Miley Cyrus has been sober for five years now.
When speaking to Pamela Anderson for CR Fashion Book, the pop singer revealed what has helped her stay away from alcohol.
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 explained to the Baywatch actress.
‘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,’ added Cyrus who was photographed by Nick Knight.

The former Hannah Montana star added, ‘Having that has been the medicine that’s kept me grounded in my sober lifestyle.
‘It’s part of a practice, the way yoga might be: getting out into nature, doing something with my hands, and having a creative outlet that isn’t about fame or success.’
And that makes her happy.
‘It’s a genuine win when you put a seed in the ground and see flowers in the spring. I did that on a hillside a while ago.’
The daughter of Billy Ray Cyrus added, ‘I was leaving for a tour, and I just threw seeds out, thinking maybe when I came home something magic would happen. And it did.’
She also shared who helped her: ‘I’d love to take full credit, but actually two people helped—one being Vijat Mohindra, who’s just the cutest little gay angel. He threw these seeds, and I swear it never would’ve happened without him. When I came back, there were 10,000 daisies. I was like, “We didn’t even throw these out—why do I have 40 species of roses in my backyard?”
‘I came back and my whole hillside looked like a princess fairy garden. So all this time being home, grounded, and surrounded by beauty in a different way—it’s just amazing.’
Cyrus also said she is ‘not afraid’ to walk away from the entertainment industry.

The 32-year-old singer first found stardom as a child, playing the titular character on the hit Disney show Hannah Montana – but Miley insists that she’s not wedded to the industry and is now open to the idea of walking away one day.
Miley explained: ‘I’m always redesigning, reimagining, re-inspiring.
‘I actually 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.”‘
But she will stick with showbiz.
‘I made a decision at 11, and I’ve never stopped. I made this deep commitment, and I never questioned it or reexamined it.
‘It wasn’t until my late 20s and early 30s that I started reevaluating: “Is this still what I want?’ So far, the answer has been yes, but I’m not afraid of the day it’s no. I don’t know if that day will come – when this no longer has my heart the way it does now.”‘
