Demi Lovato revealed that after almost eight months of being completely sober, they “rarely” think about drugs anymore.
“I’m in such an acceptance of my life as it is that I really rarely think about fabrics, which is a beautiful thing and something I never thought would happen to me,” said the pop star on Boston radio station Mix 104.1 . on Thursday.
“And I just realized that none of that works for me. What has come into my life is acceptance.”
Lovato – who is non-binary and uses pronouns – explained that it took them so long to completely abolish alcohol and drugs because they didn’t really have the desire.
“I had people around me who wanted me to be sober,” said the 29-year-old singer. “I don’t think I wanted it. And now I’ve made all the negotiating choices and realized that none of that works for me.”
Despite their near-fatal overdose in 2018, which left them with three strokes and a heart attack, Lovato maintained a “sober” lifestyle in California and still drank alcohol and smoked weed in moderation.
However, in December 2021, Lovato announced that they “no longer support my ‘Californian sober’ ways.”
The “Sorry Not Sorry” crooner added, “Sober sober is the only way to be.”
To celebrate their new journey, Lovato made their most recent album, “Holy Fvck”, completely sober.
“When I went through more stuff last year, I came back out of treatment and I realized, I really want to do this for myself and I want to make the best album possible, something that really represents who I am,” Lovato told Jimmy Fallon on “The Tonight Show” in June.
“The best way to do that and the easiest way to do something authentic is to do it clean and sober. I made this album clean and sober. I can’t say that about my latest album, but I’m really proud of this one.”
