She also lamented some of the experiences she had missed out on due to her drinking, such as falling asleep during a demonstration of how to make a blooming onion by an Outback Steakhouse Chef. Towards the end of her post, Teigen wrote, \u201cWhile I honestly STILL don\u2019t know if I\u2019ll never drink again, I do know I never want to be that way again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The star\u2019s sobriety journey had originally started in December 2020 when she shared that she had read the 2019 book \u201cQuit Like a Woman\u201d by Holly Whitaker. The book discusses the pressures and normalization of women drinking, and Chrissy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodmorningamerica.com\/wellness\/story\/chrissy-teigen-holly-whitakers-book-quit-woman-helped-75029998\">credited it<\/a> with inspiring her to become sober. She fell off the wagon and restarted her journey in July 2021. In an appearance on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=cbsAbU0MA7k\">Today Show<\/a> on October 26<sup>th<\/sup>, Teigen shared more about her decision to quit drinking with the hosts. \u201c&#8217;It just started to get embarrassing like at awards shows and things. And everyone memes it because it\u2019s funny and cute, right? That you fell asleep or something at the Oscars. It became embarrassing\u2026\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>Teigen is one of many celebrities who have given up drinking within the last few years. Patricia Heaton of the popular show \u201cEverybody Loves Raymond\u201d decided to give up drinking in July 2018. In an interview on <a href=\"https:\/\/drugfree.org\/article\/heart-of-the-matter-patricia-heaton\/\">\u201cThe Heart of the Matter\u201d<\/a> podcast with Elizabeth Vargas, Heaton recalled a gathering with three of her four sons. She had been drinking but hadn\u2019t thought she was drunk until she tried to tell a joke and couldn\u2019t pronounce the word \u201ctradition\u201d properly. \u201cAnd my son at the end of the table says, \u2018Oh great, mom. You can\u2019t even talk.\u2019 And I was so humiliated in front of my sons, and their friends,\u201d she said. A devout Catholic who has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.themix.net\/2021\/12\/patricia-heaton-never-afraid-to-be-open-about-her-christian-faith\/\">never been shy about her faith<\/a>, Heaton then spoke about how she decided to give the situation to God. \u201cAnd I thought, \u2018That\u2019s it. That\u2019s it.\u2019 This was literally within 24 hours of me saying, \u2018God, you need to take this away from me.\u2019 And it was kind of this perfect way that he did it. It had every element that I needed. It had a logical element, and had this oh my gosh, my sons have seen me drink too much.\u201d Although Teigen is not sure about whether she will ever drink again, Heaton stated her desire to never drink again in her interview. \u201cSo, I feel so \u2026 That God gave me this huge gift. And at this point, I can\u2019t \u2026 It\u2019s this weird thing. I can\u2019t imagine ever taking a drink again.
