Yesterday marked a major milestone for Sia, and she took to Twitter to share it with her fans.


For Sia, September 11, 2010 marked her first day of sobriety. Yesterday, she posted on Twitter to recognize the 8th year of her commitment to a sober life.

Sia's struggle with drugs and alcohol began when she was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. She became dependent on the drugs she was prescribed to deal with her bipolar, and began using and abusing Xanax and OxyContin.

She also began incorporating alcohol into the mix as her fame and pressure of being in the spotlight grew.

In September of 2010, Sia's boyfriend was killed in a car accident. After the heartbreaking tragedy, she experienced her ultimate low and contemplated suicide. But fortunately, a friend called her as she was writing a farewell note and encouraged her to seek help.

Sia took her friend's advice, and 8 years later she remains on the path of recovery. In the years since she committed to a drug and alcohol free life, she has branched out from writing for other artists and has written her own hits such as "Elastic Heart" and "Cheap Thrills".

One of her major hits, "Chandelier", is actually about her struggle with alcoholism. The tune was a billboard topper and its music video, featuring Maddie Ziegler, went on to be nominated for a Grammy for Best Music Video.

Sia's fans are incredibly proud of her accomplishment.







Other are inspired by her achievement as they understand the struggle.





Congratulations, Sia!! Thank you for being an inspiration to us all.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
