Chrissy Teigen revealed she is 52 days sober from alcohol after having recently relapsed.
The model and TV personality opened up about how her slip-up with sobriety occurred in an over 400-word statement shared on Instagram Jan. 27, where she assured the public that she is doing better than ever.
After over a year sober, she explained that she wanted to establish a healthy relationship with drinking so she could participate in mundane aspects of life like having a glass of wine with her husband, John Legend, during date night.
"I went back to drinking. I promised myself it would be in a 'mindful' way," she wrote. "To be able to toast on birthdays. How lucky I am to have the life I have — I want to enjoy it! And I think that was my first problem. Tying drinking to reward or like some sort of life prize. Soon it became the kind of drinking I’m all too familiar with," Teigen wrote.
Suddenly, she found herself drinking from "6pm, to 5, to 4, to aw hell, it's lunch, why not" before having a frightening realization to herself, saying "here we go again."
