“90 days strong and sober. I loved getting my chip. This has been the hardest journey of my entire life. I have faced demons and fears and insecurities without my old friend and companion alcohol to dull away the pain,” she wrote.

She continued:

“Nothing easy about it. Some days I really feel like everything sucks, but then a Real Housewives fan will come into the restaurant where I work, The Wye Oak Tavern in Frederick, and ask to do a selfie (I always say yes and love it guys). And they will tell me how proud they are of me. And it feels so good. Thanks for all of the faith, the journey and the unconditional love”

Katie Rost’s rehabilitation started in Baltimore's Mountain Manor Treatment Center in October 2022, as per People. The 28-day rehabilitation program focused on addressing her alcohol consumption and managing her prescribed Adderall medication, which she had used since age 12.
