Demi Lovato posted on Instagram to acknowledge the two year anniversary of her July 2018 hospitalization after an apparent drug dose.
On Saturday, Lovato shared an Instagram detailing how her life was saved and turned around.
"Today is my miracle day. I'm so blessed to have one. It represents how the Dr's at Cedar's saved my life. How my life has become something beyond my wildest dreams," the singer wrote.
"Only 2 years after that terrible day, I'm engaged to the love of my life, and I can genuinely say I feel free of my demons. Each and every one. I never thought this feeling was possible," Lovato continued, referencing her recent engagement to actor Max Ehrich.
"And it's not just because I fell in love (although that didn't hurt), but because over the past 2 years, I've done more work on myself than I have in my entire life."
"Things that used to keep me down for weeks or months, pass like tropical storms because my relationship with God has provided me infinite security. Long before I had an engagement ring on my ring finger, I had the word "me" to remind myself that no matter what, I vow to love myself. You can't fully love another without loving yourself first."
Lovato thanked God for giving her the "strength to fight" through her "darkest times" and wrapped up the heartfelt post by also thanking her family, friends, and fans for their constant support throughout this difficult journey.

Lovato also performed at the 2020 Grammys, where she sang a song that she wrote shortly before her overdose. Speaking about the song to Beats 1's Zane Lowe, Lovato said: "I almost listen back and hear these lyrics as a cry for help. And you kind of listen back to it and you kind of think, 'How did nobody listen to this song and think, let's help this girl?'"
