Chrissy Teigen Reflects On One Year of Sobriety: ‘I Feel Really Good’
Chrissy Teigen is celebrating a dry year, she revealed on social media yesterday (July 18). “Not a drop of alcohol in 365 days!” she wrote on Instagram. “I miss feeling loopy and carefree sometimes, but to be honest toward the end, it didn’t give that fun feeling anymore anyhow. I drank to end crazy anxiety that later mostly went away when I — get this — quit drinking! sigh. anyhow I feel really good.”
Teigen, 36, explained in a lengthy post that abstaining completely from alcohol had made her more present in her family and friends’ lives. “Sometimes I get really frustrated looking back on days I should remember way better than I do because of alcohol. Like when I drank cafe patron and fell asleep while an Outback Steakhouse chef taught me (my friends) how to make a bloomin onion at my house,” she wrote. “I wish I was awake for that.”
The cookbook author recounted other times that she felt had slipped by her. “Wish I remembered really any awards show lol. There are pictures from huge moments in life where my eyes just look…gone. Some are from real work shoots, some just beach days with the family,” Teigen explained. “While I honestly STILL don’t know if I’ll never have a drink again, I do know I never want to be that way again. And for now, none is best. I’ll let the bad dreams come up and try to sort them out in therapy, without booze. Prayers for a blooming onion redo, @outback??”
As we previously reported, Teigen has struggled with alcohol throughout the years. Six months into her sobriety journey, Teigen gave another update on social media in January saying, “I now have endless energy, way less anxiety (no more benzos!) and I am *happier* and more present than ever,” she wrote. “It’s pretty cool. I look forward to having my full body reset after 1 year, then reevaluating to see my new hopes and wishes for the future! Let’s goooo.”
