Natasha Lyonne provided fans with a rare update on her sobriety journey just two months after confirming her relapse.
'Proud to report this kid is doing a whole lot better & back on her feet,' the 46-year-old actress posted to X on Thursday.
Lyonne, who first publicly spoke about her relapse in January, said she wanted 'to thank our recovery communities & the fans who stood by & were so supportive.'
The Poker Face actress said she was 'aiming to keep the journey somehow private, but look forward to sharing my experience, strength & hope as makes sense.'
She concluded her message in saying, 'My heart is with everyone ever going through it.'
The American Pie star took to social media January 23, writing, 'Took my relapse public more to come.'

The star, who's also been seen on Russian Doll and Orange Is the New Black, said in a subsequent post that 'recovery is a lifelong process,' adding that 'anyone out there struggling, remember you’re not alone.'
Lyonne continued: 'Grateful for love & smart feet. Gonna do it for baby Bambo. Stay honest, folks. Sick as our secrets. If no one told ya today, I love you.
'No matter how far down the scales we have gone, we will see how our experience may help another.'
The star wrapped up with a word of encouragement for her followers: 'Keep going, kiddos. Don’t quit before the miracle. Wallpaper your mind with love. Rest is all noise & baloney.'
When a fan commended Lyonne for her candor, she replied, 'We need better systems and to end shame - bill the sacklers & stilettos or something but don’t @ me for getting honest.'
A number of Lyonne's followers on Thursday chimed in with supportive sentiments for the star as she continues her recovery.
'Blessings to you, Natasha,' one user said. 'Your sobriety is for you first and foremost (of course), but it also blesses all who know and love you.'
Another person wrote, 'I'm rooting for you. I have a beloved who relapsed at New Year's after 11 yrs. I don't love them any less.

'We use the tools, rebuild and do the next right thing. May you find every blessing along your journey - keep going!!'
A user encouraged Lyonne, 'Anyone can have minor setbacks - in recovery & others aspects of life - we’re all human.
'Thank you for the courage & generosity of sharing private info to support others.'
Speaking with Entertainment Weekly in 2012, Lyonne conceded her sobriety was a topic that she found 'weird to talk about.'
Lyonne said she 'was definitely as good as dead' amid her past battles with addiction, noting that 'a lot of people don’t come back' from where she was at.
She added, 'That makes me feel wary, and self-conscious. I wouldn’t want to feel prideful about it.
'People really rallied around me and pulled me up by my f***ing bootstraps.'
