Overview
- Reeh sent a private message to friends and partners that BILD published and then confirmed in an exclusive FOCUS online interview that he has stopped drinking.
- He says the decision came after he no longer felt in control of his alcohol use and that his public role as a TV chef and host influenced his choice to be open.
- Reeh says he has begun using the Alcoholics Anonymous daily line “Today I do not drink” as his practical rule for recovery and that he has studied AA materials.
- So far no outlets report that Reeh has entered formal clinical treatment or scheduled a break from professional work, and there are no reports of relapse.
- Reeh’s disclosure comes against a 20-plus year TV career and a new 2026 stage partnership called Die Herzileins, and he says his openness is meant to help others who face similar struggles.
