AceShowbiz - Actress Kristen Bell has saluted her husband, Dax Shepard, on the 14th anniversary of his sobriety start.

The "Frozen" star gushed about the actor/director in an emotional Instagram post on Saturday, August 01, admitting she know how difficult it has been for the 43 year old to stay clean.

"To the man (who) mocked me when in our wedding photos because I cried too many tears of joy (sic)," she wrote. "Who wore a baby Bjorn for 2 straight years to show his girls how to be as adventurous as possible, Who held our dear little shakey mann pup for 8 hrs straight on the day we had to put him down, I know how much you loved using. I know how much it got in your way. And I know, because I saw, how hard you worked to live without it.

"I will forever be in awe of your dedication, and the level of fierce moral inventory you perform on yourself, like an emotional surgery, every single night. I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and I want you to know, I see you. I see how hard you work.

"You're hard work benefits all of us, and you set an excellent example of how to be human. Happy 14th year sobriety birthday."

I will forever be in awe of your dedication, and the level of fierce moral inventory you perform on yourself, like an emotional surgery, every single night. You never fail to make amends, or say sorry when its needed. You are always available to guide me, and all of our friends, with open ears and tough love when its needed most. You have become the fertilizer in the garden of our life, encouraging everyone to grow. I'm so proud that you have never been ashamed of your story, but instead shared it widely, with the hope it might inspire someone else to become the best version of themselves. You have certainly inspired me to do so. I love you more than I ever thought I could love anyone, and I want you to know, I see you. I see how hard you work. You set an excellent example of being human. Happy 14th year sobriety birthday, @daxshepard. Xoxo
