Recently, Vanessa Mdee declared that she no longer drinks and that it has been four years since she last had an alcoholic beverage.
"I don't drink alcohol I'm almost four years without an alcoholic beverage and I'm so proud of myself. It's one of the best decisions I've ever made," she announced.
She has now come out to explain why she stopped drinking.
"When I was in the entertainment industry, I had a lot of stress and to cope with the stress and to escape a lot of depression, I drank a lot. I was a functional alcoholic. I would do everything perfectly actually but towards the end that's in 2018, I drank every night to go to sleep and it was an unhealthy lifestyle," she said on TikTok.
She added;
"As I got close to God, the Holy Spirit convicted me to stop drinking and after a very personal traumatic experience I decided to quit drinking forever."
Mdee, her fiancé Rotimi, and their two children have been residing in the United States.
She claimed that accepting Christ as her Saviour was the best thing she had ever done for herself in a previous TikTok video.
"I was depressed and exhausted at the height of my career, I kept going but I was sick and was a workaholic suffering inside."
Further adding;
"I had the greatest fans in the world but I needed true happiness because all that glitters is not gold.
"My spirit wasn't at peace so something needed to change. I surrendered and said God you can have my heart. Jesus blessed me. healed me and continues to work on me."
