4. Lucy Hale

I have been working on getting sober since I was 20. I'm 33. It took time. It took patience with myself,” she said. “I just held on to that belief that the real Lucy came out when she was drinking. It also quieted my mind…my brain just doesn't shut off and it's exhausting. I was a textbook binge drinker, blackout, wouldn't remember what I did or what I said, which is scary.”

Lucy said she first tried drinking at age 14, she knew she had a problem with it and at no point in her life has she been a “normal, moderate drinker.”

5. Jessica Simpson

“I was killing myself with all the drinking and pills,” she writes. The star got sober in November 2017 and hasn’t had a drink since. “Giving up the alcohol was easy,” she says. “I was mad at that bottle. At how it allowed me to stay complacent and numb.”Therapy, she says, was the hard part. As she writes, “With work, I allowed myself to feel the traumas I’d been through.”

Cara shared that she's proudly been sober for four months – and reflected on a series of paparazzi shots of herself from last June, taken in Van Nuys airport, that sparked concern. "I hadn’t slept. I was not okay," she shares. "It's heartbreaking because I thought I was having fun, but at some point, it was like, 'Okay, I don't look well'.

From that day on I went cold turkey."
