After an immensely difficult year, Rob Delaney<\/strong> is expressing his gratitude.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On Monday, the comedian shared a message to fans on social media in commemoration of his 17th anniversary of sobriety. The milestone comes on the heels of what he called a “brutal year” for him and his family.<\/p>\n

“As of today I’ve been sober 17 years. 17 years ago I was in jail in a wheelchair. Today I’m not,” he began. “I am profoundly grateful to the alcoholics who shined a light on the path for me and helped equip me with the skills to live life well.”<\/p>\n

As he continued, the 42-year-old star reflected on the death of his 2-year-old son<\/a>,\u00a0Henry<\/strong>, who passed away in January 2018 following a brain tumor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This has been a brutal year for my family and me. Our first year without our son and brother Henry. Had I not been sober it would have been far worse,” the star acknowledged. “As it was, I squeaked by.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

As he concluded his message, Delaney highlighted the benefits of sobriety and thanked his supporters for helping him get to this point.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Sobriety allowed me to be a reasonably good dad, husband and worker though [sic] it all. (If you average it out. I think.),” the actor wrote.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Sobriety allows me to grieve fully, and grief is an expression of love. Thank you to everyone who has helped me. I can’t do it alone.”<\/p>\n

However, 2018 was not without some joy for the star, who welcomed a son<\/a> with wife Leah<\/strong> in August.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
