In a March 2023 interview with Vogue, Delevingne opened up about how hitting rock bottom allowed her to finally rip off the band-aid when it came to her excessive substance use.

"I’ve had interventions of a sort, but I wasn’t ready. That’s the problem," she admitted. "If you’re not face-first on the floor and ready to get up again, you won’t. At that point, I really was."

"I hadn’t seen a therapist in three years," the Only Murders in the Building actress confessed. "I just kind of pushed everyone away, which made me realize how much I was in a bad place. I always thought that the work needs to be done when the times are bad, but actually the work needs to be done when they’re good. The work needs to be done consistently. It’s never going to be fixed or fully healed but I’m okay with that, and that’s the difference."

"It’s the small things, because, my God, I wanted to quit smoking too, but right now it’s too much," she reflected more than one year ago. "At first I was exploring all the avenues, seeing what was best for me, seeing if medication was necessary. Putting everything — work, every obligation —aside and just asking myself, ‘What do I need in this time?’”

"This process obviously has its ups and downs, but I’ve started realizing so much. People want my story to be this after-school special where I just say, ‘Oh look, I was an addict, and now I’m sober and that’s it.’ And it’s not as simple as that. It doesn’t happen overnight," she explained.

Delevingne concluded: "Of course I want things to be instant— I think this generation especially, we want things to happen quickly — but I’ve had to dig deeper."
