Miley Cyrus Credits Gardening as Key to Five Years of Sobriety
Los Angeles, CA – Pop star Miley Cyrus has revealed a surprising cornerstone of her five-year journey with sobriety: gardening. The 32-year-old singer, who publicly battled addiction to alcohol and marijuana, credits the simple act of nurturing plants as a vital tool in maintaining her recovery.
Cyrus, who rose to fame as a teen idol and has openly discussed her struggles with substance abuse, explained that gardening provides a grounding force in her life.”I don’t have a problem with alcohol consumption, but with the decisions that I make then,” she told CR Fashion Book through an interview with Pamela Anderson. She found that focusing on the tangible process of growth offered a powerful antidote to old habits.
For Cyrus, gardening transcends a mere hobby; it’s become a form of self-preservation. “Gardening is something I like,” she shared. “After sharing so much, these precious little moments with something simple-like planting a seed and seeing it grow-become personal. Gardening was the drug which kept me anchored in my sober lifestyle.”
The singer likened gardening to therapy or meditation, emphasizing the importance of disconnecting from the pressures of fame. “Getting out in nature, doing something with my hands and having a creative outlet that is not a question of celebrity or success, It’s a real victory,” she stated.
Cyrus recounted a particularly meaningful experience, describing scattering seeds on a hillside before embarking on a tour, and returning to find the area transformed into a “fairy princess garden.” She emphasized the profound impact sobriety has had on her life, stating in an interview with The Zane Lowe Show last May, “Sobriety is like… it’s like my God.I need it, I live for that. I mean it has changed all my life.”
