Chrissy Teigen is cutting back on her alcoholic intake in an attempt to limit more embarrassing encounters at Hollywood events.

“I was, point blank, just drinking too much,” Teigen told Cosmopolitan. “I got used to being in hair and makeup and having a glass of wine. Then that glass of wine would carry over into me having one before the awards show. And then a bunch at the awards show.”

“Then I felt bad for making kind of an a– of myself to people that I really respected. And that feeling, there’s just nothing like that,” she continued. “You feel horrible. It’s not a good look for me, for (husband) John (Legend), for anybody.”

She added that she was worried because her family has a bad history with alcohol and because she “can’t have just one drink.” What’s more, she has postpartum depression and anxiety, and “alcohol is like the least thing that helps.”

She decided to make the change after going to Bali with her mother for a retreat recently. She said that she came back feeling on top of the world after not having a drink the whole time.

“I would wake up feeling amazing,” Teigen said. “My skin felt amazing. I was just so happy.”

“I used to think it was kind of nutty to have to go totally sober, but now I get it,” Teigen said. “I don’t want to be that person. … I have to fix myself.”
