Dean McDermott‘s celebrating a huge milestone in his sobriety journey … revealing to fans he’s been clean and sober for three years — and encouraging others stuck in addiction to seek help.
The actor shared a video to Instagram on Friday … calling himself “Clean Dean” and saying he’s in such a great mood because he’s celebrating his third anniversary.
Dean says he’s sharing because he wants other people to know it is possible to get clean … adding “Hell has an exit.”
If Dean can do it, then so can normal people out there, he says … but they need to reach out their hands and ask for help if they want to get clean.
Dean captioned his video, “WOW we wee WOW!! 3 years!! Couldn’t have done it without my Family, Friends, Fellowship, Sponsor and a 12 step program!! It all started with surrendering and asking for help. The best decision I’ve ever made. If you’re struggling, reach out. I love you all.”
As you know … Dean dealt with substance abuse issues for years — even entering rehab in 2014 — but really dove into his recovery in 2023 around the time he and Tori Spelling split.
He later told stories about how alcohol-fueled rages scared his Tori and their kids a ton … though, in this new video, he talks about how he’s busy building back his relationship with his children.
The former couple recently reunited for their daughter Stella‘s high school graduation, too … so, it seems they’re also trying to keep things civil — no doubt helped on by Dean’s sobriety.
