Kyle Richardsis celebrating 365 days of being “alcohol free.”
On Saturday, theReal Housewives of Beverly Hillsstar, 54, revealed in a candid Instagram post that she is one year sober and has “never felt better.”
“Today marks one year alcohol free for me 😊,” Richards wrote wrote alongside aselfie. “A number of things made me come to the conclusion that I didn’t want to drink. First and foremost, I didn’t feel it had a place where I personally wanted to be."
Then noting that she made the decision to quit alcohol as “I knew it was no longer serving me physically, mentally or spiritually," Richards said the process “was much easier than I thought it would be."
“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,” the Bravo star 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."

She concluded: “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 ❤️.”
