Chrissy Teigen Admits Alcohol Relapse, Shares Inspiring Update
28 Jan
Summary
- Teigen recently relapsed after over a year of sobriety.
- She aims to build a healthy relationship with drinking.
- A TV show opportunity influenced her decision to stop drinking again.
Model and television personality Chrissy Teigen recently shared that she is now 52 days sober after experiencing a relapse with alcohol. She had maintained sobriety for over a year before deciding to reintroduce drinking, initially with the intention of a 'mindful' approach.
However, Teigen found herself falling back into familiar drinking patterns, which she described as 'quiet and consistent' rather than overtly messy. She acknowledged a desire to enjoy life's moments, like a glass of wine with her husband, John Legend, but this led to a loss of control.
A significant factor in her decision to stop drinking again was the prospect of judging the revival of the talent show 'Star Search.' Teigen felt strongly that she could not participate in the show with alcohol in her dressing room, marking a clear turning point.
She credited friend Carl Radke for his openness about his own sobriety journey, which inspired her. Teigen emphasized that even without alcohol, she can still be herself, expressing emotions and navigating life's challenges.
