I'll say again, R.I.P. Whitney Houston.

When you've lost a loved one to the fatal disease of addiction, as I have, you tend to look at things more sympathetically. When the brain becomes addicted, which can happen with the first exposure, there is no choice involved. Continued use is not about seeking a high ... it's about trying to keep from being physically ill.
