SHE'S only been in rehab a few days - but it looks like things are finally on-the-up for everyone's favorite soul diva, Amy Winehouse. The troubled star - famed for the anti-rehab lyrics "They tried to make me go to rehab I said no, no, no", checked into rehab last Thursday after a shocking video of her smoking, what appeared to be crack cocaine, surfaced on the internet.
And now, in what was her fourth day in rehab - yesterday - Amy has been delighting doctors with her progress, and is ACTUALLY making the effort to sort herself out.
The 24-year-old bee-hived songstress was persuaded to check into Central London's Nightingale Hospital on Thursday - after some "shock tactics" by her record label boss.
A relieved family friend said last night: “Although Amy is still taking each day at a time she has done the hardest thing in the world by going into rehab.
“She has been ill and is withdrawing but at least she is sticking with it as she detoxes.
“With her family’s support we are hopeful that there is finally light at the end of the tunnel as she weans herself off drugs.
“She will stay in rehab for as long as it takes even if it is three or four weeks.
“Nobody is saying it will be easy, but things are looking good at the moment and doctors are encouraged.”
The pal then went on to blast Amy's husband, Blake Fielder-Civil, after he made comments fearing Amy's habits could kill her within three months.
The friend added to British newspaper The Sun: “That is a complete joke. Before Amy met Blake she never took any Class A drugs.
“It is him who started her off on crack and heroin.
“She has gone into rehab so she lives to see her thirties, forties and fifties.
“It would destroy her to read his comments. Thankfully where she is means Amy has not got any contact with Blake at the moment.
“She has agreed to pay all his legal costs which could run into £300,000 [$600,00] or £400,000 [$800,000] when his trial begins.
“Blake’s family never offered to pay any of the money.
“But with his comments I am not sure if that arrangement will still exist.
“The truth is she is doing fine and needs support from people, not somebody knocking her.
“Doctors say it can take a few visits for patients to stay clean when they leave and Amy could easily still take a bit when she comes out.
“The classic way is for them to start doing drugs again then end up having to go back into rehab afterwards.
“Nobody is sure what will happen but we are all keeping our fingers crossed that this stint does her good.”
