friend Whitney Houston shocked her so much she gave up
drinking alcohol as she realised the 'importance' of her own
life.
The 'Be Without You' songstress says her close pal's death
in February 2012 had such a profound effect on her she
began contemplating her own mortality and gave up
drinking in a bid to boost her health. She said: 'I was at her
funeral [and] being that close to someone you loved so
dearly, in a coffin, it freaked me out. It made me realise the
importance of my own life. 'I didn't stop overnight, it was
a process. I feel great right now. I have more clarity, more
focus, more patience. And I lost weight. When you stop
drinking it flies off!'
The 42-year-old star will even abstain from toasting her 10-
year anniversary with husband Kendu Isaacs with a glass
of champagne next year. She told The Guardian newspaper:
'I'll have a glass of ginger ale. Ginger ale and Diet Coke
are my drinks.'
The 'No More Drama' hitmaker, who was hit with a $3.4
million tax lien earlier this year, says there are always
obstacles in life, but she has learned to deal with whatever
may come her way. She explained: 'There's always drama,
but you have to learn to navigate your way through it. Life
is full of trials and tribulations, but I know now how to get
out of it. You have to make a decision to say 'no more'.'
