Cara Delevingne almost died from an overdose while attempting to get sober

Cara Delevingne almost died from an overdose while attempting to get sober.

The 33-year-old model, actress, and musician realised she needed to change after she began losing work, but she "couldn't deal" with the ways she had messed up and ended up taking too many substances, which led to her needing to be revived by medics.

Speaking on The Louis Theroux Podcast, she said: "It went super quiet. Everyone went very silent.

"And I knew I needed to get sober, so I medically was weaned off GBL, which probably is the hardest one to come off.

"But I couldn't do it at home. I couldn't deal because the more sober I got, the more I realised how badly I f***** up, and that just was too much.

"So, I couldn't stay sober, and then I overdosed because I think there was opiates in the cocaine I think I'd bought or something.

"I was narcanned [given a dose of naloxone, which reverses the impacts of opioid overdose], was in hospital, and that's really when everything happened because when I woke up....

"[It was] the ambulance people. It's heavy. I was being held down by men to a thing, and I didn't know what was happening. It was horrible.

"My girlfriend [had] called the police. The ambulance, police, whatever. Horrible for her."
