Thanksgiving will be an extra special day this year for Ashley McBryde. Ashley will celebrate her 900th day of sobriety on “Turkey Day” this year!
“I was adding up — I want to celebrate on the 900th day of being sober, and I was like, ‘That’s a milestone! You should celebrate that.’ I looked, and it’s Thanksgiving Day, so it’s got a holiday built in this time.” she told PEOPLE.
Ashley quit drinking in June of 2022, but kept it to herself until announcing it until later in 2023.
“I decided that I wasn’t gonna talk about it at all until at least a year, because what I didn’t need was people on social media being like, ‘Ashley McBryde swears off alcohol!’ All people are gonna do is just wait for you to screw up, and that’s really annoying. I did it for me. I didn’t do it for social media.” Ashley said.
Congratulations, Ashley!
