It’s been two years now, and Real Housewives of Orange County star Gina Kirschenheiter revealed that’s still hasn’t had any alcohol, has remained sober, and is doing well.
The reality TV star talked a bit about it on her Orange County podcast with songwriter and producer Shane McNally and reiterated that she hasn’t taken a drink. However, she does sometimes indulge in a “natural” way to de-stress when the situation calls for it.

“Still sober? Yes, I am. I am California sober,” she shared. “Which means that I do not drink alcohol, but I do enjoy a little bit of the…”
“Cannabis,” Shane finished for her.
“Yes, cannabis,” she confirmed. Gina also added that she doesn’t have it every day. “But I like that I have that when I do something to have fun and relax or whatever,” she explained. “But it’s not a social thing like I never do that when I’m out. It’s like when I don’t have kids, and it’s late at night, and I just want to laugh at a movie and go to bed.”
She further added that she hasn’t had a drink in over two years and is going strong, and Shane added that he was already going on three years of sobriety.
“Good for you, Shane,” Gina said. “Good for us.”
Shane added that their ongoing sobriety and stories prove that it can be done, and you just have to commit to getting out of a lifestyle situation that is no longer beneficial to you.
Making a choice

Gina chose to stop drinking two years ago because, according to her, she felt like she was becoming reliant on alcohol and drinking way more than she used to, especially during the pandemic.
So she made a choice to quit cold turkey, which may not have been the easiest path but turned out to be the most suitable for her. She distracted herself by keeping busy and engaging in other happy distractions; before she knew it, time had passed.
Now, she continues to stay away from alcohol, though sometimes a little weed helps take the edge off when things get crazy.
