Two years and counting!
Kyle Richards celebrated two years alcohol-free on social media on Thursday, admitting that “many people” still want her to reach for the booze.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” OG, 55, marked the milestone by sharing a flexing gym selfie on Instagram as she shared some insight into her sobriety journey.
“This week was my 2 year anniversary of being alcohol free (July 15th) I can remember a time when the idea of going 2 weeks seemed impossible,” she captioned her Instagram post.
“I’m proud of the fact that I’ve had the willpower to stay on this path.”
In the snap, shared with her 4.3 million followers, the “Halloween” star showed off her svelte figure in the gym.
The reality star donned a black co-ord workout set in her home gym as her dog was perched up behind her.
“I know many people would love for me to start drinking again,” she continued in her lengthy caption. “Even friends with the best of intentions. Everyone loved ‘Party Kyle.’ I think that was the hardest part of all of this. The resistance from others.”
The mom of four admitted that she used to be a “people pleaser,” and often drank alcohol to “be ‘on’ at a party or social setting.”
Richards also opened up about her wild party days behind her, although she teased that she “may still drop a split here and there.”
“My mental and physical health became a lot more important to me,” she continued. “It would have been a lot harder going through these difficult times if I had been drinking.”
The pair, who share four children, separated last year after 27 years of marriage.
The real estate mogul was pictured kissing a mystery woman at the airport in Mykonos, Greece earlier this week.
Richards — who removed “wife” from her Instagram bio — has made it her mission to “wake up every day feeling my best.”
“Mentally & physically strong enough to face whatever comes my way,” she continued, adding that she’s “happy and inspired” when strangers tell her she motivated them to opt into a booze-free lifestyle.
“Personally, I prefer to see people and situations just as they are. AND without the hangxiety ❤️ #alcoholfree,” she signed off.
