Miley Cyrus on Five Years Sober: How Gardening Grounds Her

EXCLUSIVE: Miley Cyrus Spills the Tea on Her Five-Year Sobriety and Potential Exit from Showbiz

In a juicy interview with Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book, pop sensation Miley Cyrus opened up about her five-year sobriety journey and revealed what's helped her stay grounded in the midst of fame and success. The 32-year-old singer, who rose to stardom as a child on the hit Disney show Hannah Montana, candidly shared her struggles and triumphs with Anderson.

Cyrus credits gardening as a key factor in maintaining her sobriety. "It's something you do for yourself," she explained, "When we've shared so much of ourselves, having those little precious times with something simple – like putting a seed in the ground and nurturing it – it becomes a very personal process." The chart-topping star, who was photographed by Nick Knight, gushed about the therapeutic benefits of gardening. "Having that has been the medicine that's kept me grounded in my sober lifestyle," she confessed.

Miley has actually come to appreciate 'simple' things in life, in spite of her fame and success. 'A big part of what we do is sharing. Something I love is gardening - actually, I'm making sure my dog isn't digging mine up at this exact moment,' the chart-topping star said

But what really sparked Cyrus' interest in gardening? A chance encounter with her friend Vijat Mohindra, whom she affectionately referred to as a "gay angel." It was he who threw seeds on her hillside property while she was away on tour. When Cyrus returned home, she was amazed to find that over 10,000 daisies had bloomed, along with numerous species of roses. "I swear it never would've happened without him," she laughed.

Cyrus' love for gardening has become an integral part of her sobriety routine, providing a creative outlet that's not tied to fame or success. "It's like yoga – getting out into nature, doing something with my hands, and having a genuine win when you put a seed in the ground and see flowers in the spring," she said, beaming with pride.

But what about her future in showbiz? Cyrus revealed that she's not afraid to walk away from the entertainment industry if it no longer serves her. "I made a deep commitment at 11 years old, and I never questioned it or reexamined it until my late 20s and early 30s," she explained. However, after reevaluating her priorities, Cyrus has decided to stick with showbiz – for now.

'Gardening is something you do for yourself. When we've shared so much of ourselves, having those little precious times with something simple - like putting a seed in the ground and nurturing it - it becomes a very personal process,' she told CR Book

"I had this moment the other night where I was lying in bed thinking, 'Wow, I really jumped on a train when I was 11 years old, and I've never gotten off,'" Cyrus shared. "But it wasn't until my late 20s and early 30s that I started reevaluating: 'Is this still what I want?' And so far, the answer has been yes." However, she emphasized that she's not afraid of a potential exit from showbiz in the future.

Cyrus' openness about her sobriety and career uncertainty is a breath of fresh air for fans who've followed her journey over the years. As she looks to the future, one thing is clear: Miley Cyrus is on a path towards self-discovery and growth – and we can't wait to see what's next.
