praying for @ddlovato and her health. When I was 14, she was an idol to me in how she spoke so openly about mental health. And now she continues to inspire thousands of young men and women with her body positivity messages. Addiction and mental illness doesn’t discriminate. 💔

Lovato announced through her new single “Sober” that she relapsed after being sober for six years. The singer has been battling addiction since she was 17. In her documentary Simply Complicated she talked about her drug and alcohol abuse.
“My first time doing coke, I was 17 working on Disney Channel, and I was with a couple of friends and they introduced me to it,” Lovato explained. “I was scared because my mom always told me that our heart could burst if you do it. But I did it anyways and I love it. I felt out of control with the coke the first time that I did it.”
Besides celebrities, fans have been sending their well wishes to the singer. The state of her condition is still unknown. Obviously, everyone is hoping for the best.
Ugh. This Demi Lovato news. Addiction is a horrific and heartbreaking disease. I’ve talked to her so many times about her struggles with sobriety over the years and this news hurts my heart. Hope she gets the help she needs. 💔💔💔
