Demi Lovato says DMX OD scared her, it could have been me

Demi Lovato was shaken when she learned about DMX‘s overdose … a reminder of how lucky she is to still be alive.

Demi will be on “TMZ Live” on Wednesday … and talk about her incredible documentary, ‘Dancing With the Devil’, and her new album, “Dancing With The Devil … The Art of Start Over.”

She covered a lot of reason for the show, and one of the highlights was her very honest reaction to X’s current condition – he is on life support and it does not look good. She sees the parallels in her own life and says she suffers from the guilt of survivors. She knows she could have been in DMX’s condition or worse.

Demi’s album “Dancing With the Devil” is autobiographical and, dare we say, spectacular. One thing was clearly NOT affected by the NPD – Demi’s voice is better than ever.

Demi also talks about the way she handles recovery, and it’s not with abstinence … she smokes weeds and drinks alcohol in moderation. It’s her friend Elton John seems like a big mistake, but Demi explains that abstinence does not work for everyone, and she goes on to explain why “California Sober” works for her.
