## Cara Delevingne felt paranoid
Cara Delevingne used to feel paranoid about people's perceptions during her sobriety journey.

> I think when I was younger, when I was in my 20s, I was so unaware of what people thought because I was young and I was free and carefree in a way. And I think getting sober, I got very paranoid about people thinking that I was sober or trying to persuade people that I’m serious.
## Cara's view changed
Cara now says people who know know, and she wants to live life without worrying about how she's perceived.

> I’m like, you know what? The people that know know, and I just want to live life again like I am enjoying it instead of thinking about how I look or how it’s perceived.
## Sobriety lessons
Cara says she learned to unlearn younger habits but now focuses on growing with age.

> There was a lot of stuff that in my younger self I’ve had to unlearn. But that specifically, I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to take that and run forward with it.’ That’s the thing about growing up.
## Debut album progress
Cara has worked on her debut album Not Normal for three years, calling it a life-long project.

> I’ve been working on it for three years. It’s something I’ve put so much time into and I actually feel like I’ve been working on it for my whole life because it’s all been leading up to this.
## Key takeaway

Cara Delevingne says her sobriety journey made her paranoid about people's perceptions but she now focuses on living life without worrying about how she's seen.
