Singer Demi Lovato says she is proud of singer Miley Cyrus for embracing sobriety.
Lovato, who earlier celebrated five - year anniversary of her own sobriety following drug and alcohol issues, is pleased Cyrus has also decided to give up using drugs.
"I am really proud of Miley.
I think that it helps people to know that there are people in the spotlight that have challenges, that are faced with very stressful lives, " Lovato told hollywoodreporter. com.
"I think it helps to know that recovery is possible and it's something that is so important to certain people like myself, " she added.
Further putting light on the issue, Lovato said: "I wouldn't be alive without my sobriety, and the people that are sober today in this industry, I commend them a lot.
"But even in day - to - day life, no matter whether you are from the middle of nowhere or you live in a big city, addiction doesn't discriminate, so whenever you are able to take control back, it's really admirable. "
