Lola Young<\/a> is opening up about her addiction.<\/p>\n

The singer, who shared details in songs like \u201cNot Like That Anymore\u201d (\u201cI\u2019m a dumb little addict so I\u2019ve been tryna quit the snowflake\u201d), spoke about her massive success with \u201cMessy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a whirlwind of a year. It was so mad and beautiful and exciting, but it was also, at times, very sad,\u201d she admitted noting that she was battling an addiction to cocaine and working with a sober coach who traveled with her for much of the year.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf I\u2019m gonna be honest with you, the enjoyment was deteriorating. Just small things that I had to do: an interview, a piece of promo. I just didn\u2019t know all the stuff that comes with it. But I wasn\u2019t in a good place, and there\u2019s two sides of the coin\u2026you want to say yes to everything because everything\u2019s on the table, but then you also have to balance that with your mental health, and I\u2019ve been super open about my mental-health condition that I suffer from, and also about all the other stuff that\u2019s going on for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

Lola has been candid about being diagnosed with schizoaffective disorder and ADHD in the past.<\/p>\n

Following her on-stage collapse at All Things Go<\/a> in September, she visited a holistic center focusing on therapy and psychology instead of just addiction treatment, and she attends AA meetings and has a sponsor.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have watched it, yes. I saw it once or twice, and I haven\u2019t really gone back to it since. Obviously, I\u2019m not going to be searching it. It\u2019s not something I\u2019d like to search. But I am very grateful that it happened because it was, what do you call that? Like, a breaking point which allowed me to then be able to be here today, allowed me to be better for my fans, better for the future, and better for myself,\u201d she told Rolling Stone of the incident that led her to take a break.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne thing that\u2019s really helped me is slowing down, mentally, taking time to process. Days off, that\u2019s really important. Enjoying time with friends, people that love you. There was a bunch of hate, but you know what? F\u2013k it. When you\u2019re doing something, there\u2019s always going to be a couple motherf\u2013kers talking s\u2013t. But at the same time, it was a decision, like I said, that I had to make, and it was sad that I had to do that. What else was I going to do, die? That was the reality of where my addiction was heading.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been away, I\u2019ve taken some time out, and this is a beautiful comeback. It feels like a moment I\u2019ll remember, and maybe other people will remember, hopefully. It feels like the right thing to come back to,\u201d she added of her return in 2026, including her appearance at the 2026 Grammys.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lola Young is opening up about her addiction.
