With so many celebrities entering rehab and numerous others dying from drug abuse it begs to ask the question as to whether celebrities are more prone to addiction than the rest of us. What do you think?
While experts do not believe celebrities are wired any differently, they do logically point out that celebs have the opportunity and resources and that is why they are more prone to do drugs.
Wendy Williams
Daytime talk-show host Wendy Williams was hit hard by the death of Whitney Houston. Williams, like Houston, suffered from a serious addiction to cocaine. Whiel Houston never could kill her demon Williams walked away from her secret cocaine addiction years ago because she wanted a better life, because it was breaking her parents' hearts and because she knew that otherwise she was headed to an early grave.
Williams admits that the crack pipe was once her best friend. She claims she has been sober for more than 15 years.
The 47-year-old Williams, a former radio star whose three year-old talk show has been renewed for two more years and is syndicated in more than 150 markets, started dabbling in drugs when she was in college, but later fame and success didn't prevent her escalating habit.
Williams is another success story. Hopefully she will remain sober and help keep America’s next generation from ever trying drugs.
