Dog Luna assists Millie Mackintosh in maintaining her sobriety, as she struggled with alcohol issues for multiple years.
Millie Mackintosh, former star of Made In Chelsea, has shared her transformative journey from being a 'bad drunk' to being alcohol-free for over two years. In an interview with the Sunday Times, Mackintosh discussed the role her pug, Luna, plays in helping her maintain sobriety.
Mackintosh, who released a book about her struggles with alcohol titled 'Bad Drunk' in 2022, admitted that she became an 'angry' drunk and sought help from a sober coach to aid her in staying sober. Since going sober, she has noticed a significant change in her life, calling it the most transformative thing she has ever done.
The interview also highlighted how owning Luna has helped Mackintosh avoid waking up with a hangover and provided her with companionship and a positive focus that supports her mental and physical health. Luna offers emotional support and helps Mackintosh break away from old patterns related to drinking, contributing to her ability to manage ADHD symptoms and improve her overall well-being.
Mackintosh encouraged those navigating sobriety to know they are not alone and has received messages from readers sharing their own experiences with sobriety since the release of her book. She often goes for walks along the river with Luna and meets up with other dog owners, providing her with a supportive community.
Mackintosh continues to raise awareness about sobriety and the positive changes in her life since going alcohol-free. She is married to former Made In Chelsea co-star Hugo Taylor and is a mother to two daughters.
