Jake Owen is working on a major lifestyle shift: sobriety from alcohol.
He shared the revelation on Instagram, posting a picture of his day counter of being sober. Owen explains it was time to share his story with fans — and hopefully provide support to anyone out there who might want to make a change in their own drinking habits.
"I embarrassed myself after drinking too much alcohol one night. It wasn't the first time, either," Owen wrote. "The next day, I told myself, 'Never again.' I am better than that, and the people I love the most deserve better. My family, my little girls and my friends."
With the better part of a year of sobriety now under his belt, Owen says he's proud of how far he's come, and he hopes his experience can help other people in his situation.
"Just wanted to share my journey in case anyone woke up this morning and wants to make a change," he continues. "None of us aren't perfect...I'm just trying to be the best version of myself these days."
