“I crash down, I stumble, but I did not crumble” sang Whitney Houston on 2009’s ‘I Didn’t Know My Own Strength’.
It appears the legend is clinging to those words now more than ever, as she has voluntarily extended her stint in a drug and alcohol rehab program.
Full story below…
According to TMZ, the 47 year old has requested an “round the clock” life-coach to help her battle against her well-publicized addicitons.
The ‘Million Dollar Bill’ singer had been set to complete her 30 day rehab program, after checking herself into an out-patient facility last month. However, sources claim Houston is more determined than ever to deal with her issues – and wants to prove it.
It was recently confirmed that Houston will reunite with the cast of ‘Waiting to Exhale’ for its sequel ‘Getting to Happy’. The movie is set to commence filming this Summer, and will hit theatres next year.

Kudos to Whitney for dealing with her problems. Amidst the glitz and glamour that is the entertainment industry, it’s uber easy to forget that stars go through real situations. Cliche sounding? Perhaps. But I say this not as a ‘woe is Whitney’, rather because folk far too often forget that this isn’t ‘fantasy’. It’s life. Addiction isn’t remedied at the click of a finger. It’s a process. Here’s hoping Whitney is successful in this latest effort to clean up her life.
GOOD. Get that sobriety Whit.
We’re rooting for you Nippy! It speaks so much to her character that SHE is seeking out help. She is determined to change and that’s the spirit she needs to really overcome. She is in my prayers. No judgment here.

Good for her. One thing about Whitney she has dedicated fans. Nothing likes these modern day fans who love you only when you are at the top. She is a strong woman & she has survived this long. I am constantly praying for her because not only is it the right thing to do, but because this woman made a huge impact on the music industry. She is an Icon and has earned respect by her hard work, talent and body of work!

Props to her for seeking the help she needs. You’re strong Whitney we know you can do it!

Whitney we love you and are behind you 110% Take the steps that you feel that you need to get and maintain your sobriety. Your fans will always support you. My prayers are with you and I want to tell you to continue to be encouraged.
FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD! And you are working behind that faith. That’s the way to do it.

Keep your head up Whitney. Good for you to want to get even more time and help
i wondered about her well being & fight with the addictions, since i heard angela bassett confirm that filming was gonna begin soon.
The big picture is that WHITNEY REALLY WANTS IT this time. I think the last time she went is because she was forced by family.
When you really want to give up your addiction that’s when brighter days come.
LIVING LEGEND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good Evening:
I say that Whitney and Kelly Rowland should do a single together. I believe that would be the best single ever. This is kelly year. I am praying for Whitney I hope that she come threw with this.
LIVING LEGEND YES! I have nothing else to say
Good luck Whitney – hope you have a full recovery. Music needs more stars like you! Get well soon xx
God bless Whitney she will find her way.
This is why NOBODY should ever star doing drugs ever under any circumstance!!!!!!!!
Why, why did WHITNEY HOUSTON have to touch that sh*t, in the first place?? : (
I hope Whitney recovers completely, one day!!!!!!!! Whitney is one of my favorite vocalists!!
I’m going to need a new album from her.
Wishing Whitney the best–not sure if she should be doing Waiting To Exhale 2 right now her sobriety is more important. Hopefully she gets it back on track this time b/c in her day she was really a trailblazer and a REAL triple threat (singer/actress/producer) unlike Beyonce.
@ Agnello Dei
You f****** c***, stop usurping my name
or you’ll pay for it for the rest of your life
Do it “Step by step” Nip, “I will always love you”, because your “Every woman” and the “Queen of the night”, so it’s “Nothing but love” and just stay spiritually grounded and seek the higher power when you say “I look to you” and realize “You didn’t know your own strength” because your self love is “The greatest love of all” that you can have on this earth and love for man kind (which is the love I have for you) means that “My love is your love” so “How will I know” that you’ll get better?… it happens “When you believe”… Love Nips!
Sorry for being so corny guys! 🙂

I pray things work out well for her… I was such a HUGE STAN for Whitney back in the day! I pray her & her family’s situation turn out well!
You dont get a refund when you go to a horrible football game, you dont get refunds when you go to garbage award shows, so enough with the refund BS. Also before you post something think about what your faults are, what your hardships are, how many times you messed up, how many times you didnt get it right…… God is using Whitney in so many ways to show us so many things……she is being strong enough to endure it, through all the people trashing her, all the people throwing stones at her….but you know what there is no love like God’s love. That why he is substaining her. He is with her even when the wicked comments are thrown at her. God protects her. It’s not too many people that can get in front of the world and tell them their weaknesses, their vulnerabilities. Just ask yourself if you were in her shoes could you be that strong. Yeah Whitney came from the ghetto, that were God has allowed here to get her thick skin to prepare her for the journey ahead.
