Country singer and Pretty Little Liars star Lucy Hale is marking a big milestone: She celebrated one year of sobriety early this year.

Hale hasn't previously shared much about her sobriety journey, but on Tuesday (Feb. 14), she commemorated the occasion with a few words and a photo.

Hale shared a snapshot of the cake she enjoyed in celebration of her hard work, which was decorated with pink icing and rainbow sprinkles. "1 YEAR!" was written in yellow icing across the top.

"Bear with me, this is an alternative Valentine's Day post," the star tells her fans in the caption. "This is a post about self-love and about the greatest thing I've ever done. On January 2, 2023 I celebrated one year of sobriety."

Hale adds that she hopes her experience with sobriety will serve as inspiration to anyone facing addiction, or anyone who simply wishes to cut alcohol, drugs or other substances out of their life.

"While this journey has mostly been private, I felt compelled tonight to let anyone who is struggling know that you are not alone and you are loved," she says, concluding her post with a string of red emoji hearts.

Hale released a string of country singles in the 2010s, and her debut album, Road Between, came out in 2014. The album produced two radio singles, including "You Sound Good to Me," which was a Top 30 hit.

Top 22 Country Songs of 2022, Ranked

There are plenty of feel-good country jams on this list of the top country songs of 2022, but the No. 1 song is one of the best love songs of the decade. These 22 songs are ranked by critical acclaim, radio and sales success, and importance to the genre.

Seven of the 22 artists made our Top Country Songs list from 2021, as well, but there are no song repeats. If a song made a previous list (or didn't spend most of its time on the charts in 2022), it's not eligible. So, before you ask where your favorite song is (i.e. Cody Johnson, "'Til You Can't"), be sure the miss isn't just a technicality.
