'Scared' Love promises to clean up
Troubled rocker Courtney love has vowed to stay away from drugs for good, in an effort to regain custody of her daughter Frances Bean and revive her career.
The widow of Nirvana's Kurt Cobain admits her string of legal drug-related problems, which have made her a regular fixture in New York and Los Angeles courthouses, has made her "scared" - and she's determined to straighten her life out.
She tells the Los Angeles Times: "The court cases are like a lagging indicator in economics. They show where I was, not where I am… I'm doing okay. I'm doing well, as a matter of fact. It's so stupid, but I even enjoyed the martyrdom. I'm program girl now.
"I went to this rehab place. I had a really rough time. I had done that once, after (Frances') dad died, and I did it again. I did it because you know what? It's not worth it to be on any pills.
"As long as I take nothing, nothing bad can happen to me. And I wasn't doing it for everyone else (although) there's a lot of people here swimming in my stroke.
"I never did drugs when I was working, I held the writing part of me above the drugs. But the things is I was never scared before. That's the new thing."
Frances Bean, 11, is currently living with a nanny and a relative at Love's Beverly Hills, California, home, while the rocker stays at a hotel nearby.
