Cara Delevingne

Cara Delevingne, who entered rehab last fall, is looking back on the struggle she faced last year in a new interview with Vogue.

She added, "Before I was always into the quick fix of healing, going to a weeklong retreat or to a course for trauma, say, and that helped for a minute, but it didn't ever really get to the nitty-gritty, the deeper stuff. This time I realized that 12-step treatment was the best thing, and it was about not being ashamed of that. "People want my story to be this after-school special where I just say, 'Oh look, I was an addict, and now I'm sober and that's it.' And it's not as simple as that. "From September, I just needed support," she said. I need to be enjoying this.' " I was not okay," she told the magazine.

“We shared most of our 20s together and we were by each other’s side as we entered our 30s,” says the 32-year-old actor. And so I decided I was going to party as hard as I could because this was the end.” “I was literally with her the day I turned 30 and vice versa. Only Murders in the Building costar Selena Gomez, a close friend, says she is someone who “wants the best for other people.” Phoebe Waller-Bridge describes her as “deeply loyal” and “unnervingly wise.” “We all have moments in our lives that we’d rather weren’t photographed and shown to everyone. I barely left the room.” She describes the feeling of foreboding as like “a slowly beating drum inside.” “There was this need for change, but I was fighting it so much. “They ride for me and I love my friends so much, but it felt like a lot of the time, they were shallow relationships only because I wasn’t able to be honest about the things I was going through. “I put myself in danger in those moments because I don’t care about my life,” she says. “Obviously there have been highs and lows—huge highs and lows,” she says. “I have so many friends,” she tells me. She recalls a plane ride she took with Delevingne toward the end of her birthday celebrations as a major inflection point. “I always kind of knew that things were going to have to be different in my 30s, because the way that I was living was not sustainable,” she says. The house I was staying in had a tower and I would just kind of lock myself in it instead.

Cara Delevingne opened up about entering rehab and getting sober after those infamous paparazzi shots of her looking distressed last fall.

“Before I was always into the quick fix of healing, going to a weeklong retreat or to a course for trauma, say, and that helped for a minute, but it didn’t ever really get to the nitty-gritty, the deeper stuff,” Delevingne said. “This time, I realized that 12-step treatment was the best thing, and it was about not being ashamed of that. The opposite of addiction is connection, and I really found that in 12-step.” The way that addiction took my mother from me was brutal, and it was brutal for her too.” [interview](https://www.vogue.com/article/cara-delevingne-april-cover-2023-interview) found Delevingne opening up about a set of striking [paparazzi shots](https://pagesix.com/2022/09/07/fans-concerned-by-cara-delevingnes-erratic-airport-behavior/) from last September, in which the actress was spotted shoeless at the Van Nuys Airport in Los Angeles, looking disheveled and acting erratically. “And I think that was really scary.”

People want my story to be this after-school special where I just say, ‘Oh look, I was an addict, and now I’m sober and that’s it.’ And it’s not as simple as that. The opposite of addiction is connection, and I really found that in 12-step.” She's also making sure to keep all the changes happening in her life manageable for now. These days, Delevingne said she's committed to the 12-step program, whereas, “Before I was always into the quick fix of healing, going to a weeklong retreat or to a course for trauma, say, and that helped for a minute, but it didn’t ever really get to the nitty-gritty, the deeper stuff. Of course I want things to be instant—I think this generation especially, we want things to happen quickly—but I’ve had to dig deeper.” I always thought that the work needs to be done when the times are bad, but actually the work needs to be done when they’re good. Putting everything—work, every obligation—aside and just asking myself, What do I need in this time?” Right now, she explains that means going outside, eating three meals a day, committing to twice-daily yoga practices and meditation, in addition to 12-step meetings, weekly therapy sessions, and psychodrama appointments, a form of therapy involving role-play. “At first I was exploring all the avenues, seeing what was best for me, seeing if medication was necessary. This time I realized that 12-step treatment was the best thing, and it was about not being ashamed of that.
