Demi Lovato is 90 days sober, mother says
Demi Lovato has reached a milestone in her recovery, three months after overdosing.
Her mother, Dianna De La Garza, appeared on Maria Menounos’ Sirius XM podcast Friday, where she revealed that the “Skyscraper” singer is 90 days sober.
“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,” De La Garza, 56, said on “Conversations with Maria Menounos.”
“It’s very hard, it’s not easy, and there are no shortcuts,” the mother of three said about sobriety, adding that she “can’t really say for sure” what triggered Lovato’s relapse in July.
