Victoria's Secret Angel Elsa Hosk Opens Up About Her Struggles With Alcoholism

 

Victoria's Secret Angel Elsa Hosk has revealed she once battled alcoholism in her late teens in a candid Instagram Q&A with her 5.3 million followers.
The 30-year-old model, who was given the honour of wearing the Victoria's Secret Fantasy Bra in 2018, was asked by a follower whether she "smokes or drinks", and responded with a lengthy paragraph about her sobriety.
"I got sober when I was 20. It's been 10 years of no drinking," Hosk revealed.
"Being sober for me didn't mean that my life came to an end (which I thought at the time) it was the beginning of a real, beautiful, big, happy successful life. Quite the opposite of what I thought!
"It was a struggle in the beginning because I'm an alcoholic (something you have to remind yourself of for the rest of your life) but it's the best decision I ever made. It's ok not to drink or do drugs."

Hosk was also candid about her smoking habits, adding: "I quit smoking 2 years ago. I still vape, hope to quit that too one day."
It's the first time the Swedish-born model has spoken about her battle with sobriety. The revelation came as part of an 'ask me anything' session Hosk held with her Instagram followers, in which she also shared glimpses inside her impressive wardrobe, and some insight into her daily diet habits.
Hosk is not the only Victoria's Secret model who has spoken about struggles with substance abuse. Former angel Gisele Bündchen said in her autobiography that she relied on "stimulants and depressants to get me through the day" during her early days in the industry.
"Coffee to get me going in the morning. Cigarettes to punctuate the long hours and create a space for me at work without anyone—stylists, hair people, makeup people—touching me. Steak, burgers, french fries, pasta, pizza, candy, and whatever else to keep up my energy. Red wine to relax me and help me fall asleep," she said.

She's actually mentioned it before in other Q&A's but not to this depth. It's nice to see her expanding on it, and having such a healthy mindset regarding addiction. Hopefully she manages to kick vaping entirely soon. 

 

Edit: It also kind of helps "explain" why, or might be a reason why, Elsa doesn't tend to hang out with Angels like Taylor and Sara and Jas, who seem to be pretty heavy into the partying with "Tequila Taylor" and all their big Vegas parties etc.

that is a really good point. I always wondered about her not being there for those kinds of things, and I always figured she was just a homebody or something. Either way, I think it's cool she's not in the party/club scene but I'm very glad that she is ok and healthy now

Tequila Taylor seems to have slowed a bit. Taylor barely hangs out with the other angels save Stella and spends more time with Daph and her sisters.  Best guess she's just over parting all the time. I think the same thing is happening with Sara actually.

 

Grace, Martha, Elsa, Taylor, Stella and Sara* (somewhat) seem way less drinky/club happy then say  Jasmine, Jo, Romee & Leomie
