"I feel like I’ve got my power back and I’m not being controlled by other things," said the actor and model, who has been sober for almost 2 years.
As her two-year sober anniversary approaches, Cara Delevingne is getting candid about her past experiences with addiction.
In a wide-ranging interview with the U.K.’s Sunday Times, the British actor and model recalled consuming alcohol at a startlingly early age, when she was a bridesmaid in her aunt’s wedding.
“You know I got drunk that day,” she explained. “I was 8, what a crazy age to get drunk.”
Delevingne went public about her recovery last year, acknowledging that she’d checked into rehab in late 2022 and had been attending Alcoholics Anonymous and its 12-step program since.
“The community made a huge difference,” she told Vogue in April 2023. “The opposite of addiction is connection, and I really found that in 12-step.”
