Angela White, aka Blac Chyna, is still going strong after announcing her body transformation. She posted images of herself on Instagram to honor one year of sobriety.
The ex-reality star shared her experience with the caption: “September 14, 2023 marks my one-year of sobriety this year taught me a lot about myself. I made up my mind on September 14, 2022 that I was done with the alcohol. This process is not easy but I did it, I plan on continuing practicing sobriety.”
The 35-year-old also thanked the people who have been actively supporting her and encouraged others who find themselves on a similar journey, saying, “I’m hoping that when you see this, this will inspire you if you are struggling with any addiction, just know that you can do it and you are worth it. God loves you. It’s so many different apps, and groups that can help you with this journey, and you’re not alone.”

As part of the celebration, she appeared as a guest on The Tamron Hall Show, where she revealed how determined she was to follow through on her commitment.
“Not even a little shot, a little wine, a little this, nothing. Like ‘No, I’m good. No, I’m straight. I’ll take a Red Bull,’” Chyna said to Hall, according to People. She went on to say that the hope of being able to help others in ways other than money inspires her on her journey to recovery.
“What helped me was bringing myself down to reality and then realizing, like, ‘OK, am I hurting or helping other people around me?’ And helping not with money or things like that but I didn’t want to continue hurting the people around me or even have my kids grow up, seeing me doing this stuff,” she revealed.
In an unexpected twist, the host then called out Chyna’s mother, reality TV star Tokyo Toni, who presented her daughter with a bouquet of helium-filled balloons. Toni, 51, and Chyna reconciled earlier this summer following a brief altercation.
Toni embraced her daughter and sat with her on the couch, sharing how difficult it was for her to raise Chyna as a single teen mother. She expressed her pride in seeing the changes in her daughter. “What it does for me to see her growth, because Hollywood, it does things to people. It changes you and to see her be different, meaning in a bad way, I had to go in to pull her out,” she remarked.
According to ET, throughout the last year, Chyna has been transparent about her self-care journey, which included undergoing many treatments to dissolve facial fillers and reversing her cosmetic surgeries, including breast reduction and removing silicone injections from her buttocks.
“Seeing her sober, no makeup, fillers gone, this is who I birthed. Angela. This is who I birthed. And she has, for everyone in the world to know, she has the biggest heart in the world. She has a very big heart,” her mother shared.
Chyna appeared on the show without makeup to emphasize her transformation. “This is my day,” she remarked. “I get dressed and I do the makeup and the glam and everything, and I feel like that’s more of the Blac Chyna-brand side. This is just me, this is Angela,” explaining her decision to go barefaced to Hall.
To share in the joy, the talk show host gave her a purple “Congratulations” cake and a bouquet of flowers.
