Demi Lovato: Breaking Free From The "RECOVERY" Narrative
Episode description
California dreamer Demi Lovato joins the long list of people who don’t conform to the recovery narrative. Only she’s up front about it.
Demi Lovato’s intense substance-use history almost killed her. But Lovato is different: she recognizes that what almost killed her was the recovery narrative: “You’re doomed as an addict from birth; you can stave off destruction with absolute abstinence for as long as you can (in Lovato’s case six years); then we can’t help you. (And, by the way, you proved us right that you were doomed—sorry🙃).”
Lovato’s recovery narrative: “I had poor control over my life as a young artist, including eating, substance use, finances, what have you. Who knows how to handle all that when you’re 20? But after nearly dying, I put the Lovato package together in a new form. I drink and smoke pot, which I can handle. I decide on my diet. And I make my own financial decisions. It’s called ‘controlling you life’. I don’t want to tell other people what to do. But I think more people could benefit from my approach.”
