She finally admitted that she isn’t sober and doesn’t plan on it

All last year, this former tweener actress turned A- list adult singer could read the blind items and reveals I wrote about her not being sober.

It wasn’t until she needed more attention that she finally admitted that she isn’t sober and doesn’t plan on it, so she can’t be called out about it any longer.

She’s right.

She also knows that if she isn’t trying to be sober, she will slide down a path that will have her dead by the end of the year.

Demi Lovato Calls Herself ‘California Sober’ — Here’s What That Means

Demi Lovato’s “California sober” lifestyle isn’t sobriety at all, according to Ken Seeley, an interventionist and trauma professional. After the 28-year-old singer revealed that she’s not completely sober following her 2018 overdose, she used the term “California sober” to describe her current lifestyle.

Lovato first shared that she’s not fully sober on her YouTube docuseries, Demi Lovato: Dancing With the Devil, revealing that she’s “been smoking weed and drinking in moderation.”

“I’ve learned that it doesn’t work for me to say that I’m never going to do this again. I know I’m done with the stuff that’s going to kill me, right?” she said in the docuseries. “Telling myself that I can never have a drink or smoke marijuana, I feel like that’s setting myself up for failure because I am such a black-and-white thinker. I had it drilled into my head for so many years that one drink was equivalent to a crack pipe.”

For Seeley, though, who considers the term “California sober” to mean using drugs or alcohol “in moderation,” anything short of complete abstinence cannot and should not be considered sobriety.

“You might not do heroin, but you may smoke pot. But the reality here [is that there] is no moderation for people that suffer with addiction,” he told ET. “… You can’t just turn it off.”

Seeley, who’s been sober himself for 31 years, takes offense to the term itself, too.

“I think the term ‘California sober’ is quite disrespectful to the sober community,” he said. “I know a lot of people that work really hard to hold their abstinence and fight for their lives in recovery and to bring up this new term, ‘California sober,’ is so inappropriate.”

Seeley thinks “making up” the term “California sober” is not only inappropriate, but also dangerous. – Source
