Demi Lovato’s Another Confession: Drug Abuse

Demi Lovato is experiencing one of the best moments of her 19-year-old life: she has just released a new music video for her hit song Give Your Heart A Break, she’s currently on a successful South American tour, and she recently showed off her healthy beach body in Brazil! But Demi, who spent three-months in rehab in November 2010 to treat physical and emotional issues-including cutting, bulimia, and bipolar disorder-is now opening up about how peer pressure and loneliness led her to experiment with drugs in the same 2010! Lovato tells Fabulous Magazine:

It’s something I don’t really want to talk about. What I can say is that I was depressed. I would come off stage in front of 18,000 people and suddenly be alone in a hotel room. I’d come crashing down and would try to find a way to recreate that feeling, to stay ‘up,”

Demi Lovato has confessed to using cocaine as a way to battle loneliness after appearing in front of thousands of fans.

And you know, I am shocked to learn who fueled Demi’s habit:

Promoters gave me drugs and alcohol in restaurants or clubs. They wanted me to come back so I would be seen there. They were basically kissing my ass.”

Forced into rehab in 2010 by her family, Demi says she’s thankful she ended her addiction before it became life-threatening. Demi said:

Being a celebrity can be dangerous. Nobody says ‘no’. That’s why so many end up overdosing and dying. It could definitely have happened to me.”

As I said, this isn’t the first time newly-confident Demi is opening up about her battle with depression. Last year, she opened up about her struggles to Good Morning America and Seventeen Magazine, and released this beautiful letter to her fans:
