‘I used it to survive trauma’

Courtney Stodden announced that she had left alcohol to focus on her sobriety and mental health.

Calling alcohol a toxic escape, the model said that it was ready to leave unhealthy habits and recover its life.

This occurs after Courtney Stodden has thought about her abusive marriage at 16 with Doug Hutchison, declaring that she will no longer remain silent and hopes to authorize her other survivors throughout her trip.

Stodden officially stopped drinking after celebrating her 30th anniversary, a decision which, according to her, left her a “very happy” feeling while she embraces a new chapter focused on sobriety and well-being.

Speaking to Daily mailThe model and actress, who has just won a biopic for life, said that moving away from alcohol has also helped stabilize her mental health.

“Abandon alcohol also helps my mental health. I feel better without it,” she revealed, adding that she was leaning on alcohol to deal with renown and personal struggles.

“Alcohol has been my escape for years, but it turned into a trap,” said Stodden. “I used it to survive the trauma, but it ended up making me feel more lost and ashamed. This break is not only with a substance – it is with a version of myself, I am ready to leave.”

She admitted that what once seemed harmless entered the spiral in unhealthy patterns: “At one point, the downside ceased to be cute. I used alcohol to face pain, but everything he did was to make things more disorderly – and make me stronger in all bad manners. I finally cut the links. Alcohol and I? Total toxic.”

Stodden announced on Tuesday her new sobriety on Instagram when she wrote: “Alcohol, I have broken with you. It has been a toxic relationship for years. Something that I used to face, escape, to survive. But it hurt me more than it ever helped me – as opposed and private.”

“Last night was the last time,” she said. “I finished letting him control me. I have finished feeling sick and ashamed. I want to be fully present in my life. I want to face my past, my trauma and my current reality with clear eyes and a real force. To those who understand this battle, thank you.”

Stodden added: “Please respect my space while I travel this new path. It is not easy, but it is necessary.”

Although she fought to find out if it was necessary to make this announcement, Stodden said that it just seemed to share this deeply personal step.

“This is something that I went back and forth about the publication. But my life has always been so public, and it’s a large part of my healing,” noted the media personality.

In the comments, fans have shown support for the Sobriety travel of Stodden. We encouraged, “good for you. You are never going to be sad the next morning that you did not drink a drink.”

Another shared a personal step: “I’m sober 8 months more at this stage. The best decision ever made. Here for you if you need a friend. You have that.”

Some have offered advice, such as “ginger beer and cranberry juice!” Makes you think that you are drinking without wood, shame and regret. “

Another wrote: “It’s great! Sobriety is a wonderful thing and a way of living. Everything is a question of travel and not of the destination.”

Stodden’s sobriety announces after thinking about his controversial past as a teenage married while marking what would have been her 14th wedding anniversary.

Speaking to Daily mailThe star of “couples therapy” admitted having married a time to kill “Doug Hutchison at 16 was a huge error, the one she refuses sugar.
