Emmerdale actor Danny Miller has celebrated one year of sobriety, sharing an emotional video on Instagram to mark the milestone. The 35-year-old, who plays Aaron Dingle on the ITV soap, said he never believed the achievement was possible.
In the clip, Miller explained that he decided to give up alcohol to improve his life for his family, particularly his children and wife Steph. He acknowledged he had 'a bit of an issue' with drinking and had 'fallen down a rabbit hole', but clarified he does not identify as an alcoholic.
'I wanted them to get the best version of me,' he said, adding that he used to check for a bar at every family outing. 'It was beyond control, now I've changed my ways.'
Miller stressed he was not seeking attention or praise but hoped to inspire others. 'If I can do it, then you can do it,' he said. 'My career, my family life, everything has just got better since.'
His castmates were quick to show support, including Lucy Pargeter, who plays his on-screen mother Chas Dingle, and Isabel Hodgins, who plays sister-in-law Victoria Sugden. Former co-stars Gemma Atkinson and Jurell Carter also congratulated him.
Miller's video comes as he vows to continue his reinvention, focusing on being the best version of himself for those around him.
