Blake Fielder-Civil admits he introduced his wife, Amy Winehouse, to drugs in a new interview.

I dragged Amy into it, and without me there is no doubt that she would never have gone down that road," Fielder-Civil told the U.K.'s News of the World. "I ruined something beautiful.

Listen to excerpts from Fielder-Civil's taped interview.

He said he would end their marriage to stop her from killing herself.

"Now I have to let her go to save her life. I am not abandoning her. I am doing this out of love," he said. "I have had to live with that for the past year that I have been in prison and I have got so much remorse.

In the interview, Fielder-Civil, 26, admitted to introducing Winehouse, 25, to crack cocaine and self-injury. He said that Winehouse only smoked marijuana before he gave her hard drugs. He also described watching Winehouse have a seizure after an all-day binge.

"It was heartbreaking seeing someone you love more than yourself, someone you would die for, someone you would kill for, on the floor shaking," he said.

Fielder-Civil admitted that "it's my fault" and said he'd been in tears and speaking to counselors about how he and Winehouse can't be together.

"If it wasn't for drugs, me and Amy would be so happy. Just without that in our lives -- without crack and without heroin -- Amy would be making beautiful music," he said.

He reached out to Winehouse through News of the World: "I'm sorry that love isn't enough... I'm sorry that we can't be normal together."

The couple wed in May 2007 in Miami Beach. They were both arrested for marijuana possession in October of that year. Fielder-Civil was then sent to jail after being charged with conspiracy involving alleged witness tampering. He was released Nov. 5.

    I am surprised that she is alive but glad she is. She is talented and if she ever goes to rehab to get straight she will be an amazing entertainer. He doesn't need to divorce her he needs to get clean with her. Love isn't divorcing her it is getting clean, straightening out your life and helping her do the same. Grow up, get clean, set a good example and pray for her to do the

    Omg! That is so sad. I love Amy Winehouse and I know Blake just wants to do the right thing for her, but is this really it? They love each other so much and I think they would be so sad if they divorced. I really want Amy to be happy because I think she is such a good singer and is so talented. If she could just have some time with Blake then they would both feel so much better.

    It's good that he is admitting his role in her drug addiction, that honesty will help with his own addiction, but she has to take responsibility and save herself, he can't. He can want sobriety for her, her family can want it, the world can want it for her, but until SHE wants it and wants it more than she wants the drugs she will sadly remain addicted.

    This is ridiculous. It's so weak to let someone else take the blame for something you've done to yourself. She is a grown up, she could have said no or stopped. They are both screwed in the head - who gives a rats a - - about either of them, she has no talent and was never beautiful.
