The 39-year-old model took to her Instagram account to share a preview of the latest episode of her podcast, “Self-Conscious,” where she candidly discussed her journey with sobriety.
“Holly Whitaker changed my life, changed my perspective and changed how I view the f****** beast that is alcohol,” Teigen wrote, referencing Holly Whitaker’s book “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 mother of four continued, “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 expressed her weariness with feeling unwell from drinking during the week and her desire to not feel dependent on alcohol to speak publicly.
“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 shared that she now manages setbacks more effectively and recognizes the potential for things to worsen if she isn’t careful. For the time being, she plans to remain mindful about her alcohol consumption.
She concluded her post by expressing gratitude to her followers for allowing her to share her experiences and acknowledged the sober community.
