Kristen Bell posts emotional tribute to Dax Shepard on a special anniversary

 

They're known as being one of the most real and down-to-earth couples in Celeb Land.

 

And Kristen Bell, with her latest Instagram post, has just proven why we all love her so much.

 

To mark fourteen years of her husband Dax Shepard being sober, Kristen took to the social media platform to show her support.

 

She shared photos of herself and Dax, as well as him with their two children, Delta and Lincoln, throughout the years. 

 

 

To the man mocked me when in our wedding photos because I cried too many tears of joy, Who wore a baby Bjorn for 2 straight years to show his girls how to be as adventurous as possible, Who held our dear little shakey mann pup for 8 hrs straight on the day we had to put him down, I know how much you loved using. I know how much it got in your way. And I know, because I saw, how hard you worked to live without it. I will forever be in awe of your dedication, and the level of fierce moral inventory you perform on yourself, like an emotional surgery, every single night. You never fail to make amends, or say sorry when its needed. You are always available to guide me, and all of our friends, with open ears and tough love when its needed most. You have become the fertilizer in the garden of our life, encouraging everyone to grow. I'm so proud that you have never been ashamed of your story, but instead shared it widely, with the hope it might inspire someone else to become the best version of themselves. You have certainly inspired me to do so. I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and I want you to know, I see you. I see how hard you work. You set an excellent example of being human. Happy 14th year sobriety birthday, @daxshepard. Xoxo

Dax has spoken of how his addictions led him to getting messed up back in the day. 

 

In an interview he did several years ago, he is quoted as saying that, ''from 18 to 29 I was a heavy smoker, heavy drinker, drug addict, terrible eater and philanderer. I was famous for going out on Thursday night to have a couple of beers, and that just led all the way to Saturday night.''

 

Kristen finishes up the poignant post with the heartfelt words of, ''I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and I want you to know, I see you. I see how hard you work. You set an excellent example of being human.''

 

What a wonderfully supportive couple - congratulations on fourteen years of sobriety Dax!
