Supermodel Bella Hadid recently shared a personal milestone on her Instagram Story, revealing that she has been alcohol-free for five months. Hadid, 26, posted a video of herself dancing in a casino with the caption “5 months no alcohol today”.

Her fans congratulated her on this achievement and praised her for inspiring them to take steps towards recovery. Hadid’s journey to sobriety was not an easy one. In an interview with InStyle, she admitted to having struggled with alcohol addiction, saying, “I loved alcohol, and it got to the point where even I started to, you know, cancel nights out that I felt like I wouldn’t be able to control myself”.

She also explained how her anxiety about past mistakes and the negative impact alcohol had on her mental health were major factors in her decision to quit.

The Fashionista and Mental Health

Hadid has been open about her struggles with anxiety and depression, which she has been dealing with since her younger years.

In a post on Instagram in September 2021, she spoke about her social anxiety, saying, “It got harder for me to go out without having one drink to calm my nerves, which made me not want to go out at all, so I was just hibernating between jobs”.

Last year, the model revealed to WSJ. Magazine how her mental health struggles had made it difficult for her to get dressed in the morning, calling it a “debilitating” and “excruciating” experience.

She has since learned to prioritize her happiness and comfort over the opinions of others when it comes to her personal style.

Co-founder of Kin Euphorics

In 2021, Hadid co-founded Kin Euphorics, a brand that sells soft drinks designed to boost brain health.

The brand claims to use adaptogens and nootropics, which are said to have a positive effect on mental clarity and stress relief. Hadid’s journey to sobriety has inspired many of her fans and followers to take steps towards recovery.

Several of her TikTok followers left messages congratulating her on her five months of sobriety and encouraging her to continue on this path. One fan wrote, “Bella, so many people look up to you and are proud of you for quitting.

Let’s normalize not drinking alcohol please”.
