Demi Lovato - Sober (Lyrics)

Clear example of how fame doesn’t bring you happiness on a plate

I relapsed yesterday, and can’t stop crying was 9 months clean and threw it all away.. this song brought me hope, I can come back ten times stronger

Listening to this after her “Dancing with the devil” documentary. 😔💔

I’m 32 days sober today & I bring myself here to tell you that you can do it ❤️ YOU got this.

This is probably the biggest scream for help that we've ignored

"it's only when I'm lonely" most true thing I've ever heard

When I left my mom I sent her this song. She called me crying and she turned herself into prison. She was in jail for a year and came home. She was sober for awhile and then relapsed again. I told her to remind herself about this song. She is now 2 years sober. I want to say if ur parent or Someone in your family is going threw that do what u can to help. I also want to say thank you to Demi for making this song, without this song I don’t think my mom would be where she is today. It still hits Everytime I hear it.

this song was literally my life for 6 years, being addicted to heroin/fentanyl. Hurting so many people that I loved the most.. all for a temporary high that left me crashing down deeper and deeper into a dark hole filled with chaos and turmoil. I was once in love with the darkness, the madness of my life in active addiction. It took me losing two good friends each to an overdose, having multiple sugar daddies who I lied to and manipulated and used to support my habit, spending anywhere from $500 to LITERALLY 5,000 dollars in a MONTH?! Not having spoke to my entire family for over 2 years and none of them not knowing where I was or if I was even alive.. my family having an empty seat for me at thanksgiving, presents left untouched for me during Christmas. My parents having to explain to everyone, “Where’s Devon?” when they didn’t even know themselves. I spent those holidays alone, having to make a 4 hour drive every.single.day to get my drugs. Being so sick, needing to pull over along side of the interstate multiple times to throw up because I was withdrawing so badly, even throwing up all over myself.. the inside of my car because I was rushing to meet my dealer. Yet once getting my shit I felt like I was walking on a rainbow, invincible, untouchable, true perfection. But reality I was walking through a nightmare, weak, and fragile, truly broken. My life turned upside down.. doing anything and everything I could to get my next fix. Then once I did, it would start all over again... that cycle of chasing the dragon. I wasted 6 years of my life to a substance. SIX YEARS I will never get back, six years of putting my body, mind, and soul through hell on earth. My story has a positive ending that not many addicts receive.. I entered rehab on January 13th of this year. My withdrawal was one of the worst the nurses and staff had seen, even with detox medication. I had seizures, did not sleep for 6 days, was on a liquid diet for 2 weeks. I was told by the nurses that I was probably about a month away from death due to potency and amount of fentanyl I was using. I thank God for helping me see the light and breakthrough the darkness. The emptiness that was once inside me.. is now filled, the soul that was once gone from my body.. is now back and I can feel emotions, good and bad. I’d rather feel it all than feel numbness or nothing at all. I now have 36 days sober. I take it one day at a time, one hour at a time, one minute at a time. I now can say I know the meaning of true serenity. I may have screwed up and lost those 6 years to drugs but I now have a story to help save others. My journey is a battle, no longer a struggle. I am a warrior and I WILL win this war. -Devon, a recovering addict 💜

"Sometimes I just want to cave in I don't want to fight" that line hit me hard bc I feel like that sometimes . . I just want to say this if your going through something just know you are not alone others are here for you as well

How did everyone not see this was her begging for help

This song was released exactly the time I was going through depression when I’ll lay down on my bed playing the song trying to be strong hoping that one day all the pain I’m feeling will vanish. It came to a time that I couldn’t take it anymore and I almost gave up on everything but thanks to my loving family and friends who were always there to put a smile on my face giving me more reason to live. Song still hits different. I love you so much Demi🥺❤️❤️❤️

My dad is an alcoholic and that ruined my family and my life. This helps me see he's side of the story.... it made me realize that he feels like no one is there for him after his parents died when he was 13. Now he's 62, and I'm 15.

A role model isn't someone who is perfect but someone who goes through hard times and doesn't give up! Don't give up Demi we love you and we need you

Who else is watching this in 2020 P.S love u Demi

A role model isn’t someone who doesn’t fall. It’s someone who gets back up again.

I feel this.... for everyone struggling with an addiction may God strengthen you every step of the way.

"im sorry for the fans i lost who watched me fall again, i wanna be a role model, but im only human." that gave me chills. stay strong demi. we've been with you through your whole career, when you were in and out of rehab, when you got better, when you were fighting. we always have and always will. ♡

You can feel the pain in her voice. Sending prayers for a speedy recovery Demi 💛

As someone who has constantly struggled with addiction this hit me so hard.

I felt her every word after watching Dancing with Devil....that's too hard 🖤
