"Mighty Ducks" star Shaun Weiss has reached two years of sobriety. The former actor was recognized for the milestone on Jan.

25 by his friend Drew Gallagher, who has shared updates on the star's addiction battle and recovery with fans online over the last couple of years. "What a triumph!

Congrats @shaunweiss on 2 years sober!!! So proud of you brotha--look at you now," Gallagher wrote on Facebook this week, along with a side-by-side comparison of the child star from a few years ago to present day.

Gallagher also provided some updates on Weiss to Fox News this week. Weiss is in need of hip surgery, Gallagher said. While it's a slight setback for the 43-year-old's return to comedy, Gallagher noted he's looking forward to receiving his final new set of teeth, which will help him "feel much better to be on camera and just in general." Shaun Weiss's friend shared a transformation photo of the actor before and after his recovery. (Courtesy: Drew Gallagher) Weiss is working on some merchandise, per Gallagher, while he "works on his stand-up comedy and keeps focusing on getting back in the game." The "Mighty Ducks" actor expressed interest in co-writing a book and hopes to "use it as a platform" to help others battling addiction.
