Mighty Ducks actor, Shaun Weiss , celebrated two years of sobriety in January 2022. The 43-year-old was arrested back in January 2020, facing burglary and methamphetamine-related charges, but has since completed a 12-step program to sobriety and rewarded himself with a new set of pearly whites!
Marking two years of sobriety, Weiss shared a photo on Instagram commemorating his recovery from addiction, and now he’s giving fans a two-month update on his journey.
“Mighty Ducks” actor, Shaun Weiss, is celebrating his second year and second month of sobriety this week.
His decision to become sober came after he was arrested in January 2020, facing burglary and methamphetamine-related charges . It was then reported last July, that he had completed a court-ordered drug program.
Fortunately for him, he was able to have the burglary charges against him dropped. Furthermore, The Yuba County District Attorney’s Office has since praised Weiss for his “perseverance during his recovery,” amid the pandemic and following a “serious accident” involving a loved one.
Weiss took to Instagram in January to share a photo with his more than 9000 Instagram followers, commemorating his recovery from addiction thus far.
He shared two photos side-by-side, displaying an older photo of himself, presumably in the thick of his addiction, and a photo of himself now, looking much happier and healthier.
In an additional post, Weiss thanked his fans for their love and support with a photo of two socks that read “sober AF” and “two years” on the bottom.
He also thanked followers for their “love and support” and shared a phone number to Quest 2 Recovery, for any of his followers who may know someone in need of treatment.
Now, two months later, Weiss is updating fans on his recovery by showing off his brand new smile and the dentist who made it happen.
He shared a selfie, smiling alongside his dentist, Dr. Gabe Rosenthal, on Instagram, flaunting his new teeth.
“I feel like a new person. Thank you, Dr. Gabe!” he captioned the photo, to which his dentist later replied in the comments: “You look even more handsome in person! So happy for you my brother.”
Dr. Gabe Rosenthal also shared a photo with Weiss on his own profile, congratulating him on his progress and urging him to smile more.
“It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life… and I’m feeling GOOD! Congratulations @shaunweiss. Smile as much as possible,” he wrote.
