Congratulations are in order for Hollywood legend and actor Rob Lowe, who is proudly celebrating 31 years of sobriety this week! The 57-year-old husband and father of two shared the anniversary on his Instagram page Monday, and fans couldn't be more proud!
Now, the actor is paying homage to his family for being so supportive during his sobriety journey.
As fans may recall, Rob recently insisted that now would be the perfect time for a reunion of all our favorite '80s teen actors.
"There is not enough in the world to make fun of, I think the Brat Pack should volunteer."
In a post-COVID-world, walking into a theater and seeing Rob Lowe, Emilio Estevez, Anthony Michael Hall, Andrew McCarthy, Judd Nelson, Molly Ringwald, Demi Moore, and Ally Sheedy on-screen together?
The actor has always been open with his journey in an effort to help fans who are experiencing the same struggles.
“She was the first person I ever knew who got sober," he told the audience at the time.
"I just remember thinking, ‘If that girl can get sober, anybody can.' Everybody has that person in their life where they go, ‘That’s a great example.’ So it was very helpful."
In an emotional Instagram post, the actor had a message for fans who felt alone in their battle with addiction.
"From a treatment center in Arizona to a bomb shelter in Israel, I have come to know many extraordinary people, and the fellowship of recovery has changed my life and given me gifts beyond my selfish imaginings."
Now, a year later, Rob is posting in celebration of being 31 years sober.
"Today I have 31 years drug and alcohol-free. I want to give thanks to everyone walking this path with me, and welcome anyone thinking about joining us; the free and the happy."
"And a big hug to my family for putting up with me!! Xoxo"
What an awesome accomplishment! We're so proud of you, Rob!
