Jamie Lee Curtis has reached a massive milestone in her life and she just can't help but share her excitement with fans.

Taking to Instagram yesterday (February 3), the 65-year-old dedicated a post to reaching 25 years sober after battling an opioid addiction until the late 90's.

Since then, the star has been on a straight path to recovery and she - and her fans - couldn't be more proud.

"25 years clean and sober. One day at a time. 9,125 of them," she wrote in the caption of the post alongside a black-and-white photograph of the star holding a celebratory ring. "What's inside, as my old friend Adam sang, is a sense of calm, serenity, purpose, and the greatest feeling that I am not alone. That many others share the same disease and solution."

"For all those struggling with addiction and shame, there are others out here who care. My hand in yours. Our hands in yours," Curtis added before signing off.

Of course, hundreds of fans took to the comments to express their love for the star and congratulate her for reaching such a massive milestone.

"Thank you for sharing your experiences, strength & hope! You inspire many including this fellow alcoholic #onedayatatime," wrote one user while another added: "Congratulations Jamie. As someone who became sober himself, I know it can be hard at times resisting the urge to take a drink now and then. Keep it up Jamie."

A third also commented: "Congrats from another sober sister."

The post comes a year after the Freaky Friday actress celebrated 24 years sober with another heartfelt message.

"There are so many people who are in the prison of addiction," she wrote at the time. "Through recovery rooms all over the world. I've been able to find myself again. Safe. Satisfied. Strong. Steady."

She continued: "For anyone struggling today in that prison I woke up today sober as an example that it is possible and that there is help for you and hands reaching out to offer you a step up into the light! My sister was one hand. My old colleague was another.

"The community of people in recovery have been amazing," she concluded.

The Fish Called Wanda star previously opened up about her battle with addiction during an interview with PEOPLE back in 2018.

"I was ahead of the curve of the opiate epidemic," she revealed to the outlet. "I had a 10-year run, stealing, conniving. No one knew. No one."

She also expressed her sobriety is her "greatest accomplishment."

"My sobriety has been the key to freedom, the freedom to be me, to not be looking in the mirror in the reflection and trying to see somebody else," said the actress. "I look in the mirror. I see myself. I accept myself. And I move on because you know what? The world is filled with things we need to do."

"I’m breaking the cycle that has basically destroyed the lives of generations in my family," she added.

Congratulations to Jamie Lee Curtis, what an amazing achievement.
