Cara Delevingne’s journey to sobriety has been both courageous and inspiring. The 31-year-old model/actress revealed her decision to get sober back in March 2023 after seeking treatment the year prior. Now, at the 2024 Met Gala, she’s using her platform to send a powerful message to those who may be struggling with similar challenges.
In a candid conversation with Variety, Cara shared words of encouragement for anyone battling addiction: “You’re not alone. If I can do it, anyone can,” she asserted. This simple yet profound statement serves as a beacon of hope, reminding others that recovery is possible, even in the face of adversity.
Furthermore, Cara emphasized the importance of communication and honesty throughout the recovery process. “You need to communicate and be honest about it as much as you can — especially with yourself,” she advised. By acknowledging the significance of open dialogue, Cara underscores the vital role that support and self-awareness play in the journey to sobriety.
For Cara, speaking openly about her struggles is not just an act of personal empowerment but also a way to connect with others who may be experiencing similar challenges. “I think that’s what I’ve always done with anything in this business,” she reflected. “Whether it’s been being vocal about anxiety, depression, recovery, anything, it’s just you owe it to people to talk about your struggles, because being in this world is not perfect. No one is perfect.”
Cara’s message is one of resilience and compassion. Through her advocacy for mental health awareness and addiction recovery, she exemplifies the strength that lies in embracing one’s vulnerabilities and seeking support when needed. As she continues on her journey, Cara remains a beacon of hope, inspiring others to embrace their own paths to healing and self-discovery.
