The former soap star went on to add a lengthy caption, where she addressed her past battles with addiction. Part of it read: "Today I shared a little of my world and my heart with you all. Family is true love, family is where life starts and ends.
"The same way our addictions took time to manifest and take over us, it also takes time to heal. But with determination, strength, hope, self love and repetition to get our life back and patience and understanding that others need time to process our wrongs and heal themselves also."
She continued: "Time wasted is gone, time healing is a blessing & time to reflect and appreciate others needs and ours is a lesson we all need to learn and put into action. The time spent moving on, making memories and being present and experiencing life going forward is the best time of them all.
"So please if you are struggling today take a minute breathe and stay strong because I can promise you all one thing... And that is It really is worth it, dig deep and remember you are loved."
Fans rushed to offer their support. Jennie Dennis said: "All power to you and yours. x", while Corinne England said: "I nearly cried reading this, you are so brave and help others see there is a way forward"
Raena Massey said: "You’ve done so well to conquer your demons… wishing you all the happiness".
