This means we will analyze her childhood and figure out what might have triggered her drug addiction and her unhealthy relationship.

This will help with the process of analyzing why Amy turned to drug use and found comfort in her unhealthy relationship with old husband Blake Fielder. In the first section of this paper, it covers the key details about the life of Winehouse. This is because these key details of her trauma she faced as a child reflect on the adult she became. Her childhood incidents are the root of her drug addiction and her

She started drinking so much that at times she was to drunk to finish a whole song or even making it on stage. In 2005 she met Blake Fielder who is responsible for introducing her to more serious drugs. The two began to date and were in a not so healthy relationship. Often times in the public eye the two would have serious arguments that sometimes could turn into fist-fights. After the two have been together for a bit she focused mainly on drugs and alcohol but also on self conflicted harm. In the year 2006 her publishing company proposed to her that she should think about going into rehab. Winehouse was not appreciative of their concern and instead dropped her publisher.
