In the course of her international breakthrough, Winehouse struggled with mental health problems and drug abuse, and Blake Fielder-Civil, to whom she was married from 2007 to 2009, has been attributed some of the blame for her drug addiction. In an interview, he confessed to introducing Winehouse to hard drugs. He also prevented her from going to rehab on several occasions. When Winehouse separated from him at the end of 2008, she at least managed to get off illegal drugs. However, Winehouse still had her alcohol problems, which worsened during her detox, and from 2007 to the end of 2008 she suffered from bulimia, which was triggered by her drug addiction. The press reported on her self-harming behaviour; her father confirmed this.
