<p>“I do recommend it. If you’re thinking, ‘Oh, maybe I’m drinking a bit much’ or ‘it’s not helping me anymore’, I think that’s the biggest thing I’ve taken from it, is that it didn’t help.</p>
<p>“With the pressures and anxieties and worries and being responsible for kids and their whole life has changed and you’re their parent, you feel enormous guilt, though it’s all out of your control, you kind of feel like having a few drinks will take the edge off and a couple of drinks does but eventually it’s at the stage where it doesn’t help and it certainly wasn’t helping me.”</p>
<p>Chrissie also revealed that her sleeping schedule has drastically improved since she made the decision to go sober. </p>
<p><span>“Alcohol is diabolical for sleep and anxiety too,” she wrote on Instagram.</span></p>
<p><span>Earlier this year, Chrissie said she overhauled her exercise routine in order to achieve her slimmer figure, as she has taken up meditation and regular long walks. </span></p>
<p>“Learning how to meditate kicked it off for me and I realised after the first 10-minute block that it was the first time in ages I’d stopped and slowed down with my own wellbeing top of mind,” she said.</p>
