The former model suffered pregnancy loss in September
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Chrissy Teigen is getting her ducks in a row ahead of the new year.
The "Cravings" cookbook author revealed on Tuesday that she is "4 weeks sober" after she posted a video of herself dancing aboard a slick yacht while she vacations in St. Barts with husband John Legend and their two children: daughter Luna, 4, and son Miles, 2.
Now, the former swimsuit model is opening up about what spurred her decision to sober up as 2021 approached.

"I was done with making an a-- of myself in front of people (I'm still embarrassed), tired of day drinking and feeling like s--t by 6, not being able to sleep," Teigen continued, adding, "I have been sober ever since."
