Sobriety looks good onGina Kirschenheiter.
On Dec. 29, theReal Housewives of Orange Countystar, 40, posted a video on Instagram reflecting on her 2024 in honor of the new year. Ahead of celebrating the anniversary of her sobriety, she also showed off her physical transformation over the years.
“January marks three years for me not drinking,” she wrote. “People are always asking what I did to look so good. I don’t talk about it much but as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words. Here’s something for anyone who’s ‘sober curious.’ 2025 seems like a great time to effect positive change❤️”
In the clip, Kirschenheiter highlights numerous photos of herself from before and after she stopped drinking. “If you’re thinking about it…do it…#itsamazingon this side ❤️#3yearsstrong#clear#sobriety#alcoholfreelife#2025” she added in the caption.

Back in April 2023, Kirschenheiter opened up to PEOPLE about living alcohol-free and making the decision to step away from drinking.
“I can’t begin to describe how much it’s changed me,” she admitted. “Drinking was a big part of my life and to eliminate it was a huge shift for me personally. But it’s had this trickle-down, ripple effect where I’ve just seen so many things shift for the better. And I couldn’t be happier.”
“I haven’t talked about it with anyone really,” she said at the time. “People keep saying to me on Instagram, ‘You’ve lost weight,are you on Ozempic?’ And I want to be like, ‘No, I just stopped drinking!’ So I’m excited to finally get my story out now.”
Kirschenheiter was inspired to make the change after noticing she was starting to become dependent on alcohol in a way she hadn’t been before.
