Chrissy Teigen, who recently spoke about her sobriety, went on social media on Wednesday to explain her decision to stop drinking.
In one of her latest posts on Instagram, the cookbook model and author recommended Holly Whitaker’s self-help book, “Stop like a woman: the radical choice not to drink in an alcohol-obsessed culture”, and opened up about your previous drinking habits.
“A month ago, on my birthday, I got this book from my doctor and friend”, Teigen captioned a photo of the book in his story on Instagram.
“I was tired of doing an a – of myself in front of people (I’m still ashamed), tired of drinking during the day and feeling like I’m at 6, unable to sleep. I’ve been sober since then and even if you can’t imagine doing it or just don’t want to, it’s still an incredible read. “
Teigen briefly mentioned earlier this month in a video showing some bright makeup accessories and Christmas light headbands matching her and John Legend’s daughter Luna, who she had stopped drinking.
“Happy X but eve!” she wrote. “Trying to find out if my love for facial crystals is a phase of sobriety or a lifestyle. Crystals and no makeup are a vibe and I’m officially announcing them as my vibe. daily mail, make it one of the main news. Chrissy says the crystals … are a vibe. “
The “Cravings” author, who is known for documenting much of her life online, was especially open this year about her struggles. In September, Teigen revealed that she suffered a pregnancy loss in a poignant post that captured the attention and admiration of many, who applauded her for facing the stigma surrounding pregnancy complications.
His emotional account of the loss led others to tell their own stories of mourning and healing, culminating in a powerful essay by Teigen.
“The worst part is knowing that there are so many women who will not get these peaceful moments of joy from strangers,” she wrote on Medium in October. “I beg you to share your stories and be kind to those who open their hearts. Be kind in general, as some will not spill. “
Expect a more sincere content for 2021 from Teigen, who has already declared his New Year’s resolution: “not explaining S— to you”.
“For years I have been CONSUMED by the overwhelming need to explain why I am doing what I am doing, why I did it [what] Yes, ”she continued on Twitter. “NO MORE. I’m going to doooooo— I doooooo and youuuuuu can be crazy about this.”
“(Note: I’ll still explain how to cook things),” she added.
