Cara's redemption
In an eye-opening revelation, Cara Delevingne, the dazzling model and actress known for her vivacious spirit and unapologetic authenticity, has laid bare her struggle with substance abuse and the luminous path of sobriety that she now walks.
Speaking to 'The Sunday Times,' Delevingne shared insights into her tumultuous past, marked by a shocking incident of getting drunk at the tender age of eight. "I was eight, what a crazy age to get drunk," she confessed, hinting at the early signs of her battle.
However, she has no issue being with friends who are drinking while out together at parties, festivals or other places.
March brought devastation to Delevingne's doorstep as her Los Angeles home was consumed by flames. Yet, it was her sobriety that she credits with giving her the strength to move forward.
"It sucks but everyone was safe...if I’d not been sober I would still be reeling over that," she reflects, showcasing the resilience and clarity sobriety has brought her.
Delevingne's journey to sobriety wasn't devoid of temptations. Known for her love of parties and festivals, she now navigates these spaces with a new perspective. Attending Glastonbury sober, she discovered joy in the experience without the haze of intoxication.
"It would still affect me really deeply. Of course it affected me, it’s super sad," she said. "It never won’t be. But I don’t use it as a tool to keep myself sad."
In the interview, she also discussed how she felt about constantly going out. "I used to think drugs and alcohol helped me cope … but they didn’t, they kept me sad and super depressed. I feel like I’ve got my power back and I’m not being controlled by other things."
The Turning Point
The 'Carnival Row' star now attends festivals sober. When she went to Glastonbury sober, she said, "It smelt bad, my feet hurt and I didn’t stay up so late, but it was just as much fun. I never want my life to change in that way."
"I used to think drugs and alcohol helped me cope … but they didn’t, they kept me sad and super depressed. I feel like I’ve got my power back and I’m not being controlled by other things."
The turning point came after the 2022 Burning Man festival, where paparazzi photos and a moment of self-reflection prompted Delevingne to embrace sobriety fully. This decision not only changed her life but also propelled her career to new heights, allowing her to take on roles she never imagined, like Sally Bowles in London's West End.
Delevingne's sobriety is not just a phase but a lifelong commitment to herself. She candidly discusses the ups and downs of the process, emphasizing the importance of patience and self-discovery.
"This process obviously has its ups and downs, but I've started realizing so much," she admits, shedding light on the complexity of recovery.
