Kristen Bell took time out of her Labor Day celebrations to honor her husband Dax Shepard and his 14 years of sobriety.
The Frozen actress posted an incredibly moving tribute to Dax on his sobriety "birthday." Along with a handful of never-before-seen photos of Dax and their daughters, Kristen wrote:
I know how much you loved using. I know how much it got in your way. And I know, because I saw how hard you worked to live without it. I will forever be in awe of your dedication, and the level of fierce moral inventory you perform on yourself, like an emotional surgery, every single night.
To celebrate, Dax revealed that his wife of five years took him on a tour of King's Hawaiian's (the maker of those famously delicious bread rolls) factory.
Dax, who came to fame in 2003 as a practical joker in Punk'd, got sober in 2004 after years of struggling. “Mostly my love was Jack Daniel’s and cocaine. I was famous for going out on Thursday night to have a couple of beers, and that just led all the way to Saturday night,” the 43-year-old actor revealed in Playboy. "Of course, come Monday I would be tallying up all the different situations, and each one was progressively more dangerous. I got lucky in that I didn’t go to jail."
Since then, he has been vocal about his addictions, his recovery, and how much his life has changed since becoming sober:
Here's to Dax, Kristen, and a lifetime of health and happiness.
