Will Smith nervous about daughter dating
CHICAGO, Sept. 16 (UPI) -- U.S. recording artist Whitney Houston says her faith in God now helps her resist the temptation of drugs.
Houston, 46, is making a professional comeback after her career was eclipsed for years by her stormy relationship with her ex-husband Bobby Brown, his legal woes and her addiction to drugs. Her new CD, "I Look to You," was No. 1 on the U.S. album chart when it first came out and is No. 3 this week.
"Don't think I don't have desires for (drugs,)" People.com quoted Houston as saying on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Tuesday in the second part of her two-part interview with Winfrey. "It takes me a minute to cleanse ... I have to pray it away."
The singer admitted in the segment that aired Monday that she had been a heavy user of marijuana and rock cocaine in the past.
Although Houston said on Tuesday's show she occasionally enjoys a alcoholic beverage, she insisted "no weed, no coke."
"If I get weak, I know who I can turn to," People.com reported she said. "I know God loves me."
