Whitney Houston referred to herself as a "soldier girl" as she continued to open up in her interview with Oprah Winfrey about her drug abuse, her divorce from Bobby Brown and the other trials she faced before returning to the spotlight.

Houston said she is no longer on drugs but at times does have a desire to use again. "I pray it away," she told Oprah of her temptations.

"The Oprah Show" aired the second portion of Houston's interview on Tuesday and the music icon reveals that it was her daughter, Bobbi Kristina Brown, that helped her decide to get out of her marriage. "She said, 'You don't deserve that and neither do I,'" Houston said Bobbi Kristina told her.

Oprah questioned Houston as to why she chose to stay in such a volatile situation for so long. The music icon said she stayed out of "habit [and] conforming to a way of life."

After she finally separated from Brown, Houston said, "I literally stayed in my pajamas six, seven months."

Now, Houston is back on top with her first album of original songs in seven years, titled I Look to You, topping the Billboard album chart. Bobbi Kristina spoke of her mother fondly on Oprah's show, saying, "Words can't explain how proud I am of her."
