“I did it for me, and I am so proud of that decision, especially being in an industry that is so party-focused. I have fallen in love with the clarity that sobriety has given me through all the challenges that have come up along the journey.”

The singer is trying to encourage other people, saying that quitting is possible; all they need is resilience.

"To those who are trying to quit, I want to encourage you and say that it is possible, no matter how many times you have to start again. Do not give up. I am not better than anyone; I am just grateful to still be here, clear, and growing,” she said
