LOS ANGELES - Rocker Courtney Love told a judge that she has put her drug problems behind her and said she has a renewed outlook on life.
Love, 41, appeared in court Friday as part of a progress report after violating probation in three criminal cases. Judge Rand Rubin sentenced Love to 180 days at a drug treatment facility but was released to an outpatient program in November.
Rubin ended that requirement but ordered her to return to court on May 12.
"You're doing really, really well," Rubin said. "We're all pleased with your progress."
Love, the former lead singer for the band Hole and the widow of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain, admitted in August that she had violated her probation in three cases, including two drug-related charges.
But Love said she has improved over the past several months.
"I feel like I'm getting my creativity back ... and that I've put a very gnarly drug problem behind me," Love said in court. "I want the court and the community to know I feel great."
Love must continue to submit to random, checks twice a week for drugs and alcohol. She also must avoid any business that has alcohol as its primary sales and continue therapy.
Love, whose probation was extended until March 2007, also must continue counseling.

Wow, she looks great. All the luck to her.
Who wants to make book?
I sincerely wish her luck.
She has kind of a "man hands" thing going on, but yeah, other than not, not bad.
She does look much better than the trainwreck of a person she was a few months ago. I hope she stays clean. She's 41 now. Time to put the drugs away.
And her daughter? Frances Bean looks more and more like her father with each passing year.
May God Bless they who choose the path to righteousness.
Hopefully she has come to realize that her body is God's Temple, and that she will stop doing things to destroy it.
Ain't that the truth. From what I hear, she may turn out to be a pretty normal kid. Shocking, considering her parents.
