Bella Hadid has revealed that for the first time in her life, she's giving Dry January a go this year.
The supermodel, 25, explained that it became "a lot harder to pick up the glass" after her doctor showed her the effects of alcohol on her brain.
"I have done my fair share of drinking," said Hadid, revealing she decided to give up drinking six months ago.
"I loved alcohol and it got to the point where even I started to, you know, cancel nights out that I felt like I wouldn't be able to control myself," she told InStyle.
"I don't feel the need [to drink alcohol] because I know how it will affect me at 3 in the morning when I wake up with horrible anxiety thinking about that one thing I said five years ago when I graduated high school," she said.
"There's just this never-ending effect of, essentially, you know, pain and stress over those few drinks that didn't really do much, you know?"
Hadid previously got candid about her mental health in November when she posted photos of herself crying.
"Social media is not real. For anyone struggling, please remember that," she wrote at the time.
"Sometimes all you've gotta hear is that you're not alone. So from me to you, you're not alone. I love you, I see you, and I hear you. Self help and mental illness/chemical imbalance is not linear and it is almost like a flowing rollercoaster of obstacles… it has its ups and downs, and side to sides," she added.
"But I want you to know, there is always light at the end of the tunnel, and the rollercoaster always comes to a complete stop at some point."
The model was previously arrested and charged with a DUI in 2014, for which she was given six months of probation, 25 hours of community service, and 20 hours of Alcoholic Anonymous meetings, in addition to having her license suspended for a year.
More recently, Hadid spoke out about her mental health struggles, saying that her anxiety left her unable to get dressed.
Hadid told WSJ Magazine that she had not used a personal stylist in "maybe two years now," and added that putting an outfit together was often too much for her to face.
"I was in such a weird place mentally that it was really complicated for me to get out of the house and put an outfit together, especially with the anxiety of [paparazzi] being outside and all that," she explained.
