Cara Delevingneis getting candid about her sobriety.

In acover interview for the September issue ofELLE UK, the supermodel, 30, shared that quitting alcohol has been “worth every second.”

“It hasn’t [been easy], but there have never been moments when I’m like, ‘This isn’t worth it,’ ” she told the publication of going sober. “It’s been worth every second. I just don’t know what it would take for me to give it up. I am stable. I’m calmer."

Delevingne also shared that she felt like a weight had been lifted after opening up about her struggles earlier this year.

“For a long time, I felt like I was hiding a lot from people who looked up to me. I finally feel as though I can be free and myself, fully,” she said.
