Demi Lovato is celebrating a major life milestone.
On Thursday morning, the "Sorry Not Sorry" singer took to Twitter to celebrate her anniversary of being sober.
The star wrote, "Just officially turned 6 years sober. So grateful for another year of joy, health, and happiness. It IS possible."

Lovato has been open about her past struggles with drugs, bipolar disorder and a battle with bulimia, and recently came clean about her struggle to stay sober in a new interview with Billboard Magazine, where she confessed that she almost relapsed at the 2016 Met Gala.
“I had a terrible experience,” Lovato told the mag. “This one celebrity was a complete bitch and was miserable to be around. It was very cliquey. I remember being so uncomfortable that I wanted to drink.”

“I changed my clothes, but I still had my diamonds on — millions of dollars of diamonds on in an AA meeting,” Lovato said. “And I related more to the homeless people in that meeting who struggled with the same struggles that I deal with than the people at the Met Gala — fake and sucking the fashion industry’s d---.”
In October, Lovato released a personal documentary on YouTube detailing her road to sobriety. The 25-year-old singer admitted that she feels better when she can hold herself accountable and can be honest and open about her struggle.
