Jamie Lee Curtisis marking 25 years of sobriety.
The Academy Award winner, 65, shared a heartfelt message on Instagram Saturday to commemorate her personal milestone of being “clean and sober” for a quarter-century.
“25 years clean and sober. One day at a time. 9,125 of them,” Curtis wrote. “What’s inside, as my old friend Adam sang, is a sense of calm, serenity, purpose and the greatest feeling that I am not alone. That many others share the same disease and solution.”
“For all those struggling with addiction and shame, there are others out here who care,” she added. “My hand in yours. Our hands in yours. XO JLC.”
Alongside the touching caption, Curtis uploaded an image of herself holding a ring, which featured the inscription “JLC TWENTY FIVE.”
“Thank you for sharing your experiences, strength & hope,” wrote drag queen Mrs. Kasha Davis. “You inspire many including this fellow alcoholic #onedayatatime 🦋.”

Curtis, who has previously been candid about her experience as an “opiate addict,” told PEOPLEin 2018that her addiction lasted until 1999.
“I was ahead of the curve of the opiate epidemic,” she said. “I had a 10-year run, stealing, conniving. No one knew. No one.”
Curtis added at the time that getting sober was her “single greatest accomplishment … bigger than my husband, bigger than both of my children and bigger than any work, success, failure.”
