Chrissy Teigen has publicly revealed how she recovered after a significant lapse in sobriety.
The Star search the judge openly admitted to relapsing after “being sober for a little over a year” as she credited Carl Radke for inadvertently being her guide.
Teigen detailed how a conversation with the reality TV star about his “honesty and openness about his own journey with sobriety” helped her.
“As you know, I’ve had my own. After being sober for a little over a year, I went back to drinking,” Teigen wrote on Instagram.
She further explained that the relapse began when she reminded herself that she would only consume alcohol in a “mindful” way.
“How lucky I am to have the life I have — I want to enjoy it! And I think that was my first problem,” she explained.
After highlighting a few more instances where addiction messed with her lifestyle, ex Lip Sync Battle alum revealed: “Within the same week of talking to Carl, I stopped drinking again.”
“I had been in talks for Star search and knew that if I got the incredible chance to be on the show, there was absolutely no f***ing way I was going to do it with alcohol in my dressing room.”
She finally shared that she is “52 days sober again with no desire to go back.”
“It turns out that without it, I can still be funny. Still be silly. Still be wildly nervous. Anxious as a fox. And I can get through it all without it,” added the 40-year-old model.
Chrissy also encouraged her followers to listen to her conversation with Carl Radke in a new episode of her podcast, Self-aware with Chrissy Teigen.
“Enjoy our chat because it changed my life. No big deal,” she concluded her extensive Instagram caption.
