Doja Cat struggled with alcohol and drugs: 'But I was never an alcoholic'

Doja Cat has publicly discussed her past struggles with alcohol and cocaine use, emphasizing the negative impact these substances had on her mental health. The artist, who has previously shared her diagnosis of borderline personality disorder, hopes that speaking openly about her experiences will help others avoid similar harmful cycles.

Doja Cat has opened up about her past struggles with substance abuse, clarifying in a TikTok video that while she experienced problems with alcohol and drugs, she does not consider herself an alcoholic. The singer explained that alcohol consumption often amplified the negative thoughts she was already experiencing, which were further exacerbated by her use of the internet. By sharing these personal experiences, she hopes to discourage others from combining these substances, noting the detrimental impact they had on her mental well-being.

Beyond her experiences with alcohol, the thirty-year-old artist revealed that she previously struggled with cocaine use, though she emphasized that this period is firmly in her past. Earlier this year, the Grammy-winning musician also disclosed her ongoing battle with borderline personality disorder, describing the condition as a painful experience for which she has been seeking therapy for several years. She continues to speak publicly about these challenges in an effort to provide support and insight to her audience.
