Vogue Williams has praised her husband Spencer Matthews for giving up alcohol, uploading a post to Instagram to show her support. It follows Spencer’s emotional post earlier this week, where he reflected on his decision to become sober before birth of their son, Theodore. ‘So unbelievably proud of my husband and best friend,' the model wrote. 'He has always been incredible to me but to watch how he’s transformed his life over the last 18 months has made me love and admire him even more.'
Earlier this week, Spencer opened up about why he decided to embrace sobriety. The former Made In Chelsea star said he gave up alcohol before he became a parent, after realising that his relationship with it was ‘destructive’. In a candid post, Matthews wrote on Instagram, ‘Sobriety is a lifestyle choice I made a few months before becoming a dad.
'In the back of my mind for many years, I had always felt that my relationship with alcohol, although seemingly harmless was unhealthy and somewhat destructive. Drinking lead me to make poor decisions and achieving my full potential was slipping away. I had abstained from alcohol for lengthy periods at a time but in doing so had made drinking at the end of that period a reward - a pat on the back for my achievement. It was a vicious cycle...'
He continued, ‘I had to change my relationship with alcohol in order to become the man that I knew I could be and that my family would be proud of. Sobriety has opened my mind and unlocked parts of me that I didn’t even realise existed. I am more ambitious and hard working now than I have ever been and there has been a serious shift in my priorities and what’s important to me.’
Matthews is also launching his own company, Clean Liquor, for those looking for an alternative to alcohol. He concluded, 'Over the last year and a half I have learnt an awful lot about the low and no alcohol sector and what it has to offer and have developed a business to compete in that sector at the highest level.'
