Chrissy Teigen is opening up about her sobriety.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, the 35-year-old model revealed how Holly Whitaker’s book, “Stop like a woman: the radical choice not to drink in an alcohol-obsessed culture”, contributed to her decision to sober up.
“A month ago, on my birthday, I got this book from my doctor and friend”, Teigen started his story on Instagram.
“I was tired of playing the fool in front of people (I’m still ashamed), tired of drinking during the day and feeling bad at 6, unable to sleep,” she continued. “I’ve been sober since then and even if you don’t see yourself doing it or just don’t want to, it’s still an incredible read.”
Earlier this week, Teigen confirmed that she has been sober for a month. After the revelation, the cookbook author received a series of messages of support from fans.
“I was also sober !! Pretty!!! I love it !! “one commented on social media.
“Stay beautiful! One day at a time, ”replied another.
Teigen, the wife of singer John Legend, 42, has struggled in recent months, revealing in October that he suffered a pregnancy loss.
The couple, who share their daughter Luna, 4, and son Miles, 2, honored their son Jack with tattoos.
This is not the first time that Teigen talks about his drink. In 2017, Teigen told Cosmopolitan that he “drank too much.
“I got used to combing, makeup and having a glass of wine. Then, that glass of wine would be transported to me before the award show. And then a lot at the awards. And then I felt bad about playing the fool for people I really respected, ”said Teigen at the time.
