Beaten Demons...

[Press Association Report]

I've beaten my demons, says Whitney

Whitney Houston claims to have beaten her demons and is ready to make her singing comeback - again.

Now 40 and sober after a stint in rehab, she claims: "I've emerged from a long, long fog.

"I'm clean, I'm sober, I feel reborn and I'm loving life. I came so close to throwing it all away.

"Now I cherish every second of the day. I have rededicated my life to my family and my career and I am happier now than I can ever remember being.

"These past three years have been a very long period. I thank God we have emerged back into the light."
