Whitney Houston’s death will always be sad, but if Whitney could know it, we’d hope it’d bring her peace to know that her death may have saved a life.
Mary J. Blige turned to religion to help her with her drinking problem after Whitney’s death.
She said:
“I didn├óΓé¼Γäót want to go to rehab. I believe that anything man himself can do for me, God can do in a greater way. I decided to pray and to seek God on my own. I just stayed in the Word. And it worked.”
She had originally tried to only drink socially but realized, that wasn’t the problem, saying:
“I chose to learn how to drink socially and it didn├óΓé¼Γäót work. The test comes when you have to decide whether you├óΓé¼Γäóre drinking to be social or drinking to cover up something again. To cover up depression, to cover up guilt. Shame. Abandonment├óΓé¼┬ª Once I realized, ├óΓé¼╦£There you go again,├óΓé¼Γäó I had to stop. Whitney Houston├óΓé¼Γäós death really affected me. Her death is another reason I stopped. I really do think I├óΓé¼Γäóm done. I looked at how that woman could not perform anymore.”
The world is def a darker place without Whitney in it.
Though at least Mary was able to get herself clean because of that sad turn of events.
Way to get clean, Mary!
