«If I managed to give up alcohol, anyone can do it. But you have to communicate with others and be as honest as possible with yourself». Cara Delevingne, al Met Galashe returned to talk about her detox from alcohol, and she did so with a specific objective: to help people who are following that same path and who feel in difficulty.
“Whether we’re talking about anxiety, depression, recovery, or anything else, it is simply a duty towards other people to open up about one’s difficulties and about their own struggles, because this world is not perfect. And no one is perfect. So, honestly, it’s the least we can do,” explained the 31-year-old actress and supermodel. The first time she addressed the topic was 2023, in the interview for the cover of Vogue of April. That’s when she revealed that she had entered a structured 12-step detox program.
There had been a few photos taken in July 2022 by paparazzi, in Los Angelesto alert her. At the time, she explained that his excesses were related to the effects of the pandemic and her thirtieth birthday. «It was painful, because I thought I was having fun, but at some point I had to admit, “Okay, I don’t look good.”. You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way I’m grateful for those photos.” Cara Delevingne realized she had hit rock bottom and needed help to move on, and she signed up for a detox program.
Not an easy path, «but there have never been moments when I thought it wasn’t worth it. It was worth every second. I’m stable now. I’m more calm». And talking about her experience was also good for her: she felt she had freed herself from a burden, that she could be “fully myself”.
