Chrissy Teigen has shocked fans by revealing she has alcohol issues.
Chrissy, who is known for her candid honest demeanour, opened up about her struggle with alcohol during an interview with Cosmpolitan.
In the revealing chat, she confirmed that she is actively seeking to reduce her alcohol intake and admits that she is often unable to stop at just one drink.
“I was, point blank, just drinking too much,” she said. “I got used to being in hair and makeup and having a glass of wine."
“Then, that glass of wine would carry over into me having one before the awards show. And then a bunch at the awards show," she added.
31-year-old Chrissy admitted that drinking often caused her to behave embarrassingly, and she would have regrets after a night on the tiles.
"I felt bad for making kind of an a** of myself to people that I really respected.
"And that feeling - there’s just nothing like that. You feel horrible. It’s not a good look for me, for John, for anybody," she admitted.
Chrissy revealed that there is a history of alcohol abuse in her family, which makes her mindful of repeating history.
The model also worried about the impact of her drinking on her medication for postpartum depression and anxiety. “Alcohol is, like the least thing that helps,” she admitted.
Recently, Chrissy went on a wellness retreat to Bali, where she enjoyed a sober relaxing holiday. The break from alcohol did her the world of good.
“It was really, really wonderful," she said. "I would wake up feeling amazing. My skin felt amazing. I was just so happy.”
The mum-of-one is now contemplating the best way to manage her alcohol issues now that she is back home in LA and surrounded by the temptation of champagne receptions and “boozy brunches”.
"I used to think it was kind of nutty to have to go totally sober,” she said. “But now I get it. I don’t want to be that person… I have to fix myself.”
The star also opened on her plans to expand her brood, revealing that the family have been enjoying travelling before they start having a baby again.
"We're going to try to have a child. This is for us to try to get in the zone of 'let's travel, let's be away together, let's see our closest friends', and then we're going to have to do something super hard, which is the IVF process, all over again,” she revealed.
We’re excited for her!
