Zest it was random cuz she was sober for 6 years

[@faithF8]

Zest I have to agree. No relapse of this kind is random. Especially after such a long time being sober. I can almost bet that she struggled for quite some time with something and then there was a drop that spilled. I just really hope she doesn't think of herself as a failure because of this, especially considering how vocal she was about her issues.

[@deselby9448]

yeah, she will probably do like last time and blame everybody but herself for her drug use. she has always been a very selfish person

it wasnt random that she overdose. she was sober for 6 years and went back to taking big hits like she use to do. her brain and body was ready for it because of being 6 years sober. that couldve killed her.

When I was a preteen, some of my friends would try to smoke or drink alcohol, so I'm not surprised at all. I can't tell you what to do, but I will warn you; getting yourself involved with drugs or alcohol can have lasting effects, and none of them are good for your mind or body. You're still young, so you should enjoy life doing the things that you love. You might think it's fun now, but those drugs will slowly start to turn into an addiction that will be very hard to get out of in the future. Be careful little one.

[@aee6317]

Addiction is real, and it does not discriminate. I am praying for her! You got this, Demi! Keep your head up, girl!

God is real and His son's blood is real. Deliverance is real. Demi needs to get deliverance through Jesus Christ and change her life before it's TOO LATE! Everyone is sorry in hell but for most the JUDGEMENT IS FINAL. Don't play with God.

[@efilwv1635]

People do drugs because life inherently sucks! Our capacity to feel pain vs our capacity to feel pleasure is incredibly asymmetrical. An orgasm doesn’t feel as good as a broken bone feels bad for example. People do drugs (I have an alcohol problem) in order to try and balance things out. The crappy part is, the good feelings don’t last for long.

As you might think I'm talking out of my ass but lsd was a proven method in 50s and 60s before the government banned it without looking at the research.

[@cierrasearle1397]

Angie Penny She probably didn’t mean to OD. Lots of people who go sober/detox for a long period of time lose their tolerance. So she may have taken the same amount that used to give her a high, but because she lost that tolerance she ODed. Stop making her a criminal for ODing, she obviously wasn’t in the right state of mind. Someone I knew ODed on Anti-Depression pills and died, he only had a couple months detox, and wasn’t suicidal.

Derek A, it's not a step. It's simply a part of the healing process. Each relapse makes someone more resilient. I could sit here all day and discuss all the facets of the human condition, and how they correlate to the disease of addiction. But I would prefer to help people who are struggling with addiction, as I do.

[@eugeniacxanazcraftbuddhamu1849]

The Adventures of Jett & Cash ROFLOL. Is this a joke? Sounds like the perfect excuse to booze and drug.

[@Stonktradomus]

eugeniacxanaz craftbuddhamusicrainzyxp, Addiction is a brain disease; a lifelong brain disease with adverse biological, neurological, genetic, psychological, and sociological implications. The disease of addiction is also a spiritual sickness. Remember, we must be healthy mentally, physically and spiritually to be in optimum health. I have studied anatomy, and the disease of addiction for many years. The human condition is complex web that we should all enlighten ourselves to. Please feel free to visit a Facebook self help group that I founded, "Heroin Epidemic Help". We have addiction specialists on standby 24/7 at facebook.com/groups/548338051970019/. There is alot of very helpful information there. Check it out. Then decide for yourself. I am not ashamed to admit that I am a recovering addict of 20 years of use. I never counted relapses. I just learned from them. Today, I am a business owner, and single father of 5 boys; most fulfilling, but hardest job in the world. Through my use, I have helped many others to manage the disease of addiction. I say manage, because there is no cure. Through helping others, I have helped myself. This individual must completely change their thinking, thus behavior. It is a profoundly difficult challenge that tests ones resilience and endurance. Because the people, places and things in ones life must also completely change to recover. People downplay the difficulties of recovery when they do not understand how much must really change, and the fact that we all grow and improve differently. Because of this, people create stigma surrounding the addict, rather than understanding the disease, and supporting the addict. People aren't perfect, and addicts are no different. Imagine if you had a biochemical imbalance, and the only relief you found was through a drug. A psychiatrist must be diligent and determine a proactive plan of recovery. An addicts brain works differently. Many addicts are low in certain "feel good" neurotransmitters. (Understanding synapse and receptor function is helpful). I highly recommend that any recovering addict get a genealogy test to help determine the imbalance more specifically. This makes it easier for a psychiatrist to make a diagnosis, and prescribe a medication or medications to help the recovering addict to think and feel better. Together, we must all fight the disease of addiction with knowledge of the disease. I have had opportunities to help others manage the disease of addiction. I have never met an addict who has never relapsed at some point in life. Just a a baby stumbles when learning to walk, addicts stumble when learning to completely change their thinking, behavior, habits, people, places and things in their life. Seek first to understand before being understood.

Never heard of her before but i listened to that song and its very heartfelt regardess of whether she wrote it or not she does a great job covering it. I can tell you there's no way she's been sober for six years and I hate that people always have to hide their "relapse" like its shame. I dont think that helps anyone. I hope she gets the help she needs. There's no reason to feel this type of pressure. She doesn't owe anything to anyone else. Fans, media, family... no one. Sobriety is a personal choice. People who do not suffer from mental health disorders have absolutely no idea what it's like to live sober and how horrible it truly is. The only reason anyone seeks help is that Living with a substance abuse problem eventually becomes worse.

[@JustinWadeShorts]

Did he really say that there’s nothing wrong with overdosing? And they are comparing cancer that people can’t control with substance abuse that’s controlled? I use to love pain pills, and when people say it’s a disease is an excuse for their actions. A victim mentality. A way for people to make money off of it because if it’s a disease then you must need medical attention and people profit from it.

I don't understand why addiction is looked at as something that happens to you, not something you inflict upon yourself. People obviously can't control what substances are addictive, but they can choose whether or not to use them in the first place. She had been sober for 6 years and chose to use again. I come from a family full of addicts, and I still have a hard time with that. I hope she recovers and continues to make the wise decisions that kept her sober for 6 years.

[@travishartman5662]

As a recovering addict myself ( 3 years in October😄) I know all too well the shame that comes when one relapses after a significant amount of time clean and sober. This shame can cause severe depression, heavier usage than ever before, and worse.. suicidal ideation and possible attempts ( I know all of this all too well) & death ( you are WORTH LIFE Demi). I pray to God that my fellow sister Demi can recover successfully from this overdose and get the help she so desperately needs before the guilt and shame creates more despair.

Yes, cause having everything in the world takes away pain you've endured from others. I'm not saying it's okay to OD. But seriously? Are you that dense and simple minded? Addiction to drugs doesn't discriminate. It doesn't care about your race, class, religion, sex, age, wealth, etc.

[@Jacob32905]

Obviously personal choice comes in to play when a person decides whether or not to use a certain substance. No one denies that. The ignorance here is staggering. Read the literature . Quote the sources. Have some sort of thought out opinion that goes beyond how you "feel" about the "behavior" of addicts. Addiction and it's causes and how it changes your brain have been extensively studied and are well reviewed and documented by both the scientific and academic community . It's way beyond just calling someone stupid and saying they made bad decisions and therefore deserve to die. The girl is sick and she deserves our compassion. . If you're like 12 and saying this shit, fine. But it boggles my mind that there are actual adult human beings that are this fucking heartless and ignorant in the world.

[@arty8703]

This whole comment section is the deffinition of irony. If someone says they want her to die, why would you even care? She's not gonna die just because someone wishes her to die. Even if she comits suicide that's also her choice, again. People don't care because they have no reason to care. The ones who do care are most likely biased fans, who wouldn't care if it was just another junkie. In fact they'd mostly likely say the same ignorant shit about someone else whom they're not a fan of. I don't see what boggles your mind so much. You're stressing yourself over something pointless. People are like that and it's best to accept it and move on, minding your own bussines.

[@welbiltmafia]

It's 100% her personal choice and fault. Regardless of academic literature, at the end of the day unless your body was taken over and physically forced the drug down your throat, it is 100% your fault for taking drugs. End of story, period.

[@welbiltmafia]

She's a junky. That's it. Stop lying to yourself that she's anything else.

[@claudiaivy104]

You have to understand the background story. She had taken certain pain medication to help overcome and injury she sustained when she was younger. This led to her becoming addicted to the pain killers and ultimately led to her abuse of other drugs as well. Drug addiction is extremely hard to overcome so unless you have something supportive to say, maybe just don’t speak at all.

[@johny303tv8]

FUNNY SMS lol what a loser,just watch :45 seconds into her documentary she tells everybody what a crackhead loser she lol...

[@welbiltmafia]

She's weak. We all know it. Inspiration is a word given to those who don't fall to addiction. She doesn't embody the word.

[@welbiltmafia]

All I hear are excuses. Whenever I fail or feel terrible, I NEVER blame it on others, but only myself and think how I can improve. Blaming her drug addiction on pain and bullying is BS. Weak willed are those who cry in pain and commit suicide when bullied. Strong willed are those who rise.

Why are we praying and caring for her and not others? There's people in poverty and in your own town experiencing this everyday and nobody cares for them. They are seen as dirty people who have no life and just ask for money to buy drugs. It's "don't talk to them" on the streets in New York but it's "we need to help her" because she's a celebrity?

Demi has a better track record. She brought happiness and smiles to a lot more kids than the homeless people on the streets. What have the random addicts on the NYC streets done? Not as much as Demi. But i do think everyone who goes through this problem should be cared for and not frowned upon.

[@mdledford413]

Research everything Demi has done for others. She deserves our support at the very least. She is a kind and compassionate person.

[@kiakaha110]

In your ideal world, we should ignore everyone with problems then? What's so wrong about wishing someone to have good health? The only thing I got out of your paragraph was that *you* look down on the homeless. There's many many people that will go out of their way to support people on the streets, so speak for yourself.

[@blaze.eliana]

Cross OveR I'm not saying that we should ignore people's health problems. What I'm saying is that it's such a big deal when a celebrity overdoses when it's a big deal anyways. It's very looked over. You can't tell me that if you saw a homeless person on the streets that you wouldn't stay away from them. The first encounter I had with a homeless person was in San Francisco. I was young and he told me, "Stay away from people like me. There are some of us that are good and some of us that will do bad things. I don't always looks like this but it's just best to stay away from everyone that looks like me."

[@Matt-tn7xp]

I also have a relapse and it is very difficult to leave, I hope the best for her and every person that suffer from mental disorders and addictions

[@tabithadeynes3008]

Demi you are to beautiful to go down this tragic path. You have a wonderful voice. There are so many young girls that would give there life to be in your place.

[@A15Iron]

No mention of law violations?!?!

[@crazicrafters8781]

Michael Fuentes never is, it seems unimportant. Now I’m wishing Demi best of luck and hoping and praying she will pull thru, but apparently the illegal aspect just doesn’t matter. It’s because “oh she’s sick, she shouldn’t be in jail”, “she’s so famous, she can’t go to jail.” Yes, she can, she should be treated like any other person whose been on drugs. She should suffer the same consequences, regardless of what might happen after that. I’m sorry, but that’s the truth.

[@natashahart25]

They said there was none found in her home so they can't charge her.

[@A15Iron]

NatashaNicole I mean they found it in her system and using heroin and meth is illegal to use so ?!?!

[@natashahart25]

Michael Fuentes well it wasn't H. TMZ said it was. Then they went back and said it wasnt. Honesty to much of anything could make you od. So until Demi tells us what it was, we will never know. But she probably will. She has always been super honest.

[@ermaallen537]

Michael Fuentes When did going into a comma become a violation?

[@ivalinapasse2469]

Demi will pull through keep your team that help you. Keep them around. Be healed and be blessed. May God take away that addiction in Jesus name Amen Amen Amen.

Wow I'm impressed by how much support and encouragement they gave. The media could be so damn evil. Look what they did to Britney spears. They tore her down & it's no surprise she hasn't been the same since. Demi we know you can fight through this storm.

[@denisgauthier9191]

Demi I know you can fight this drug overdoses I believe in you

[@danig7173]

All I want to say about this is I really do hope she gets help and I’m so glad she is getting support BUT... I hope you are this supportive towards any addict on the street!

[@because0011]

What a beautiful talented young lady. Hope she gets better soon.

[@malonso212004]

I’m sorry I know addicts need help and understanding and no one would attack someone that needs help. However, I can’t compare an addict to a cancer patient. A cancer patient doesn’t get a choice in the matter. Demi chose to be sober for 6 years. A cancer patient doesn’t get to choose their remission term. Again, I get how addiction works and there is nothing but love for Demi and all that suffer like her. However, it’s not at all like cancer.

[@awkwardpotato5304]

Oh my gosh! Is she ok? 😱

[@k.e.c.8893]

Gamer_ Girl she’s not, she’s foaming at mouth, must of been a sight to see, her shooting a heroin filled needle in her arm. Kicking, eyes rolling back, chocking!!! She’ll be fine, until her next OD

Why the only TIME Y'ALL Wanna pray is when someone is in danger in the hospital or Dead?! What about praying on the Daily basis???! And Are you praying to my God The God of the Universe who made Heaven and Earth or pray to your idol god's? Repent of your Sins and Get Right with God. ❤️💯🙏

[@nbfoxx]

you shouldn't push that on people because there are so many different religions and some people just dont believe.

[@NovaCattt]

I love God as well but you can’t expect a news station to start every report with a prayer. Not every person believes in the same things you do. Not having the same views doesn’t make them sinners either.

[@Aztllan]

Don’t pray at all, it’s most useless thing you could do

[@patsypats8307]

Rachel Martin I pray on a daily basis and you don’t know what people are doing. If people are vocal about praying when a tragedy happens it’s because sometimes that is the one thing you can do to help. Stop pointing fingers and just welcome the prayers of people like God wants.

This is so sad. My prayers are with you. Its not her fault that she got addicted to some form of drugs, they are very addictive.. She is an amazing singer and was trying hard to stay sober.. Dont blame her people.. 😢😢

[@mdledford413]

Demi please don't let this beat you. You are such a compassionate and valuable human being. You have done so much for others. Don't let it take your life like it's taken so many others. You can do this. Fall down but get back up again. My heart hurts for you Demi. This is not how your story ends. You got this! 💕💖💜💗💓💘💞💝

[@MsTropicalRookie]

Did Robin Roberts just compare having a terminal disease like cancer to a person willingly taking drugs? CANCER IS NOT AN ADDICTION.I have no comment about Lovato but my goodness that comparison Roberts made was just ridiculous and an insult to people everywhere with cancer. Being that she has had cancer she should know cancer returning is not comparable to a drug addicts relapse. Not saying people should point fingers at addicts who relapse but people don't point fingers at people whose cancer returns because cancer is NOT AN ADDICTION ROBIN!

Now you are speaking sense. Honey, refer back to your earlier comment, "when her money and friends runt out she'll be sucking some 80 year old dick" , to what level is this comment appropriate to anyone, not to mention Demi who is being hospitalized and is in the worst state of her life? I am not supporting drugs in anyway. Did I say I did in my comment? No. There is no need to attack her with rude words. We can speak like a decent, educated human being to each other. Do I make my points clear? Now, stop attacking her and other people in the way you did because it is disrespectful. There is no need to put another human being down. All is needed is words of encouragement for her to stop relapsing and finally get out of this illness for good.
