Chrissy Teigen: I was drinking too much

Cape Town – Chrissy Teigen has opened up about her struggle with alcohol.

In an interview with Cosmopolitan magazine, Chrissy admitted her recent trip to a wellness retreat in Bali with John Legend and their daughter Luna was more for her to do a reset on her health.

She admitted: “I was, point blank, just drinking too much. 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.” 

Chrissy added that because of the drinking she felt bad for embarrassing herself in front of people she respects and admits it was not a good look for herself or John.

The 31-year-old revealed that while in Bali, she went completely sober and felt great, something she is considering making permanent.

“I would wake up feeling amazing. My skin felt amazing. I was just so happy,” she said, “I used to think it was kind of nutty to have to go totally sober, but now I get it. I don't want to be that person. … I have to fix myself.”
