Kyle Richards Says She's 'Never Felt Better' While Celebrating One Year of Soberity

Kyle Richards is enjoying the sober life.

On Saturday (July 15), the 54-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star took to Instagram to celebrate one year of sobriety.

“Today marks one year alcohol free for me 😊 A number of things made me come to the conclusion that I didn’t want to drink,” Kyle wrote along with the below selfie. “First and foremost, I didn’t feel it had a place where I personally wanted to be. I listened to my heart and the message was clear to me. I knew it was no longer serving me (no pun intended) physically, mentally or spiritually.”

“I never put a time frame on when I would drink again or say IF I ever would. All I know is I have never felt better physically or been more clear mentally,” Kyle continued. “I’ve learned that I still over share but at least I don’t have the ‘hanxiety’ thinking about it 😆 I’ve learned I still do stupid things sometimes and beat myself up about it. I’ve learned I’m still fun 😁 and last but not least I’ve learned it was much easier than I thought it would be. It was definitely met with resistance by some. But I have never been one to fall prey to peer pressure. No matter my age.”

Kyle concluded, “Mainly people are supportive even if they didn’t quite understand since I don’t have a ‘problem’ with alcohol. Although trust me plenty of times it didn’t feel like that 😆 Alcohol made me feel depressed the next day no matter how fun the night before was. And honestly, life is going to throw us some difficult days. I certainly don’t need to be adding any extra ones to that list. A lot of you send me DM’s asking about my journey without alcohol, so I decided to share here today on this 365th day 🙏 Cheers ❤️”
