Ashley McBryde is marking a significant personal achievement. Over the weekend, the GRAMMY-winning artist shared a momentous update: she has reached 1,000 days of sobriety.
Previously, McBryde discussed her path to sobriety with PEOPLE, disclosing that she stopped drinking in June 2022. She initially kept this decision private for about a year. On November 28, 2024, the Grand Ole Opry member openly celebrated 900 days of sobriety through a heartfelt Instagram post.
During that time, McBryde expressed that she had faced a pivotal choice: continue down a destructive path or embrace a new way of living. Acknowledging the harm she had caused herself and others, she decided to make a change, which she now regards as the best decision of her life. Her dedication to sobriety has had a significant positive impact, and despite the challenges, reaching this 1,000-day mark is a testament to her perseverance.
McBryde’s recent Instagram post showcased her holding a sign proclaiming “1000 Days Sober” in bold letters. The accompanying caption reflected on the positive changes these 1,000 days have brought into her life.
In her message, she emphasized the absence of hangovers, the skipped apologies, and the strength she found in music and life on the road. She also highlighted the self-love and compassion she now extends to herself daily, appreciating the woman she has become and the journey she is still on.
This milestone has not only been a personal triumph for McBryde but also a source of inspiration for others on similar journeys. She encouraged everyone to take pride in their progress, no matter where they are in their own paths, urging them to continue forward despite any setbacks.
Supportive comments flooded her post, with fans and fellow musicians applauding her achievement. Notable reactions came from country stars who shared their admiration and encouragement for McBryde’s accomplishment.
Ashley McBryde is currently wrapping up her performances as a special guest on Cody Johnson’s 2025 Leather Deluxe Tour. She also has several festival appearances scheduled, including Stagecoach and various Country Thunder events.
