Bobby Brown is getting candid about addiction during his marriage to Whitney Houston.<\/p>\n

In the second half of A & E’s Biography: Bobby Brown<\/em>, which aired Tuesday night, the singer talked about being addicted to crack, heroin, cocaine and alcohol before finally getting sober. He also shared the “big misconception” about his marriage of hers to Houston.<\/p>\n

Brown, 53, was depicted in the press as the “bad boy” during his relationship with Houston and blamed for her drug spiral. However, he said the “Greatest Love of All” singer with the angelic voice was the more experienced drug user when they got together, which he came to find out on their 1992 wedding day.<\/p>\n

On the day of their wedding, the New Edition alum was “scared to death” and locked himself in a bathroom, where he was “drinking, smoking, sniffing” cocaine, he recalled candidly. It was his now-wife and then-friend di lui, Alicia Etheredge, who actually helped him overcome his jitters di lui – talking him out of the bathroom.<\/p>\n

When he did come out and felt ready to wed, he saw his bride-to-be for the first time and she was “doing a line of coke.” While he called it a “shocker” to see her “sniff for the first time,” amid his wedding day nerves – and worrying about whether he was doing the right thing – it made him feel like he “had more in common” with Houston than he thought.<\/p>\n

However, “I was new to [using cocaine] and she, I guess, had been doing it for a while, “he said.<\/p>\n

Brown said when he and Houston weren’t getting high, things were great. “She was just the kindest, sweetest person that I knew. They weren’t” in the throes of the disease “at first. They were focused on raising their new baby, Bobbi Kristina, who was born in 1993, and” would party “on the weekends. Cocaine soon” became a problem in our marriage …. After a while, we just lost our mind. “<\/p>\n

Brown admitted that in addition to cocaine, he was smoking heroin and crack, the latter of which he would mix with marijuana.<\/p>\n

“Being an addict is really hard,” said Brown, who has been sober from drugs for 20 years and alcohol for two years. “You don’t know you are an addict until it gets worse and worse and worse.”<\/p>\n
