Like I don't even wanna drink much or do anything cause i'm feeling consistent and waking up in control and YEAH im just proud of myself and happy and wanted to tell you cause if you ever wanted to do something like that you could," he said on the caption.

According to him, it doesn't have just to be ditching alcohol or drug that one should celebrate or be encouraged - "just the idea that you can commit to yourself and what you know is best for you if what you're doing isn't working for you" - even saying that it could be a relationship or a job.

Lauv Sang & Wrote 'Steal The Show' on 'Elementals'

Lauv recently joined forces with Disney for a new song "Steal The Show" on the new Pixar film "Elementals."

According to the singer, writing and singing "Steal The Show" was a really different experience.

"I sat down with Thomas Newman, and he gave me a couple of sounds that he was working with, and I asked, 'Can I have a couple of minutes in a room, pull up a piano and turn on the microphone?' I had melodies, chords and a couple of key lyrics totally freestyled after watching the scene," he explained, as quoted by UDiscoverMusic.
