Kristen Bell is paying tribute to husband Dax Shepard as he celebrates a big milestone: 14 years of sobriety.

In a sweet Instagram post, the star of “The Good Place” shares a series of photos from their life together, including one from their 2007 wedding in which Shepard pretend-cries next to his weeping bride.

“To the man mocked me when in our wedding photos because I cried too many tears of joy,” 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.”

She continues: “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 nigh. 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, @daxshepard. Xoxo.”

In a 2016 interview with CBS Sunday Morning, Bell opened up about Shepard’s past struggles with addiction.

“He knows the value of things. He was an addict for many, many years and he pulled himself out of it, and he’s been sober for 11, 12 years now,” she said. “And he knows how many times he’s messed up and how many times he’s been really close to losing everything.”

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
