Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whle Truth and Nothing But...

Bobby Brown: The Truth, The Whle Truth and Nothing But...

Whitney Houston’s Ex-Husband blames Whitney for his drug addiction, in his new book “Bobby Brown: The truth The Whole Truth and Nothing But”. He said he had never used cocaine until after he met Whitney. Before her he had experimented with other drugs but marijuana was his drug of choice.  After his wife introduced him to cocaine he started using drugs uncontrollably. He said, “I was using everything I could get my hands on, from cocaine to heroin, weed and cooked cocaine.”
He explains how his marriage was doomed from the very beginning. They got married for all the wrong reasons, his agenda was to be loved and have kids, hers was to clean up her image.
I don’t think this is right of him to blame his addiction on Whitney. Even though she got him into cocaine it was still his choice to accept it and do it. It’s his choices that got him addicted. People are pressured always but its not the people who pressure them faults. It’s the ones who give in, and I don’t think it should be blamed on anyone but themselves. My friends got me into Crack, but its my fault and me that got addicted. It’s not theirs.

Yeah, that's actually really sad though, I had no idea his drug problem was that bad.  But I disagree, I think she is partly to blame, she knew that he had problems with substance abuse already so why would she introduce him to cocaine?  I think she was probably on drugs too at the time also, but at the same time, he probably would've discovered cocaine even without Whitney.

You cannot go around blaming people for your addiction that's so wrong!  Everyone has their own personal choice and he made the decision to do it.... he has no room to talk, didn't he beat her up?

I agree you cant blame anyone but yourself about your addiction. I don't know if he beat her up. I'm interested in that though hehe.

He cant go blaming her. After he saw he doing drugs the first time that should've been his first step to leave unless she got sober. He shouldn't have sat with her and done cocaine and developed a worse addiction. I hate it when people try to put their mistakes on others. Its his dumb decision to accept it. If I was out with my friends and they were eating ice cream and fudgy chocolate cakes everynight and Im so tempted and give in always, then its my fault that I'm getting fat. Not theirs. If they want to eat it let them tis their lives. Just like if Whitney wanted to do coke, and bobby trying to stop her isn't working, then let her be but dont get involved in it and blame her.
