Seemingly clean Whitney Houston's shocking confession!

Troubled diva Whitney Houston who battled a crack cocaine battle when married to bad boy hubby Bobby Brown told a stunned Oprah Whitney she still wants the stuff!

"Don't think I don't have desires for it," the recovering addict told the Big O.

"It takes me a minute to cleanse. I have to pray it away.  I take things one day at a time. If I get weak, I know who I can turn to.

"I know God loves me."

Because Lord knows Bobby didn't, evidently, as he confessed he had cheated on his superstar wife in chilling tell-all autobiography Bobby Brown: The Truth, the Whole Truth and Nothing.

And yet, Whitney did admit she still drinks booze but it's not a gateway drug for a complete road to ruin . . . now.
