ULRIKA Jonsson has marked one year since going sober after making an emotional confession about quitting booze.
The 57-year-old previously told how she would "black out and not recall the night" while drinking.
Now TV presenter Ulrika has been sober for a year and took to Instagram to share before and after photos.
One was captioned "sober" while the other was marked "drunk".
Ulrika continued: "Today I'm marking 1yr of sobriety.
"No fanfare, no medal, no trophy. The journey goes on.
"A huge thanks to all those beautiful people who have supported me; understood me; scooped me up and handled me tenderly and without judgement.
"Who nudged me in the right direction; who made me laugh and helped me shed the crippling shame."
Ulrika added: "My sobriety will continue to be my priority.
"Turns out it IS possible to teach old dogs new trick."
Last year Ulrika confessed she made the decision to quit booze after a frank conversation with a friend.
She said: "One Saturday morning my best friend, who I love and cherish, called me and basically told me we had spoken the night before and she hadn't understood a word I had said.
"She told me I needed help. I knew it came from a place of love.
"The sense of shame would have been enough to make me want a drink. But not on that occasion.
"Instead, I sobbed like a child who desperately needed someone to hold her. I was full of despair."
