Addiction Silences Great Voices

So many times, your relatives, friends, and overall social circle have a great impact on what you do and how you see the world. It can be the same way with substance use disorder.

Friends, family, coworkers, and other people can shape our lives immensely. This is even true for the rich and the famous. Although these people might be richer and more renowned than us, they often struggle with the same problems that all of us face.

Amy Winehouse was one such example. When she arrived on the music scene, many fans and critics praised the talent and potential of this talented singer and songwriter. These observers also noticed that Winehouse also had substance use disorder problems as big as her talent.

The substance use disorder problems seemed to mirror problems in her personal life. Many people have accused Winehouse’s father of trying to financially benefit from his daughter’s music success when she was alive and her fame after her death. Her father denies these allegations.

Winehouse’s romantic life was also chaotic. Her husband Blake Fielder-Civil was in jail when Winehouse won multiple Grammy Awards in 2008. He and Winehouse both used heroin and crack cocaine and the couple later divorced. Winehouse allegedly stopped using drugs but continued to drink. She died of alcohol poisoning in 2011.

If Winehouse had less chaos in her life, it is entirely possible that she’d still be here today. Yes, people without such tumult in their lives can and do develop addictions.

But the chaos certainly didn’t help. If Fielder-Civil hadn’t also been using drugs, he could’ve seen the toll drugs were taking on his wife. The drugs wouldn’t have been in their physical presence. Someone could’ve been the sober voice of reason.

Instead, we just have Winehouse’s voice in recordings and film clips. A reminder of what was and what could’ve been.
