Welcome Back Whitney!!

I tuned into the second part of Oprah Winfreys interview with the legendary songstress, Whitney Houston. I was taken aback on how candid she was this time about her life and the drugs that almost destroyed her completely. Not only the drugs, but her relationship with her estranged husband Bobby Brown. People influence us all the time. Good or bad, they just do. She mustered up the strength, with a little help from family and friends, to finally say goodbye to him, the drugs and the lifestyle. I know exactly what she went through and applaud her for publicly speaking about her ordeal. It is not a glamorous way of living whatsoever, but she's a woman known for just that, her glamour. She showed us humility and vulnerability by letting us see that side of her. I wish her all the best and hope that other struggling addicts can see that it is possible to survive and that it is possible to get back on your feet and never look back, but not forget, the destruction that once crippled our lives. Live strong and God bless.
