Demi Lovato is getting very candid about their sobriety.
The 29-year-old singer took to social media on Thursday (December 2) to open up about how sober they are now choosing to be.
They wrote a simple yet very telling message on their Instagram Story, which read:
“I no longer support my ‘California sober’ ways.
Sober sober is the only way to be.”
Demi suffered a near-fatal overdose back in 2018. Earlier this year, they opened up about their decision to go “California sober,” saying:
“‘California Sober’ is extremely important because [it] represents an alternate path to the recovery that I’ve been taught… the past 10 years of dealing with this stuff. It’s not saying that this works for everybody, but it’s saying that that other solution isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution and there’s options.”
They clarified then that the term was not something they just made up:
“I didn’t make up this term, right? I just heard it, and was like, ‘Oh, that sounds green and applies to me.’ But I think that different people have different meanings for it. So, it might be moderation to some people, it might be only natural things to some people.”
And they also touched on their recovery:
“For me, I’ve decided that I’m probably never going to discuss the parameters surrounding my recovery and what that looks like. Because when I do get into details with people, it just kind of opens myself up for more scrutiny than I need.
The only criticism I need is from my treatment team, and if what we’re doing right now is working for me, then I’m gonna keep it between me and them.”
