Chrissy Teigen Celebrates One Year Sober
Chrissy Teigen is celebrating a major milestone — a year of sobriety.
Chrissy marked 365 days without alcohol by writing an honest message about her past drinking days.
“Not a drop of alcohol in 365 days! I miss feeling loopy and carefree sometimes, but to be honest toward the end, it didn’t give that fun feeling anymore anyhow,” Teigen wrote on Monday in an Instagram Reel, sharing photos and video from her recent travels in France.
“I drank to end crazy anxiety that later mostly went away when I — get this — quit drinking! sigh.”
The former model added that she currently feels “really good” and “sometimes I get really frustrated looking back on days I should remember way better than I do because of alcohol.”
“Like when I drank cafe patron and fell asleep while an Outback Steakhouse chef taught me (my friends) how to make a bloomin onion at my house. I wish I was awake for that,” she candidly reflected. “Wish I remembered really any awards show lol.”
Teigen added that there are photos of “huge moments” in her life “where my eyes just look…gone. Some are from real work shoots, some just beach days with the family.”
“While I honestly STILL don’t know if I’ll never have a drink again, I do know I never want to be that way again,” she continued. “And for now, none is best.”
She concluded by writing that she will let “let the bad dreams come up and try to sort them out in therapy, without booze.” She jokingly also added that she hopes for an Outback Steakhouse bloomin onion redo.
Teigen’s husband, John Legend, commented, “Soooooo proud of you, my strong beautiful wife!”
Teigen previously shared on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna in October that she decided to become sober because her drinking “got embarrassing,” especially around her husband John Legend.
“I just was like, I can’t be the messy one,” she shared. “This is embarrassing, and I don’t want to be waking up in the morning and being like, ‘Oh, what did I say?’ Like that’s so embarrassing and then it was just not worth it.”
Adding that she hadn’t gone more than a day or two without alcohol since she started drinking in her early 20s, Teigen said that “it was kind of an issue.”
She noted that when she was doing interviews or working, she felt like she “needed a glass of wine.”
“And then it just started to get embarrassing like at award shows and things and everyone memes it and thinks it’s funny and cute that you fell asleep or something,” she said, referencing the 2017 Oscars when she went viral for falling asleep during the ceremony.
