London, Sep 16 - Troubled singer Whitney Houston admits that she still fights the urge to take drugs but turns to god whenever the temptation becomes too strong.

'Don't think I don't have desires for it. It takes me a minute to cleanse. I have to pray to God to get over that temptation,' femalefirst.co.uk quoted Houston as saying.

'I know that whenever I turn weak, I can turn to God. I know he loves me,' she added.

Whitney admitted that she is now completely free from drugs, but sometimes she takes alcohol.
