Chrissy Teigen marks one year of sobriety with candid post about her drinking days

Chrissy Teigen has marked reaching one year of sobriety with a candid post in which she reflected on moments in her life that she can't remember because of alcohol.

The model, 36, has publicly spoken about her sobriety journey over the last 12 months, with her having now celebrated the milestone in a post on Instagram yesterday.

It included footage of Chrissy and her husband John Legend, 43, as well as their children Luna, six, and Miles, four, on vacation - with them exploring a historic building.

Alongside the video, she opened up about her experiences with alcohol and explained to her 38 million followers on the platform that she is "feeling really good" in her sobriety.

"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," Chrissy said.

The author said that she had "drank to end crazy anxiety," though she noted that such feelings later "mostly went away" when she eventually did quit drinking last year.

She continued in the post: "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."

Chrissy then shared some examples of moments in her life that she doesn't remember too well, such as a cooking experience with some friends, which she expressed regret over.

She said: "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."

"Wish I remembered really any awards show lol. There are pictures from huge moments in life where my eyes just look… gone. Some are from real work shoots, some just beach days with the family," she added.

Chrissy further commented: "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."

And she concluded the post by writing: "I'll let the bad dreams come up and try to sort them out in therapy, without booze. Prayers for a blooming onion redo, @outback??"

The post attracted more than 300,000 likes on the platform, with followers taking to the comments section to congratulate Chrissy on the milestone with her sobriety.
