Elle Macpherson recently opened up about her struggles with addiction and self-image in her memoir, "Elle." The 60-year-old Australian supermodel shared the pivotal moments of her past, revealing how she battled alcoholism, especially during her downward spiral when she would often drink alone after putting her children to bed. "I was in a horrible downward spiral. Often, I would drink after I put my children to bed. I would sit down by myself and have shots of vodka," she recalled in an interview.

Macpherson, who has two sons, celebrated 20 years of sobriety in September. Her journey toward recovery was not just about quitting alcohol but addressing deeper emotional challenges. "It’s not just drinking; we can be addicted to fear, we can be addicted to drama," she explained. Her focus during recovery shifted to health and spirituality, leading her to establish her health brand, WelleCo.

In 2017, Macpherson faced another battle when she was diagnosed with breast cancer. After undergoing an initial lumpectomy and confirming her diagnosis, she chose a holistic approach over traditional medical recommendations that included a mastectomy and chemotherapy. “Saying no to standard medical solutions was the hardest thing I’ve ever done in my life,” she wrote in her memoir.

After months of holistic treatment and lifestyle changes, Macpherson is now in clinical remission. She expressed her newfound vitality, saying, "I have never felt better than I do now," and described this chapter in her life as a "new beginning." Macpherson emphasized gratitude and enthusiasm as she reflects on her life at 60, with a renewed sense of purpose and commitment to her health.
