‘If you’re sober curious, you won’t regret it,’ she encouraged, ‘It’s never too late. One day at a time — that’s all we have.’<\/p>\n

Friends and followers took to the comments, full of praise for the Tipperary woman.<\/p>\n

Podcaster Mark Mehigan<\/a>, who has been vocal about his own sober journey, wrote: ‘Legend, Una. You deserve every bit of freedom it brings. Keep doing. One day at a time.’<\/p>\n

Another added: ‘Your best decision by far.’<\/p>\n

A third person shared: ‘Well done, I’m seven years sober and I couldn’t be happier.’<\/p>\n

Last month, Una revealed her sober journey<\/a> as she celebrated ‘five months off the boozer.’<\/p>\n

The singer celebrated the milestone with an ice-cream cone, later following up to detail the huge response her news garnered. <\/p>\n

Taking to social media<\/a> at the time, Una said: ‘Those of you who know me know I’ve quit [alcohol], but I just said I’d put it out there because it’s just easier when you’re asked like: “What are you having to drink?”‘<\/p>\n

She admitted that it can sometimes ‘feel like you’re missing out’ but reasoned that she doesn’t miss hangovers or ‘feeling sh*te’ after a night out. <\/p>\n
