Lala Kent is celebrating another milestone in her sober journey.

The Vanderpump Rules star, 31, marked three years of sobriety on Friday, posting a photo of herself putting on a plastic crown.

"Today marks 3 years of sobriety. I can't believe it," Kent began in the caption.

"I'm beyond grateful for this path that God & my late father placed in front of me. I'm grateful for my sober coach & my sponsor who I consider angels," she continued. "I'm grateful for the program & the men and women who have shared their stories so honestly, giving me hope and inspiration to continue to never pick up a drink again.

"It is one day at a time, but I will say, I have never felt so strong in my sobriety. It's the proudest thing I have ever done, aside from becoming a mother. My first priority is always my sobriety. It comes before everything- because without it, I am of no use. I love you all so much. I hope you know that. #happybirthdaytome," Kent concluded.

Kent opened up about her past struggles with alcohol during an appearance on PEOPLE Now in December 2018, sharing at the time that she had been 50 days sober and was "taking a different turn" with her life.

"I felt like, during the day, it was like, 'How am I so down to drink right now?' And after my dad passed away, we had lots of drinking. It's crazy, because I have been open about suffering from anxiety, and not saying that I don't anymore, but it has gone down tremendously since I gave up drinking. And I don't smoke weed anymore, I'm a clean baby." Kent explained. "I'm just ready to be a healthy person."

The Give Them Lala author's sobriety milestone comes amid rumors that she and fiancé Randall Emmett have called off their engagement after three years. Earlier this month, Kent was spotted without her engagement ring after all traces of Emmett, 50, disappeared from her Instagram page.

The Bravo personality and Emmett welcomed their first child, 7-month-old daughter Ocean, back in March.
