Courtney Stodden revealed on Instagram that she's made the decision to be sober after years of drinking.
Courtney, 25, opted to make the lifestyle change after celebrating her 25th birthday.
"The birthday gift I'm giving to myself is going alcohol-free. I've been drinking alcohol since I was 16. And mind you I didn't drink everyday, but I drank every other day," she explained in an IGTV video.
The Internet sensation went on to detail how it became such a pattern.

She continued, "I could kick back two bottles of wine, easy, and that just became normal. I grew up in an environment where alcohol was okay ... when I got married so young, Doug and I would indulge and we'd drink quite a bit."
Courtney famously married actor Doug Hutchison, then 51, when she was just 16. She filed for divorce in March 2018.
"I'm going through a transformation, I hit my mid 20s, and the other day I got really sick from drinking three martinis. Something hit me ... maybe I need to look at this situation with alcohol," she divulged.
Although she's ditching booze, she openly admitted she will still smoke marijuana. "I do smoke weed. It gets such a bad rap from people who I feel just don't understand the medicinal purposes. I don't think it's the same as alcohol," she said.
