Made In Chelsea’s finest Millie Mackintosh's latest expedition is across the tides of sobriety. Last week, she hit a year since she last had a drink. Read more on Grazia.
‘There were a lot of emotions,’ she tells Grazia about how it felt to hit the 365-day marker. ‘A year ago to the day, I’d felt at rock bottom, I felt awful. It was slightly triggering, having that memory of how you felt the year before.’
Once she’d jumped, it was all about navigating the social anxiety she felt without alcohol there as a lubricant for awkward conversations and small talk. ‘I felt like I’d forgotten how to make conversation,’ she says. ‘I think I find small talk really painful anyway. So you then realise that alcohol makes social situations seem maybe more fun than they actually are.
She adds that she’s really had to work on curbing the instinct to people please. ‘A big part was learning to not care as much what other people think,’ Millie says. ‘You can’t live to please other people – you have to put yourself first.’ ‘I've got much better at not reacting when they're really pushing my buttons,’ she says. ‘And I've got better at putting my phone down and being like, “this is my time with them.”
