Rumer Willis rang in the new year on the up and up.
The actress and singer marked four years sober on Instagram with two selfies, the second of which featured her proudly holding up four fingers.
“4 Years Sober Today!!!” she wrote on Thursday. “So grateful for choosing myself above any need to distract or numb out. Especially this past year when so much has come up for not just myself but the world.”
The 32-year-old daughter of Bruce Willis and Demi Moore wrote that she felt “immense gratitude” for fighting through any difficult and painful feelings with “no escape” and living through them to emerge on the other side.
“This year has brought up so many challenges but I know that because I choose to rise to the challenge each and every time I am loving myself and showing myself that I am capable of getting through anything,” the former “Empire” star shared.
Willis, who took home the Mirror Ball trophy on “Dancing with the Stars” in 2015, concluded her inspiring note with a message to anyone else thinking about pursuing sobriety, noting it’s a personal journey that is different for everyone.
“For anyone and everyone who is struggling or has a desire to get sober know that it is not a one size fits all process but it’s one day at a time,” she wrote. “I don’t have all the answers, I know what has worked for me but always here to lend support or just listen.”
In the past, Willis did not clarify specifically what she was becoming sober from.
That was intentional. “I didn’t say I was sober from anything, I could have been sober from a food addiction or buying too many clothes or from relationships or whatever,
but I think we’re in this culture where we naturally presume and assume,” she told People in 2017.
