According to Lovato, the biggest obstacle she was able to overcome to get to this point in her recovery was leaning to "surrender," and admit the truth about your vices.

"Surrendering is the most important thing whenever you're trying to battle your demons," Lovato shared. "You have to admit that you have a problem first, and then you can overcome them."

The songstress said she's always willing to help however she can when people come to her for advice on their own mental health journeys.

"People have reached out and I've been able to help," she explained. "Some people it helps, some people that's their own journey. But, if anyone ever needs anything, I'm always around."

While enjoying her healthy and sober life, Lovato is hard at work on a number of new projects, including new music!
