She shared that whenever a fan would meet her out and about and say that she and Holly had made them rethink their relationship with alcohol, it was always a moment that made her “so proud”.

“I still am,” she added. “The truth is, I don’t know what I’m doing.

“I one hundred percent know I like me better sober. I one hundred percent know I get more done, I absolutely feel better in my body without it. And I am one hundred percent pissed that I can’t be normal and have a cocktail with my husband on vacay without it turning into 8 and feeling like shit,” Teigen continued.

“I’m tired of throwing up on a Tuesday. I don’t wanna feel like I need a shot to talk to a crowd. I hate that the thought of maybe having a drink can consume me some days.”

She went on to explain that she’s aware plenty of her followers reading her post were probably wondering why she doesn’t just stop drinking, but it’s not that simple.

“All I know is my relationship with the whole process of sobriety (and messing up) has changed for the better,” Teigen wrote.

“I am deeply aware of where this can go if I let it. I guess my plan right now is to continue to be mindful with it.”
