Also on Instagram, Kyle reflected on being alcohol-free for two years.

“I can remember a time when the idea of going 2 weeks seemed impossible. I’m proud of the fact that I’ve had the willpower to stay on this path. I know many people would love for me to start drinking again. Even friends with the best of intentions. Everyone loved ‘Party Kyle,’” Kyle wrote. “I think that was the hardest part of all of this. The resistance from others. The old me , the people pleaser, did struggle with that aspect of it. And I realized right away that I wasn’t going to have a ton of encouragement.”

“But I’ve dropped enough splits and whipped enough [ponytails] to know when it’s time to call it a day (ok, I may still drop a split here and there. Sorry) But my mental and physical health became a lot more important to me than feeling like I had to be ‘on’ at a party or social setting,” she continued. “I’m not going to lie… the fact that I looked better because I wasn’t drinking was also incentive to not veer from the road I am on. But the real reward is how I feel on the inside. I feel strong , energetic and grateful for my body. I want to take care of it like it has taken care of me.”

Kyle went on to seemingly give a nod to her and Mauricio’s split, saying that if she were drinking, her “difficult times” would have been even harder.

“I want to wake up every day feeling my best. Mentally [and] physically strong enough to face whatever comes my way. Many strangers come up to me and tell me that I have inspired them to start their own alcohol free journey. That makes me happy and inspires me in return. So, thank you for that,” she went on.

Also in her caption, Kyle appeared to throw some shade as she mentioned Ernest Hemingway‘s famous quote, “I drink to make other people more interesting.”

“Personally , I prefer to see people and situations just as they are. AND without the hangxiety,” she noted.
