She also said that it was her mission to surround herself with positive influences, which is why she has Selena as a friend and lived in the sober living home.

Demi has publicly stated before that Selena helped her through her addiction struggles in rehab. “Selena called me crying when I was in there and was just so worried,” Demi told Televisonet.tv. “I was like, ‘Look, I should be the one crying, it’s all good!’”
