Miley Cyrus Opens Up About Being 'Sober Sober' For the Past 6 Months

Miley Cyrus is getting candid about her sobriety.

The 27-year-old entertainer recently opened up about sober from drugs and alcohol for the past six months.

“I’ve been sober sober for the past six months. At the beginning, it was just about this vocal surgery,” she said on Variety’s The Big Ticket Podcast. “But I had been thinking a lot about my mother. 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. 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.”

She also shared that it’s been important for her to live a sober lifestyle “because I really wanted to polish up my craft.”

“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,’” Miley added. “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.”
