Feb. 23, 2023 – Hale took to Instagram on Valentine’s Day to talk about the importance of “self-love” and revealed that she recently celebrated 12 months of sobriety — which she commemorated with a special cake.
“Bear with me, this is an alternative Valentine’s Day post,” Hale wrote, alongside the photo of a sprinkle-covered cake with the words “1 Year!” written in icing. “This is a post about self-love and about the greatest thing I’ve ever done.”
Hale explained, “On January 2, 2023, I celebrated one year of sobriety.” One of my best friends died of alcoholism and that still didn’t make me want to get sober. Alcohol isn’t the problem – the problem is this feeling inside of me. I tried to change for boyfriends, I tried to change for my mom, I tried to change for my career, I tried to change for vain reasons – ‘I’ll look younger and look skinner… I’ll stop drinking for that.’ None of that s**t works.”
