Ryan Lochte<\/a><\/span><\/strong> is coming clean about his journey with sobriety.<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to share some positive updates in my life and what\u2019s going on,\u201d Lochte, 41, shared via Instagram<\/span><\/a> on Friday, August 29. \u201cI\u2019m so happy right now, and the big reason is that I\u2019m 54 days sober. Yes!\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Olympian<\/span><\/a>, a severe car accident in 2023 left him in a \u201creally dark place\u201d where he experienced \u201cdepression, loneliness and feeling like I was giving up in life.\u201d<\/p>\n

As a result, Lochte said it \u201cled me down a road of substance abuse. With everything going on in my life, I needed to make a change.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI checked myself into a Florida recovery center,\u201d Lochte continued. \u201cThe staff has been incredible. They helped me realize substance abuse isn\u2019t a solution. It\u2019s just a distraction that makes things worse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now, the gold medalist is feeling \u201cso much better\u201d and \u201cthinking clearly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m motivated and I\u2019m moving forward,\u201d he said. \u201cI wanted to share this with you guys, especially my fans, because you guys are so important to me. In life, you\u2019re going to get knocked down or hit a roadblock. \u2026 It\u2019s not how you get knocked out. It\u2019s how you get back up.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June, Lochte faced another major life change when his wife, Kayla Rae Reid<\/strong>, filed for divorce<\/a> after seven years of marriage. The couple shares three children: Caiden, 8, Liv, 5, and Georgia, 2.<\/p>\n

One month after the split was announced, Lochte went Instagram official<\/span><\/a> with his new girlfriend, Molly Gilliha<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want people to understand that Molly didn\u2019t take me away from my ex-wife,\u201d Lochte told the Daily Mail<\/span><\/a> on July 7. \u201cShe didn\u2019t take me away from my kids. We got a divorce and I left. I moved down the street because I wanted to be in my kids\u2019 lives and I will always be in my kids\u2019 lives.\u201d<\/p>\n

As Lochte moves forward with his divorce, things appear to be stronger than ever with Gilliha.<\/p>\n

\u201cHappiness looks good on me,\u201d he wrote via Instagram<\/span><\/a> on Thursday, August 28, while posing with his girlfriend. \u201cCan\u2019t hear the outside noise \ud83d\ude09 All smiles with you even thru obstacles thrown at us. \u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f\u2764\ufe0f @mollygilli #springfield #peaceful.\u201d<\/p>\n
