Paris Jackson is doing some reflecting as she marks a major milestone and accomplishment.
On January 7, the "hit your knees" singer revealed that she was officially five years sober, from both alcohol and heroin.
The newly-engaged 26-year-old is the first and only daughter of late King of Pop Michael Jackson, who was also a father to sons Prince, 27, and Bigi, formerly known as Blanket, who is 22.
Paris took to Instagram and paid tribute to her poignant anniversary, first posting an emotional video montage of various clips of her life before sobriety that captured her drinking and smoking, before cutting to photos of her accumulated sobriety chips, and finally more recent, positive videos.
"Hi, I'm pk and I'm an alcoholic and a heroin addict," she first wrote in her caption, before adding: "Today marks five years clean & sober from all drugs and alcohol."
She continued: "To say that I'm thankful would be a poor euphemism. Gratitude hardly scratches the surface."

I get to grieve. I get to laugh. I get to dance. I get to trust. I feel the sun on my skin and it's warm," Paris further reflected.
