Demi Lovato’s Mom Revealed Important News About The Star’s Recovery

Demi Lovato’s mom, Diana De La Garza, revealed some news about the star’s recovery as a guest on Maria Menunos’ Sirius XM radio show, Conversations with Maria Menunos, on Friday. She told listeners that Demi has been sober for 90 days — a major milestone in her sobriety journey. According to People, Diana said, “Yes, she has 90 days and I couldn’t be more thankful or more proud of her because addiction being a disease, it’s work… it’s very hard, it’s not easy, and there are no shortcuts.”

According to reporting by TMZ, Lovato was hospitalized on July 24th after an apparent overdose. One of her representatives issued a statement following the incident, and Demi also released a statement to her fans on Instagram. She wrote, “I have always been transparent about my journey with addiction. What I’ve learned is that this illness is not something that disappears or fades with time. It is something I must continue to overcome and I have not done yet… I will keep fighting.”

In June, Demi released her single, “Sober,” in which she sings, “Momma, I’m so sorry, I’m not sober anymore,” revealing that she may have relapsed despite celebrating six years of sobriety at a Barclays Center Show early this year.

Despite her previous struggles with addiction, mental illness, and an eating disorder, it sounds like the singer is doing well with support from friends, family, and her fans. However, it’s always important to remember that addiction is a daily battle — but recovery is possible.

We are sending all our love to Demi and her family during her journey to sobriety.
