Demi Lovato has stated that she has not given up on her substance use, totally, but does have it under control.
Demi Lovato Looking To Control Her Alcohol And Drug Use
The star had nearly died from substance abuse in the past, but after having recently managed her eating disorder, she is taking the same steps when it comes to her usage. In an interview with Glamour, Demi spoke on how a conversation with her rehab manager led to this decision. She said: “I called [my recovery case manager, Charles Cook] and was like, ‘Something’s not right.
“I’m living one side of my life completely legalizing and this other side following a program that’s telling me if I slip up, I’m going to die. I think I want to try this balance thing in the substance side of my life too.” Naturally, fans are going to get worried and see this as a sign of Demi having a relapse. After all, it is very difficult to control your intake of substances especially if you have had an addiction.
Any bad periods in your life, could lead to someone going back to square one. But this is Demi, remember. She added: “A one-size-fits-all solution does not work for everybody. Any path that is right for someone else does not mean that it is an effective, meaningful, safe path for you. What I’m encouraging people to do is just make choices for themselves. Autonomy, for me, is what changed my life.”
So what does the past tell us? Well, it does not look very good. In 2018, she was taken to hospital following a drug overdose which left the world in shock. The consequences were fatal as she had been diagnosed with brain damage, which has stayed with her ever since.
In a previous interview with Television Critics Association, Demi said: “I was left with brain damage, and I still deal with the effects of that today. I also for a long time had a really hard time reading. It was a really big deal when I was able to read out of a book, like, two months later because my vision was so blurry.”
