Lola explained to The Times of London that her schedule is purposely reduced these days, as part of of being in recovery is “being self-aware and knowing when to stop, and knowing when to say no.”
“I am now in a position where I can do things I couldn’t have done before,” she went on to explain.
“Doing it slower, more intentionally, but doing it in a way I feel is good for me.”
She was then asked if she had any advice for others in recovery.
“I need to think about this before I speak,” she said.
“I would like to say that this is an ongoing journey. You have to be kind to yourself. You have to always remember that you are not alone. You are not ever, ever alone.”
Earlier in the month, she opened up about ways she was helping herself amid drugs recovery.
“One thing that’s really helped me is slowing down, mentally, taking time to process. Days off, that’s really important. Enjoying time with friends, people that love you. There was a bunch of hate, but you know what? F–k it,” she told Rolling Stone. Find out what else she said.
