Cheryl Burke Opens Up About Sobriety on Sober Motivation

To say that I just turned to faith or have faith or turned to God whenever I'm in a rut would be a lie. I think the alcohol brought out that ego or that egotistical side that I thought equaled confidence, that made me able to go to red carpets and all of that, but it really was not who I truly was.
