Demi Lovato: 'I wish I would've realised I never had to drink or use to have fun'

Demi Lovato has revealed that she regrets drinking or taking substances in order to "have fun".

The singer has previously been in rehab for a number of issues, such as self-harm and an eating disorder.

The honest US star took to Twitter today (June 25) to state that she has now realised that she didn't need to take substances in order to have a good time.

She wrote: "Sometimes I look back and wish I would've realized I never had to drink or use to have fun...I laugh more sober than I ever did wasted."

Lovato meanwhile recently opened up to Seventeen magazine about her recovery from rehab, saying:

"Since I went to treatment, there have been days when it's felt really easy, and I've felt great about where I am. But then I have moments when it's not. That's life. You can't just take your mind and your body into the shop and get it fixed. It doesn't come out repaired. It's not like a car. It takes time - pace yourself. Every day is a new opportunity to change your life and be who you want to be."
