Model Chrissy Teigen took to Instagram in July 2022 to celebrate a whole year of being sober. "I miss feeling loopy and carefree sometimes, but to be honest toward the end, it didn't give that fun feeling anymore anyhow. I drank to end crazy anxiety that later mostly went away when I - get this - quit drinking!" she wrote in the caption. Having had times abstaining from alcohol over the years, she gave up with a more permanent focus in 2021. "anyhow I feel really good. sometimes I get really frustrated looking back on days I should remember way better than I do because of alcohol," she added, before late detailing that "There are pictures from huge moments in life where my eyes just look…gone."
While not putting pressure on herself to never have a drop of drink again, she is honest about the process. "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. And for now, none is best. I'll let the bad dreams come up and try to sort them out in therapy, without booze."
