addiction recovery ebulletin support for black addiction celebrities
July 26, 2018 – What was your initial reaction when you first heard that Demi Lovato was checked into a hospital after a suspected heroin overdose? Public opinion seemed to be split between people who were genuinely concerned for the pop star, and another group of people asking, “Who the hell is Demi Lovato?” You would be hard-pressed to find anyone bashing her for her relapse or calling her a “scumbag.” This was the complete opposite reaction to Whitney Houston’s demise, Lamar Odom’s downfall, Josh Gordon’s struggles and other black celebrities who succumb to the evils of narcotics.
A new Whitney Houston documentary bluntly displays just how tough and wild her life was. Former NBA all-star Lamar Odom is on the road to recovery and could be headed to China to restart his career. NFL star Josh Gordon, who has missed 55 games in his short career due to failing drug and alcohol tests, could potentially see action on the field this season.
