Blac Chyna is reflecting on her past struggle with alcohol and the nightmares she’s had since beginning her sobriety journey.

The rapper and TV personality — who now goes by her birth name Angela White — appeared on the Feb. 26 episode of Piers Morgan Uncensored and recalled the moment she realized she was an alcoholic.

“I thought, if you drink for like, two, three days straight, back to back, that that's not an alcoholic,” White, 36, explained. “In my eyes, an alcoholic was, you have to wake up, you need a drink. ‘I need a drink. I need a drink.’ But when I would drink an alcoholic drink, I wanted another one, and another one, and another one, and another one, and it's bingeing.”

“So I had to come to the realization like, hey, maybe I am an alcoholic,” she added.

White said she doesn’t miss alcohol “at all” and doesn’t struggle with temptation. She is so far removed from drinking that she only deals with nightmares about it.

“I literally have a lot of nightmares, where I'm asleep and I've drank in my sleep, and I will wake up, like, ‘Oh my gosh, are you serious?’ Because it’s like, I’m not starting over,” she said.

“Because I've started over,” she continued. “I would do, like, four months and then something happened. And I would start over and start over, do it again, do it again, and I would fail. So this time I’m like, I'm not going back to it. That's not the lifestyle that I want to live.”

White celebrated two years of sobriety in September 2024. In honor of the milestone she posted a video on Instagram alongside her kids — daughter Dream and son King. White shares Dream with Rob Kardashian and King with Tyga.

In the clip, White brought out a four-layer cake lit with two gold candles to enjoy with her children.

“Say happy birthday to Mom’s sobriety!” Dream, 8, said, telling followers to say the same to her mother in the comments.

“Every day that I’m sober is definitely worth it,” White said after giving her kids a kiss on the cheek as they sang to her. “Two years and more coming.”

White then shared some encouraging words to those who might be going through similar.

“If you guys are on your sobriety journey, keep going. Keep going. Every single day is worth it,” she said. “Cut out the negative people. Get into your fitness. Figure out your passion and what God wants you to do, and do exactly that.”
