Matt Brown, the former cast member of Alaskan Bush People, has been away to work on himself. His latest post proved that effort is working, as he just marked a serious sobriety milestone. He snapped a picture of his sobriety token, revealing he has remained clean for 14 months.
Along with his note, he made sure to pass some encouragement on to any of his followers going through a battle with addiction, as well. He pushed them to “never give up” and “never surrender.”
