Chrissy Teigen is celebrating one year sober

Chrissy Teigen is celebrating one year sober. The “Cravings: All Together” cookbook writer, 36, marked her alcohol-free anniversary in a frank message on Instagram. John Legend, 43, and their kids Luna Simone, 6, and Miles Theodore, 4, Teigen reflected on a series of moments that passed her by due to drinking.

She said: “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 any more anyhow. She went on: “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.

“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. The former “Sports Illustrated Swimsuit” model opened up in December to “People” about her first time celebrating a major holiday sober. She said: “I think the thing that makes me happy is realising that I’ll still say stupid things and act and make stupid mistakes, even sober.

“I used to make crucial Thanksgiving errors, maybe one or two, and I still made a really bad one this year. But I actually caught it, and that’s something drunk Chrissy would never have done. I caught it before it went out and I was like, ‘Wow, I am so sober’.
