Why Bella Hadid quit smoking – she speaks to InStyle

American model, Bella Hadid has finally revealed what led her to stop drinking six months ago.

The 25-year-old model told InStyle that she took the decision because she felt like she couldn’t “control” herself.

Hadid said;

“I have done my fair share of drinking. 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.”

The model further revealed that it became “a lot harder to pick up the glass” after a doctor showed her scans revealing the effects alcohol has on the brain. She told the outlet that she plans to stay sober for the foreseeable future.

Hadid added;

“I don’t feel the need [to drink anymore] 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.

“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?”

Earlier this month, Hadid also addressed her “excruciating” mental health struggles in an interview with WSJ. Magazine. The Victoria’s Secret model admitted that she was “in such a weird place mentally” that it was challenging for her to even “get out of the house and put an outfit together,” especially with the anxiety of paparazzi “being outside and all of that.”
