Elle Macpherson marks major 20-year milestone

<p>Aussie supermodel Elle Macpherson has celebrated two incredible milestones this week. </p> <p>The 59-year-old, nicknamed "The Body" during her modelling years, took to Instagram to celebrate her one-year anniversary with her American musician boyfriend, Doyle Bramhall. </p> <p>''Life beyond my wildest dreams they say," she captioned the series of photos of the pair travelling the world together. </p> <p>The post also marked 20 years of sobriety for Macpherson, who recently shared her <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Cwp_ytApolL/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&amp;igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Alcoholics Anonymous badge</a> to celebrate the milestone. </p> <p>"As I celebrate my 20 years anniversary this week… I am also celebrating 365+days of heart expanding bliss," she continued in the tribute dedicated to her blossoming relationship with Bramhall. </p> <p>"Our friend @ninamorris calls us Nomadic Lovers - So I've chosen some of my favourite images from around the world," she added. </p> <p>She then listed all the different places they've been to together, which matched the photos on the slide. </p> <p>Among them, we see a picture of the pair kissing underneath the Eiffel Tower, exploring the Sahara desert in Morocco, and one of the shrines in Tokyo. </p> <p>"Real travel requires a maximum of unscheduled wandering, for there is no other way of discovering surprises and marvels, which, as I see it, is the only good reason for not staying at home," she added. </p> <blockquote class="instagram-media" style="background: #FFF;

David Campbell celebrates 8 years of sobriety

<p>David Campbell celebrates eight years of sobriety this week, and he couldn't be happier.</p> <p>The presenter took to Twitter to mark the milestone by announcing, "Been sober for 8 years this week. Best decision I made for myself, my family and my mental health. If you are thinking of it, know that it's wonderful."</p> <blockquote class="twitter-tweet"> <p dir="ltr" lang="en">Been sober for 8 years this week. Best decision I made for myself, my family and my mental health. If you are thinking of it, know that it’s wonderful</p> <p>— David Campbell OAM (@DavidCampbell73) <a href="https://twitter.com/DavidCampbell73/status/1514009764153688065?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">April 12, 2022</a></p></blockquote> <p>David was quickly flooded with Tweets celebrating his news that resonated with their own experiences.</p> <p>One fan wrote, "Congratulations David. I'm considering giving it up completely myself (anxiety is always worse when I tipple)," and another commented, "Agreed. Three years for me. Hardest thing I've ever done. But also the best that thing that I've ever done."</p> <p>"It's been two years for me now - huge congratulations to you sir!" shared a Tweeter.</p> <p>When David decided to become sober, he shared the moment he knew his drinking was an issue.</p> <p>It was when his then four-year-old son, Leo, commented, "That "Daddy isn't well."</p> <p>"I felt shame. I couldn't stand by and watch this be normalised with the next generation. I wanted to be a role model for him. I wanted to be the best father I could - I still do.</p> <p>"So I quit alcohol, and I have never been happier. Now a year on, I have tripled my number of children and my resolve," he told the publication.</p> <p>David's rocker dad Jimmy Barnes has also openly spoken about his addictions in his memoir Working Class Man. During an interview with Now To Love, Mahalia Barnes revealed why her family is so open to sharing their stories.</p> <p>"I think that being in the public profile, you do have less privacy, obviously. That's just how it works; it sort of comes with the territory.</p> <p>"And obviously, there are things that you can choose to keep private, or you can speak openly. But when it comes to talking about things like alcoholism and drug addiction or domestic violence, that are generally kept secret and kept in the shadows, I think the more people that can publicly talk about that stuff, the better.</p> <p>"It's not easy, it is vulnerable, but it's also really powerful and really important to do that because I think that there's a lot of stigmas that we have around those sorts of issues," said Mahalia.</p> <p>If you or anyone you know struggles with topics raised in this article, contact lifeline at any time on 13 11 14.</p> <p><em>Images: Instagram</em></p>
