“I dealt with a lot of the repercussions and I feel like they kind of are still there to remind me if I ever get into a dark place again,” Lovato said. “I”m grateful for those reminders, but I’m also … so grateful I was someone that didn’t have to do a lot of rehabbing.”
Lovato revealed she suffered three strokes and a heart attack after she overdosed on drugs, as previously reported. The “Sorry Not Sorry” musician spent two weeks in the hospital following the overdose and afterward went straight to rehab.
