Tori Spelling's estranged husband Dean McDermott is celebrating a year since he got sober. The 57-year-old actor - who split from Tori last summer after 18 years together - has revealed he got clean exactly 12 months ago after spending time in a drug and alcohol treatment centre which he has credited with saving his life. In a post on Instagram, Dean wrote: "Last week was an incredible week of love, hugs and recovery.
Thank you to my Sponsor, my Sponsee Brothers and everyone in the fellowship for celebrating my 1 year birthday. "A special thanks to [treatment centre] @_harmonyplace J,D and H for saving my life. If you’re struggling with addiction, just surrender and ask for help.

Just reach out your hand. #recovery #change." Since kicking his addiction issues, Dean has gone on to train as a drug and alcohol counsellor.
Prior to sharing his anniversary update, Dean shared a candid post on Instagram revealing his issues were rooted in a lack of self-love - and learning to forgive himself was a huge part of his recovery process. He explained: "This was a game changer in my recovery. I didn’t give self love the time of day.
I thought it was granola spiritual BS. I thought I was a piece of SH@T and would always be one. "Was I ever wrong.
For those of you out there suffering, give yourself a break.
