AJ McLean is celebrating an important milestone.
The Backstreet Boys singer, who has been open about his journey over the years, recently marked two years of sobriety.
“Today is a very special day for me,” he said in a video shared to Instagram Sept. 26. “And it’s been one hell of a journey. A lot of bumps in the road, a lot of highs, a lot of lows. But today is two years sober for me. I’m very grateful for everyone in my camp. I am extremely grateful to my sponsor and my therapist and to all the support that I’ve gotten throughout the years.”
The 45-year-old concluded his message on a poignant note, adding, “And if this helps another addict out there, then I did my job. You can do it, if I can do it. God bless you all. And cheers to another day sober.”
AJ, who hosts 12-step Alcoholics Anonymous meetings at his home, reflected on the intricacies of his journey ahead of his milestone.
