Mya’s willpower is going strong. Inspired by a bet, she cut out alcohol for one year.
“I was free and celibate from alcohol for 365 days,” the Grammy-winning singer, 30, tells me. “I couldn’t have a sip of anything. My friends would socially drink, and I couldn’t because it was a goal. It was officially six months, but it turned into a year for me. That’s a pretty hard challenge, but I did it.”
She adds, “I am disciplined. When I say I’m going to do something and I challenge myself, I like to look at myself in the mirror and be proud.”
