Four months sober, Cara Delevingne reflects on what prompted her to seek treatment
LA TimesCara Delevingne is four months sober after seeking treatment for substance-use disorder. “It was my first sober Christmas, my first sober New Year,” Delevingne said during a Vogue interview published Wednesday. “You know, sometimes you need a reality check, so in a way those pictures were something to be grateful for.” Even so, Delevingne lamented during the interview about the role paparazzi continue to play in normalizing shame toward people who need help. The substances made her feel “invincible,” she said, but also became “a scary thing to the people around you who love you.” In treatment, she said she began to face herself more honestly and gave herself “the chance to really be who you are and sit in that uncomfortability.” “Because my God, it’s quite uncomfortable for a minute,” she added, “but it gets better, and it’s worth it. She actually had “deep conversations and connections with people.” And she noticed another weird thing after treatment: “I got back to this house and it just looked different,” she said.
