She rushed to get TMYLM out before the Grammy deadline which hurt it because people didn’t really have time to hear the album or see the impact of the album before the nominations process began. It was a strategic miscalculation on her part.

yup I agree. Had she waited and extended the promo train, she could have had a shot. It's the real reason why she has given up on this era and is starting a new one(?). The fans want more singles but she's like "lol no"

The fact that Confident is her album to get nominated is just baffling. The albums between HWGA and TMYLM are her worst.

I knew she wasn't sober anymore the moment she dropped her team and closest friends. I hope she gets better. Stay strong, Demetria.

I called it as well and I had a user defending her to the high heavens (look at my older posts about Demi) but nooo. I'm glad she's owning up to it even tho it sucks that 6 years went down the drain. I wonder how long she had been lying though. It makes me think it was this year.

Tbh, I was also in denial for a while because I didn't want her to relapse.

It’s not “6 years down the drain.” Sobriety is never a waste.

I wonder what happened with Marisa, like I didn’t like her but I didn’t expect her to be cut off



I thought it was a lil “hmm” when she started doing those q&a’s

It must be hard having it be a big part of her brand. That’s honestly a lot to live up to.

So did she drop them because she was tired of being sober and they kept her that way or because they weren't helping her stay sober?

she ditched her life coach as well so I'm not sure but that doesn't mean she doesn't have a new one. Maybe she found out he was using her or something

Aww, Demi. I like her. She's self-absorbed and messy, but it's so clear she struggles and I just want to care for her.

A lot of people think once you've gotten sober, that's it. You're good. But addiction means a constant struggle. It never goes away.



I really hope she gets back on track and has some good, supportive people around her.

Exactly. I don’t struggle w/ addiction but i have major depression/gen anxiety/an ED and I feel the same way. There’s some issues you’ll be dealing w/ the rest of your life and if those issues start as young as they did for Demi that life can feel extrrrrra long. It’s not realistic to think you’re never going to relapse when it is an ongoing daily struggle. And not every relapse is a terrible one. Idk what’s going on with her but the fact that she’s even acknowledging it I’d like to think/I hope is a good sign.

This is really beautiful & I wish I’d had someone telling me relapse is a part of recovery years ago. It took a long time to find that out.

it's a lifelong disease that has many relapses. i don't understand people that think it can be turned off like flipping a switch, otherwise why would people get addicted at all? i hope you're doing ok now.

Well that's deeply upsetting. Is she just giving up on remaining sober?

I know, I'm just wondering if she's still committed to sobriety or has changed her attitude about substances to "some of this is fine as long as I don't go overboard, etc etc." The usual backsliding thoughts.
