Nita Strauss is officially 10 years sober.
The Alice Cooper guitarist and solo artist commemorated the milestone in an Instagram post Friday that she headlined, “Made it.”
“I remember my first few weeks of sobriety with this vague idea of ‘I’ll see if I can do 10 years,'” Strauss writes. “At the time, that number was PREPOSTEROUS. Might as well be a million billion years!! I thought I’d just bide my time, wait until things calmed down in my life and then everything could go back to normal.”
She continues, “I had no concept of all the gifts sobriety would bring into my life and how much better the new normal would be!”
Strauss shares that “sobriety still does not come ‘easily’ to me,” adding, “It’s something that you work at quietly every day, on some days that it never crosses your mind and some days harder than others.” She also thanks her husband and friends for their support.
“Sobriety can be a solitary road but it’s important to know that you don’t have to walk it alone when you don’t want to!!” Strauss says.
Strauss will be back on the road with Alice Cooper on tour alongside Judas Priest kicking off Sept. 16 in Biloxi, Mississippi.
