Chrissy Teigen revealed she is 100 days sober while opening up about her recent cyberbullying controversy.

The model and TV personality acknowledged the milestone in her sobriety journey during an appearance on the “Today” show while promoting her new cookbook, “Cravings: All Together: Recipes to Love: A Cookbook.”

Teigen talked about the lesson she learned from the public criticism she received after her mean tweets from her past resurfaced earlier this year.

“Having this period of time to digest it all and to look back and to realize that honestly there is always so much time to grow and to learn and to become more empathetic,” she told “Today” show host Hoda Kotb. “I look at my kids, and I look at what I want their values to be and how I want them to treat people. And to see that in myself that I wasn’t doing that was the hardest part … realizing, ‘My goodness, this really had an effect on people.’ “

Teigen credited her newfound sobriety for helping her during that period of introspection.

“For me, it was a big moment of like, ‘Wow, I need to find out how I can be better, how I can grow from this, learn from this,’” Teigen shared. “There’s that old cliché of ‘I’m glad it happened,’ but truly it made me a stronger person, a better person. That’s when I went sober, I went clean. I’m actually 100 days sober today, and I’m so excited.”
