Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA icon Michael Jordan, is celebrating six months of sobriety following a difficult number of years with substance abuse.
Marcus, 34, posted a gallery of images to his Instagram account - showing off some photos of his life in recent months.
That includes fishing trips and visits to NASCAR tracks with his father - the six-time NBA champion, popping champagne, seeing rapper Lil Wayne perform live, and more.
'6 Months Sober & Still The Life of The Party,' Marcus captioned the post.
Marcus, who played basketball at the University of Central Florida, received plenty of love in the comments under his post - including from the likes of Olympian Michael Phelps and comedian Jaleel White.
It's been a rocky road for the former college basketball star, who was charged with possession and DUI earlier this year.
Marcus Jordan, the son of NBA icon Michael Jordan, is celebrating six months of sobriety from drugs after reaching an agreement to end a DUI case he has been facing since February

Marcus was arrested for DUI and cocaine possession back in February after he drunkenly got his Lamborghini Urus struck on a train track in Florida.
The Maitland police department said officers noticed Marcus' headlights on a railroad. When they approached the luxury SUV, they noticed bumper damage and kicked-up rocks, which suggested Marcus had been trying to flee but could not.
Police suspected Marcus had just fled a nearby traffic stop, though Marcus allegedly claimed he had taken a wrong turn and needed help getting his car off the tracks.
Officers noted a strong smell of alcohol, slurred speech and bloodshot eyes.
Marcus allegedly admitted to having been at a gentleman's club and drinking alcohol before his arrest. But he reportedly insisted his BAC was lower than the legal limit of 0.8.
However, police said he failed three sobriety tests before he was placed under arrest.
Officers wrote in their report they found a white powdery substance in Marcus' pocket that tested positive for cocaine.
Marcus was combative as officers tried to put him in their squad car, per the police report, but 'was singing the entire way' to the jail.
Jordan must write an apology letter to one of the police officers he rebuked during the arrest
Marcus was previously in a relationship with reality star Larsa Pippen, 51
Last month, Marcus reportedly reached an agreement with prosecutors to close his DUI case.
As part of the agreement, Jordan must write a 250-word groveling apology letter to one of the police officers who arrested him.
According to TMZ, Jordan must also meet a series of other requirements over the next 12 months if prosecutors are to drop all charges.
The 34-year-old must also submit to random drug testing, make a $1,000 donation, get an interlock device fitted to his car and undergo 50 hours of community service.
He reportedly became estranged from his father amid his own long-term romantic relationship with Larsa Pippen, the ex-wife of Michael's legendary Bulls teammate, Scottie Pippen.
Larsa is said to have dumped Jordan early last year after his wayward behavior became too much for her to handle.
She opened up about the breakup in an interview last year where she gave a diplomatic explanation as to why she decided to close the door on the relationship.
Speaking on the Amy & TJ podcast on iheartRadio in March, Pippen said she realized Marcus wasn't her 'guy' after she spent time away from him, giving her clarity on their relationship.
The former couple started dating back in 2022 and made headlines for both their 17-year age gap and because of their Chicago Bulls connection.
