Amanda Bynes<\/a><\/strong> has been sober for 14 months.<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old actress announced the major milestone via Instagram on Sunday. <\/p>\n

“Celebrating being sober a year and two months!” the She’s the Man<\/em> star wrote on the social network.<\/p>\n

Bynes has discussed her sobriety battle<\/a> before, including during a 2018 interview with Paper <\/em>Magazine<\/a>. The What a Girl Wants<\/em> celeb said she started smoking marijuana when she was 16 years old.<\/p>\n

“Later on it progressed to doing molly and ecstasy,” she told the publication. “[I tried] cocaine three times but I never got high from cocaine. I never liked it. It was never my drug of choice.”<\/p>\n

She also told the magazine she “definitely abused Adderall” and claimed it impacted her behavior while working on Hall Pass<\/em>\u2014 noting it was “the mixture of being so high that I couldn’t remember my lines and not liking my appearance” that led her to walk away from the project.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Similarly, Bynes said she “couldn’t stand” her appearance in the 2010 hit Easy A<\/em> and was “convinced” she should stop acting after attending the screening, leading her to announce her retirement from acting via Twitter.<\/p>\n

“I was high on marijuana when I saw that but for some reason it really started to affect me,” she told the outlet about the screening. “I don’t know if it was a drug-induced psychosis or what, but it affected my brain in a different way than it affects other people. It absolutely changed my perception of things.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

After announcing her retirement, Bynes felt like she had “no purpose in life.”<\/p>\n

“I had a lot of time on my hands and I would ‘wake and bake’ and literally be stoned all day long,” she recalled to Paper <\/em>Magazine.<\/p>\n

She also said she started “hanging out with a seedier crowd.” <\/p>\n

“I got really into my drug usage and it became a really dark, sad world for me,” she continued. <\/p>\n

Bynes entered a sober living facility<\/a> in 2019 and moved out<\/a> later that year. She continues to focus on her sobriety with her fianc\u00e9<\/a> Paul Michael<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

“Now I’ve remained sober for over a year\u2014same with Paul,” she told her followers in February after introducing her new man and apologizing for calling people “ugly” in the past. “I just want to let you know, I love you guys and I’m so happy now. I feel like I got what’s mine\u2014and that is Paul.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
