Elle Macpherson has opened up about her secret battle with alcohol addiction, revealing she used to drink heavily after putting her children to sleep.
The supermodel, 60, who is now more than 20 years sober, unveiled her alcoholism in her memoir Life, Lessons, and Learning to Trust Yourself, which was released in Australia on Tuesday.
'The father of my children was living in another country and he was only home on the weekends. I was at home with the kids and that's what I did.' She added that her battle with alcoholism and the obsessive vomiting after drinking stemmed from 'trying to control the outside world so I would feel at peace inside'.
