Gordon Ramsay's daughter Holly Ramsay is celebrating two years of sobriety.
The 22-year-old discussed the significance of the day in an Instagram post that has since received more than 23,000 likes.
"Today marks two years since I last had alcohol," Ramsay wrote on Wednesday. "Two years ago today I hit rock bottom, I was terrified. I certainly didn't think I would be where I am today both physically and mentally. I've fought every day since to get where I am today."
Ramsay said she was "so grateful to so many people for their support, encouragement, and endless love."
"I will continue to learn and grow every day," she added. "I feel lucky to be able to use my voice to raise awareness and break the stigma around mental health. Sending love to anyone who needs it today and always. One day at a time."
Ramsay first shared last year that she had stopped drinking for her mental health.
"This time last year I was at my lowest and I was scared but I made a decision to take control of what I could — and that meant removing alcohol from my life," Ramsay wrote in an Instagram post on December 21, 2021. "Living without alcohol has helped me feel better and more present both mentally and physically."
"It can be lonely not drinking, especially at this age as it's such a big part of our social lives," she added. "But you will find the right people who don't even care that you're not drinking and are just happy you're with them."
Ramsay's father shared his support in the comments of her 2021 post, writing: "What an incredible young lady and words can't explain enough how proud you make me feel, love you so much."
Ramsay has been candid about the depression she experienced after she was sexually assaulted twice when she was 18 years old. In a May 2021 episode of her mental-health podcast "21 & Over," Ramsay said she left college and was admitted to a psychiatric hospital for three months following the assaults.
"I was diagnosed with PTSD, anxiety, and depression, and since then I have been in therapy up to three times a week," she added.
In October 2021, Gordon Ramsay told the Daily Mail that his daughter "had a very difficult time" following the assaults.
"Now she is in an amazing position," he added. "And she has dealt with those issues."
The "MasterChef" star said the pandemic also helped him be there for his daughter during such a hard time in her life.
"The pandemic, from a dad's point of view, was perfect timing because we got to spend quality time together and we got to understand what she's gone through," he said. "She's absolutely fine now, there was a healing process."
