Sober Stars

These straighted­ge stars are high on life!

- BY JENNIFER PICHT

The host of Red Table Talk has been open about her history with substance abuse, from growing up in a “war zone” of drug addiction and poverty to her own struggles with alcohol as an adult. She’s been sober for more than 20 years, but “those psychologi­cal patterns that once would make me drink… are creeping back in,” she said of quarantine. To combat the urge, she said she’s had

to “deepen my faith.”

Once the proud poster girl for pot, Cyrus shocked the world in June when she told

Variety podcast The Big Ticket that since a “big vocal surgery” in November 2019, she’s been “living a sober lifestyle because I really wanted to polish up my craft.” Which doesn’t mean it’s

easy. “Especially being

young,” she added, “there’s that stigma of ‘You’re no fun.’ It’s like, ‘Honey, you can call me a lot of things, but I know that I’m fun.’”
