Paula Yates and Michael Hutchence
Amy Winehouse and Blake Fielder-Civil.
A
coroner's inquest reached a verdict of misadventure. The report released on 26
October 2011 stated that Winehouse's blood alcohol content was more than five
times the legal drink-drive limit. According to the coroner, "The
unintended consequences of such potentially fatal levels resulted in her sudden
death."Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown
On February 11, 2012, Houston was found dead in a suite at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, in Beverly Hills, California, submerged in the bathtub. Local police said there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent."
What did Paula Yates, Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston all have in common?
Not only did they die in tragic circumstances, which you wouldn't think possible for such famous celebrities in their field, but the question you need to ask yourself is who introduced those things into their lives?
On the surface you could quickly reply that it was the pressure of fame which other celebrities have faced, but a closer look reveals that their partners had a very big role to play in their demise.
Paula Yates died after a heroin overdose. Amy Winehouse died of blood poisoning, and Whitney from a cocktail of alcohol and prescription drugs. These deaths did not happen after one fatal drug or alcohol binge. Their deaths were a result of months, even years of abuse—Why?
Because they made the wrong choice of dating known "bad boys" - men who had inner demons of their own but could not overcome them.
I'm positive that these women knew the addiction their men had, but battling their own inner demons, they either thought this man understands the problems I'm facing or was introduced to drugs and alcohol when it was too late—when their hearts said "I'm hooked to him". Therefore there would be no going back from the steep downward spiral culminating in their deaths.
If you think you can change someone you just met with addictions or a past that continues to haunt them, you will be on your own on that narrow lonely road. And the chances are:
1. You will accept the person as
they are and continue in that relationship (knowing full well you will suffer
for the rest of the time you are together, and even beyond)
2. You will end up doing the same
they do.
You need
to take a step back and let that person find help in God. The real truth is
that they, nor you are not ready for a relationship.
However, when you have God's Spirit in you, you firstly know what's right and what is wrong for you and you will have the strength to carry out the right decision—with no emotions attached. When you do not have His character, you are indecisive and will end up eventually saying yes to all that is wrong. Once you jump in at the deep end, it will be hard to save yourself.
And finally I recently heard one of Whitney's songs. I would strongly advise you not to follow these lyrics. However, how many did and still do today:
"I get so emotional baby, every time I think of you..."
