Demi Lovato Says She Is “California Sober”

In her new docuseries Demi Lovato: Dancing with the Devil, the singer/actress gets incredibly candid about her past drug use and struggle with addiction, including details about her overdose in 2018. But Demi also recently shared in a new interview that she is currently “California sober.”

“I think the term that I best identify with is ‘California sober,'” the “Anyone” singer said on the latest Joe Rogan Podcast.

Demi shared in the documentary that she’s been “smoking weed and drinking in moderation,” things that most people with a history of substance abuse issues typically try to steer clear of.

“I’ve learned that it doesn’t work for me to say that I’m never going to do this again,” she said. “I know I’m done with the stuff that’s going to kill me, right?”

Demi said that swearing off alcohol and marijuana entirely is just “setting myself up for failure because I am such a black-and-white thinker.” She added, “I had it drilled into my head for so many years that one drink was equivalent to a crack pipe…At the end of the day, I feel good about the choices I am making, and feel strong in my belief.”

Go Demi! We love to see it.
