Chrissy Teigen: I was “Basically A Functioning Alcoholic”

YOU GET YOUR FEELINGS BACK –

August 25, 2021 – Chrissy Teigen has opened up about her relationship with alcohol and revealed that she’s dealing with unresolved trauma over losing her baby last year.

Chrissy began by reflecting on her time spent in New York in the early phase of her relationship with John, where she’d spend days getting drunk by herself. “I’d sit there with my multiple double vodka sodas and get day drunk by myself (this is not a brag lol I was basically a functioning alcoholic) then buy hats I didn’t like or need at urban outfitters,” she added. The news came after weeks of pregnancy complications and excessive bleeding that had led to Chrissy being hospitalized. “We are shocked and in the kind of deep pain you only hear about, the kind of pain we’ve never felt before,” Chrissy wrote on Instagram alongside a series of devastating photos of herself with John and their son in the hospital. “We were never able to stop the bleeding and give our baby the fluids he needed, despite bags and bags of blood transfusions,” she went on. “It just wasn’t enough.” “Jack worked so hard to be a part of our little family, and he will be, forever,” she added. “To our Jack — I’m so sorry that the first few moments of your life were met with so many complications. That we couldn’t give you the home you needed to survive. We will always love you.”

Three months later, Chrissy announced that she’d successfully marked four weeks sober, telling fans that she’d decided to quit alcohol after growing tired of feeling unwell and embarrassed after drinking.
