Miley Cyrus shares the medicine that has kept her ‘grounded’ in her sober lifestyle for 5 years

Miley Cyrus has been sober for five years now.

In an interview with CR Fashion Book, the singer shared how she’s managed to avoid drinking alcohol.

Miley has actually come to appreciate ‘simple’ things in life, in spite of her fame and success.

The singer explained to the actress that they enjoy sharing what they’re passionate about, and right now, that means gardening – though they’re currently keeping an eye on their dog to make sure it doesn’t dig everything up!

Gardening is a deeply personal activity. Cyrus, in a photoshoot with Nick Knight, explained that after giving so much of ourselves to others, it’s incredibly rewarding to connect with something simple, like planting a seed and watching it grow. These small, quiet moments become especially meaningful.

She explained that having this has been what’s helped her stay balanced and maintain her sobriety.

It’s a way to center myself, similar to how yoga works. I enjoy spending time in nature, working with my hands, and expressing my creativity simply for the joy of it, not for recognition or achievement.

And that makes her happy. 

There’s something truly rewarding about planting a seed and watching it bloom. I experienced that recently when I planted some on a hillside.

Miley Cyrus explained that she scattered seeds before going on tour, hoping something beautiful would grow while she was away. When she returned, her wish came true.

She was quick to share the credit for the beautiful result, explaining that two people were instrumental in making it happen. First was Vijat Mohindra, whom she affectionately described as a kind and wonderful person. He was the one who scattered the seeds, and she believes none of it would have been possible without him. When she returned, she was amazed to find 10,000 daisies blooming. She was also puzzled by the appearance of 40 different types of roses, wondering how they ended up in her yard since she hadn’t planted them.

Returning home was like stepping into a magical garden! Being stuck inside and surrounded by nature’s beauty has been a wonderful experience.

Cyrus also said she is ‘not afraid’ to walk away from the entertainment industry.

Miley, who rose to fame as a child starring in the Disney show Hannah Montana, says she doesn’t necessarily need to stay in the entertainment industry forever and is now considering the possibility of retiring one day.

Miley explained: ‘I’m always redesigning, reimagining, re-inspiring.

I had a strange realization the other night while lying in bed. It hit me that I started down a particular path when I was eleven, and I’ve been on it ever since.

But she will stick with showbiz.

Honestly, I decided I was *all in* when I was just eleven years old, and that was it. It wasn’t a phase, it wasn’t something I ever thought about changing – I just *knew*. I committed completely, and I’ve never once doubted it, not for a second. It’s just… always been everything to me.

I didn’t really start questioning my path until I was in my late twenties and early thirties, wondering if I was still on the right track. So far, I’ve been happy with where things are, but I’m open to changing course if that ever feels right. I don’t know if I’ll ever lose my passion for this, but I’m not scared to if it happens.
