The former Disney star, 21, has been vocal about her struggle to overcome her drug addiction and eating disorder but for the first time she opened up about how severe it was, reported Access Hollywood.
"I couldn't go 30 minutes to an hour without cocaine and I would bring it on airplanes. I would smuggle it basically, and just wait until everyone in first class would go to sleep, and I would do it right there. I'd sneak to the bathroom and I'd do it. That's how difficult it got, and that was even with somebody," she said.
"I was going to the airport and I had a Sprite bottle just filled with vodka and it was just nine in the morning and I was throwing up in the car. I had a moment where I was like, 'Oh, my God... That is alcoholic behavior.' (It's) no longer, 'I'm young and rebellious and having fun'," said Lovato.
The star also talked about her eating disorder, which began when she was 8.
