Cheryl Burke, the renowned Dancing with the Stars professional, is celebrating a significant milestone—seven years of sobriety. The dancer and TV personality recently opened up about her journey, revealing how alcohol no longer served her life.
"Alcohol wasn't serving me," Burke candidly shared. "I realised I needed to make a change for my mental and physical well-being."
A Turning Point
Burke, who has been open about her struggles with addiction, described the moment she decided to quit drinking as a turning point in her life. "It wasn't easy, but it was necessary," she admitted.
The 39-year-old has since become an advocate for sobriety, using her platform to inspire others facing similar challenges. "Recovery is a continuous journey," she said. "Every day is a new opportunity to stay committed."
The Power of Support
Burke credits her support system—friends, family, and professional help—for keeping her on track. "Having people who understand and encourage you makes all the difference," she explained.
She also emphasised the importance of self-reflection and therapy in maintaining her sobriety. "Understanding the root of my addiction was key to overcoming it," she added.
Looking Ahead
As she celebrates this milestone, Burke remains focused on her career and personal growth. "Sobriety has given me clarity and purpose," she said. "I'm excited for what the future holds."
Her story serves as a powerful reminder that recovery is possible, and that seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness.
