Taking to Instagram Margot wrote: “Being on Below Deck was undoubtedly the hardest thing I’ve ever done. I felt like a complete wreck the entire time. As an introvert with social anxiety who uses alcohol to mask my insecurities, I often question why I ever thought going on the show would have been a good idea.

“Seeing myself turn to alcohol as a coping mechanism repeatedly throughout the season was really sad and painful to watch. I consistently drank myself into oblivion, using alcohol to blot out earlier experiences, to numb the stress, to numb the exhaustion, and to silence all of my insecurities.
“Alcohol is highly addictive. It’s not as easy as saying “I’m never drinking again” and effortlessly sticking to it. The environment I was in was not the place for me (or anyone) to get sober. That’s simply not how the brain works, and I think it’s very important to acknowledge that.”

Fans instantly flocked to the comments section of her post to wish her the best with one person writing: “You should be so proud of yourself for recognizing it was a problem, handling it, AND for sharing this with the world.”
Another penned: “Love you, Margie!!! So proud of you.” While a third wrote:” Thank you for sharing this. So many deckies seem to have an unhealthy relationship with alcohol. Taking care of yourself is the most important thing. “
