On the whole Whitney Houston thing…yeah, she did it to herself with help from her “friends”
And this isn’t giving her a pass.
Here’s the thing with addiction. It isn’t like you have a “choice” in the way that non-addicts choose not to abuse substances.
Dr. Drew Pinsky on Addiction- http://bit.ly/rrYXo3
Now imagine, you have this biological addiction, and everyone around you feeds this addiction. They benefit from you being an addict, and using. You hold the purse strings, you are fun to party with and you have access to the substance you and your “friends” are addicted to.
It would be great to think that it is just as simple as walking away from the substance, but your brain doesn’t work like that.
Not even close.
