Longtime Hallmark Channel actress and director Ali Liebert celebrated her 18th year of sober living on July 15, 2025, posting from the set of her latest film.
Over a photo of her surrounded by vegetation and adorably pretending to embrace a giant plant, she wrote, “18 years sober today … Incredibly grateful for it all.” She then shared a video from a lush farm with wind chimes and wrote, “On location.”
This is not the first time Liebert has shared her sober journey. Liebert, 43, whose first of many Hallmark movies was 2012’s “Love at the Thanksgiving Parade,” per IMDb, posted in 2024 about her how grateful she was.

On the same date in 2024, Liebert also celebrated her milestone — marking 17 years of sobriety — from with photos from the beach and wrote, “Took a dip in the ocean last night and as the sun was setting, felt overwhelming grateful for all of the beautiful people and experiences in my life.”
She continued, “A couple was getting married on the beach and we all cheered and clapped. A group of friends screamed and laughed pushing each other further into the chilly water. A man and his dog took many, many sunset selfies. Ah life. It’s the little moments.”
Liebert, who directed 2025’s hit movie “Love of the Irish,” ended her post by writing, “Celebrating 17 years clean & sober today. What a miracle. What a gift.”
She heard from many of her Hallmark colleagues, including “Holiday Road” star Sara Canning, who wrote, “You’re the best. ? ✨❤️” and her “Three Wise Men and a Baby” co-star Kimberley Sustad, who typed in two sparkle emoji.
Ali Liebert Has Also Encouraged Others to Seek Help & Support
Over the years, Liebert has also offered support to others facing their own sobriety journeys. When she marked her milestone in a July 2023 post, she wrote, “Sober 15 years today ~ one day at time 🤍 it’s an astonishing number! I remember when the thought of 1 month clean was unfathomable to me. If you are struggling with drugs & alcohol…please reach out – a helpline, a friend, anyone who can help point u in the right direction. You don’t have to do it alone. Actually it really sucks to do it alone ❤️❤️❤️”
In 2021, the “Every Time a Bell Rings” star opened up for one of the first times, sharing, “I don’t talk about my sobriety very much on the gram… but over here in NZ…it’s my sober birthday so damn it guys I’m going to celebrate with a fancy giant coffee ☕️ & a prayer for the alcoholic who is still suffering and the sweet souls we have lost to this disease.”
She continued, “Incredibly grateful to walk this sober life 💛💛💛 it’s not always easy…but one day a time – we can do anything. Please, please reach out if you are suffering. You don’t have to do this alone – actually it really sucks doing it alone. ❤️”
