Dean McDermott<\/a>‘s celebrating a huge milestone in his sobriety journey … revealing to fans he’s been clean and sober for three years — and encouraging others stuck in addiction to seek help.<\/p>\n

The actor shared a video on Instagram on Friday … calling himself “Clean Dean” and saying he’s in such a great mood because he’s celebrating his third anniversary.<\/p>\n

Dean says he’s sharing because he wants other people to know it is possible to get clean … adding, “Hell has an exit.”<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

If Dean can do it, then so can normal people out there, he says … but they need to reach out their hands and ask for help if they want to get clean.<\/p>\n

Dean captioned his video, “WOW we wee WOW!! 3 years!! Couldn\u2019t have done it without my Family, Friends, Fellowship, Sponsor and a 12 step program!! It all started with surrendering and asking for help. The best decision I\u2019ve ever made. If you\u2019re struggling, reach out. I love you all.”<\/p>\n

As you know … Dean dealt with substance abuse issues for years — even entering rehab<\/a> in 2014 — but really dove into his recovery in 2023 around the time he and Tori Spelling<\/a> had split<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He later told stories about how alcohol-fueled rages scared Tori and their kids a ton … though, in this new video, he talks about how he’s busy building back his relationship with his children.<\/p>\n

The former couple recently reunited<\/a> for their daughter Stella’s\u00a0high school graduation, too … so, it seems they’re also trying to keep things civil — no doubt helped on by Dean’s sobriety.<\/p>\n
