"I haven’t been vocal about my sobriety on here just because I felt it was something I wanted to keep personal, but I had a change of heart today," he explained. "Two years in and I am more grateful than ever to have a community of support and friends who continue to build me up and hold me accountable."
He continued: "Making the decision to change your life is difficult at any age, but as a young person I hope that I can be a small example that it is possible and that things really do get SO MUCH BETTER."

Recounting when he "first got sober," the star said he remembered thinking: "My fun is done, and I’m not going to be cool anymore."
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}"I came home when I was probably sober two or three weeks and I got a call from Steven Tyler, who I did not know. He called to say ‘I heard you are in recovery and I just wanted to say hey, I’m thinking of you dude.’ If it’s good enough for f---ing Steven Tyler, it’s good enough for me," Rob Lowe said.
