She admitted that having to be financially responsible for her family when she landed her own show on Disney Channel, as well as a tour with the Jonas brothers, led her down a destructive path. She ended up self medicating with alcohol, cocaine and OxyContin. “I lived fast and I was going to die young,” she said. “I didn’t think I would make it to 21.”

“Every day is a battle,” she said. “You just have to take it one day at a time, some days are easier than others and some days you forget about drinking and using, but for me, I work on my physical health, which is important, but my mental health as well.”
