Miley Cyrus Reveals She’s Six Months Sober
Socialites, join us in congratulating Miley Cyrus who just revealed that she is six months sober!
While speaking on Variety and iHeart’s podcast The Big Ticket, the singer explained that she originally got sober in preparation for vocal surgery but decided to continue it after the operation after learning that her family has a “history of addiction and mental health challenges.”
“I’ve been sober sober for the past six months. At the beginning, it was just about this vocal surgery,” Cyrus explained, adding that she’s been thinking a lot about her mother, Tish Cyrus. “My mom was adopted, and I inherited some of the feelings she had, the abandonment feelings and wanting to prove that you’re wanted and valuable. My dad’s parents divorced when he was 3, so my dad raised himself. I did a lot of family history, which has a lot of addiction and mental health challenges.”
The 27-year-old star went on to say,
“So just going through that and asking, ‘Why am I the way that I am?’ By understanding the past, we understand the present and the future much more clearly. I think therapy is great.”
While congratulating Malkin who mentioned that his “sober birthday” is coming up, Cyrus admitted that “It’s really hard because especially being young, there’s that stigma of ‘you’re no fun.’ It’s like, “honey, you can call me a lot of things, but I know that I’m fun.’ The thing that I love about it is waking up 100%, 100% of the time. I don’t want to wake up feeling groggy. I want to wake up feeling ready.”
“One of my favorite interviews is when I say, ‘Anyone that smokes weed is a dummy.’ That one I love to send to my parents, who are big stoners, every now and then,” Cyrus shared. “It’s been really important for me over the last year living a sober lifestyle, because I really wanted to polish up my craft.”
“I had freaking four weeks where I wasn’t allowed to talk,” Cyrus said referring to her vocal surgery in late 2019. “I was so ripped writing on the whiteboard, yelling at everybody [Laughs]. I had this one big bicep from just yelling at mom and still trying to do meetings. But it prepared me for the stillness and the quietness.”
