AEW star Dustin Rhodes -- formerly known as Goldust in the WWE -- is celebrating 15 years of sobriety ... saying he's thankful he turned his life around and in a much better place now.
"Today is a day that I am most proud of," Dustin tweeted. "Today is 15 yrs clean and sober from drugs and alcohol."
Understandably, Rhodes -- who previously opened up about his struggles with cocaine, pills and alcohol in his book, "Cross Roads: Goldust, Out of The Darkness." -- says the road to recovery was far from easy ... but the programs set in place allowed him to reach the incredible milestone.
