She continued, “So many times I wanted to relapse but sat on my hands and begged God to relieve the obsession. I’m so proud of myself but I couldn’t have done it without my higher power (God), my family, friends, and everyone else who supported me. Feeling humbled and joyful today. Thank you guys for sticking by my side and believing in me.”
Well, kudos to the star! Demi Lovato who checked into rehab in 2010 for three months after being diagnosed with bipolar disorder, has since been an activist for mental health issues and encourages self-love to her fans through her music. 💕
