foremost, I didn’t feel it had a place where I personally wanted to be,” the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 54, wrote via Instagram on Saturday, July 15. “I listened to my heart and the message was clear to me. I knew it was no longer serving me (no pun intended) physically, mentally or spiritually.”
She continued: “I never put a time frame on when I would drink again or say IF I ever would. All I know is I have never felt better physically or been more clear mentally. I’ve learned that I still overshare but at least I don’t have the ‘hanxiety’ thinking about it. I’ve learned I still do stupid things sometimes and beat myself up about it. I’ve learned I’m still fun and last but not least I’ve learned it was much easier than I thought it would be. It was definitely met with resistance by some. But I have never been one to fall prey to peer pressure. No matter my age.”
Richards acknowledged that she did not have a “problem with alcohol” that lead her to quit drinking but that it made her “feel depressed the next day.”
“And honestly, life is going to throw us some difficult days. I certainly don’t need to be adding any extra ones to that list,” she concluded her social media message.
Several of Richards’ celebrity friends — including RHOBH costars Erika Jayne and Garcelle Beauvais — and family members shared their love for her in the comments amid her wellness journey.
“What!!! Omg I am so proud of you!! We love a strong-willed healthy mind, body and soul queen 🧘♀️🕉️,” Richards’ daughter Alexia, 27, wrote via Instagram comment.
Her eldest daughter, Farrah, 34, chimed in: “Love you ❤️❤️❤️.”
