In the photo, Bertinelli is seen standing in front of her garden, basking in the sunlight. Wearing a pair of circular-framed glasses and a gentle smile, she captioned the picture, "Six months. No alcohol," while also tagging the Reframe App, a helpful application she has been using to reduce her alcohol consumption.

Fans were quick to flood the comments section with words of encouragement and shared their own experiences with sobriety.
