The former Everybody Loves Raymond star, 63, took to social media on Saturday to share that she’s celebrating three years of sobriety from alcohol.
In the video, a winded Heaton recorded herself as she completed a three-and-a-half-mile walk around a reservoir. Sporting a hat and sunglasses, Heaton spoke candidly to the camera about her journey to quit drinking.
“It’s July when we celebrate our nation’s freedom. Also celebrating three years of freedom from alcohol for me,” said Heaton, pointing to herself. “I just wanted to share that with you.”
Captioning the video “a lot to celebrate this month. #3years,” Heaton concluded by asking her 190,000 followers to reach out to her if they have experienced something similar.
“And you know, message me if any of your are thinking about doing that, any of you are doing that now and need some encouragement, or anything at all,” Heaton said. “Have a great day.”
In the comments section, several followers chimed in with their own journeys to quit drinking, ranging from some people counting days to others celebrating decades of sobriety.
Last year, Heaton went into more detail about her decision to quit drinking.
