Being the overachievers that they are, Blake Fielder-Civil and Amy Winehouse have done the impossible. Somehow they’ve been able to defy the odds and maintain a relationship in which the sober moments are sacrificed in favor of horse tranquilizer/cocaine concoctions. Many celebrity couples have tried to mix love and drugs before, but most fail miserably. Kate Moss & Pete Doherty, Whitney Houston & Bobby Brown, and Kim & Eminem are all losers in this category. After conquering every drug known to mankind, and an incarceration, Blake and Amy are the clear winners.

After all the public fights, near drug overdoses, and rare conjugal visits, one might ask, “What keeps them together?” I can’t shed much light on the subject, but I do know that the beauty of their relationship is that they’ve seen one another at their absolute worst, and still love each other. While many relationships are shrouded in mystery, deception, and lies, Blake and Amy made a “for better or worse” commitment to each other on their first date to crack-alley. Oh, young love!

Blake and Amy have something that very few of us will ever share in a relationship. And, no, I’m not talking about needles, crack-pipes or hallucinations. This drugged-out duo shares an existence on another plane of reality that members of sober society can never hope to understand. How many people on this earth are familiar with the euphoria of snorting Absinthe and Adderall? How many times have you thrown a bottle of wine at your boyfriend when your argument about which drug dealer to call got a little heated? How often do you wake up to find your girlfriend, who recently lost control of her bodily functions, sleeping on the bathroom floor? Until we familiarize ourselves with these experiences, how can we hope to ever understand Blake and Amy’s relationship? I’m not even going to try, the task is too daunting.

When it comes to Blake and Amy, we have to remember that love is similar to a powerful drug. The highs are strong and addicting. Coming down is the worst feeling in the world, and withdrawals are miserable. But unlike drugs, love is the only overdose I’d like to see Blake and Amy experience.
