Chrissy Teigen got honest about her evolving relationship with alcohol in a vulnerable post.
The 39-year-old model took to her Instagram account to share a teaser of the latest episode of her Podacast, Self-Conscious, in which she opened up about her sobriety journey.
“Holly Whitaker changed my life, changed my perspective and changed how I view the f****** beast that is alcohol,” Teigen wrote referring to Holly Whitaker’s biik Quit Like a Woman. “But to have to admit to all of you that I let it back into my life…to let a lot of you down, oh I feel it deeply. I was so proud every time one of you told me on the street that Holly and I made you want to rethink drinking, reframe drinking. I still am.”
The mom of four went on to say, “The truth is, I don’t know what I’m doing. I one hundred percent know I like me better sober. I one hundred percent know I get more done, I absolutely feel better in my body without it. And I am one hundred percent pissed that I can’t be normal and have a cocktail with my husband on vacay without it turning into 8 and feeling like s***.”
Chrissy Teigen said she was tired of getting sick from drinking during the week and didn’t want to feel like she needed alcohol to speak in front of people.
“I hate that the thought of maybe having a drink can consume me some days,” she wrote. “So your rational mind is probably like “OK THEN STOP, B****!” and god, do I f****** AGREE!”
Chrissy Teigen said she now handles slip-ups better and knows how things could get worse if she’s not careful. For now, she plans to stay mindful about drinking.
She concluded her post with gratitude to her followers for letting her share her journey and gave shout-out to the sober community.
