Chrissy Teigen celebrates 1 year of sobriety with candid message about her past drinking

Chrissy Teigen has reached the one-year mark on her sobriety journey.

The model and mom-of-two took to Instagram to celebrate the milestone with a sweet video of herself, her husband John Legend, and kids Luna Simone and Miles Theodore.

In the caption, she reflected on how she used to use alcohol to control her anxiety.

"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," she wrote, adding: "I drank to end crazy anxiety that later mostly went away when I - get this - quit drinking! sigh."

The Chrissy's Court star went on to say that she feels "really good" - but that she still struggles when looking back on the state she used to be in.

"Sometimes I get really frustrated looking back on days I should remember way better than I do because of alcohol. 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," she wrote.

"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," Teigen added.

She wrapped up the lengthy social media post by saying that - for now at least - she was going to use therapy to deal with her demons rather than drinking.

"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," she wrote.

Unsurprisingly, thousands of  Teigen's  38.6 million followers flooded the comments with messages of love and support for her.

"A great accomplishment. You’re glowing, too," writer Kirbie Johnson wrote, while Irinel de Leon, Teigen's hairstylist, commented: "It’s been a journey and one that has been hard, rewarding and incredible to watch. I love you so much."
