Leah McSweeney Celebrates 3 Months Of Sobriety!

Leah McSweeney has announced that she has been sober for three months after filming her first season of The Real Housewives of New York City. “Once COVID hit, I knew quarantining and the way I drink would not work well together … to say the least. Not drinking during the pandemic has been a complete gift to me, and the nine years of living booze-free has made the transition much easier to deal with,” she said in a statement to Us Weekly.

“I am so incredibly touched by the outpouring of love and support on social media. I want to remove the stigma and shame surrounding addiction and mental health issues as this is something I’ve been open about and will always continue to be.”

The mother-of-one also shared the news via Instagram on Sunday, June 28, writing, “It’s been a trippy 90 days” alongside a photo of a pink sobriety coin, reports the publication.

In the comments section of the post, McSweeney explained that she did not attend any Alcoholics Anonymous “meetings to get my 90 day chip.” Instead, she received it from her mentor.

She told another Instagram follower that she has given up marijuana in addition to alcohol.

“It’s not off the table for me cus I do see weed as medicinal,” she wrote. “I’ve just not had a desire for it.”
