In the new issue of Cosmopolitan for Latinas, Demi Lovato is opening up about living sober after battling issues with substance abuse and cutting.
Recounting her 21st birthday trip to Africa last summer, Lovato dished, “I was used to drinking and doing drugs on my birthday. I always imagined my 21st being a huge party where I’d get [drunk] and go crazy. But I realized that there’s so much more to life than that.” Lovato says she hopes she can be a strong role model for young girls and fans, revealing “When I was younger, I needed someone in the spotlight to idolize, who stood for positivity and light and happiness… I want to do that, if only for my 12-year-old little sister.”
