Patricia Heaton is celebrating a major milestone in her life: three years of sobriety from alcohol.

The actress, 63, hopped on Instagram Saturday to share the special news with her nearly 200,000 followers in a video captioned, in part, "A lot to celebrate this month."

"Hello, friends! I'm just finishing up my, what, 3½-mile walk around the reservoir. And it's July, when we celebrate our nation's freedom. Also, [I'm] celebrating three years of freedom from alcohol for me. So I just want to share that with you," Heaton said in the clip with a contagious smile.

The former Carol's Second Act star then offered a helping hand to anyone in a similar position.

"Message me if you are thinking about doing that and if you are doing that now and you need some encouragement or anything at all," she added before ending the video.
