Kourtney Kardashian recently revealed she has maintained her sobriety for three years, a journey that began with a personal decision related to her relationship with Travis Barker.
The announcement came via her Instagram Stories, where Kourtney shared the news while commenting on a misunderstanding during a product promotion. She was advertising a new flavor for Khloe Kardashian’s protein popcorn brand, Khloud, and was mistakenly offered what she thought was an alcoholic beverage.
In the post, titled ‘Fancy Friday’, she expressed her surprise at being given a gin mocktail, clarifying her long-standing sobriety. She wrote, “@Khloudfoods @KhloeKardashian def told them I haven’t drank alcohol in three years.”
In the accompanying video, a representative from Khloud introduced the new popcorn flavor as a ‘pop of luxury’, pairing it with a zero-proof gin mocktail to complement the treat. Kourtney, however, was concerned about maintaining her three-year streak of avoiding alcohol.
Kourtney’s decision to quit drinking was initially hinted at on the show “The Kardashians” in 2022. She discussed a Panchakarma cleanse she did a decade prior and suggested it to Travis as they prepared for a baby.
During the cleanse, she abstained from alcohol to improve her IVF success rates. This lifestyle change, alongside other adjustments, led to the natural conception of their son, Rocky, born in November 2023.
Kourtney shared with Vanity Fair Italia that she adhered to doctors’ guidelines during her pregnancy, which included avoiding workouts, caffeine, plane trips, and even sex.
Reflecting on her IVF experience, Kourtney realized that following her instincts was essential. She stated, “The truth is, I felt like I was doing something that wasn’t right for me. My intuition was telling me that it wasn’t suitable for me.”
