No More Babysitting for Pete Doherty
Pete Doherty's word of honor is good enough for a judge.
The troubled Babyshambles frontman vowed Wednesday to stay off drugs, shortly after Judge Jane McIvor released him from court supervision.
McIvor revoked Doherty's drug-treatment order six months early, saying she was confident he would continue to follow it.
Doherty has been attending voluntary drug rehabilitation sessions twice a week, and he has also dropped by Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
The rocker has already been supervised for over 18 months, and managed to rack up numerous drug-related arrests over that time period.
However, the judge was apparently unconcerned that he will have problems beating his addictions.
"I wish you well," McIvor told Doherty.
Outside the courthouse, Doherty told reporters he planned to stay clean—but that if he ever needed a release, he could always visit a pub, as opposed to his dealer.
"I think I am going to have to [give up drugs]," he said. "I have kind of had enough, really.
"It is just the beginning, you know what I mean, in their eyes. My life has changed, but I'm still a little bit wobbly. I am taking it one day at a time."
Doherty, 28, said he was still undergoing treatment and was eager to get back on the road with his band.
In the meantime, he's due back in court Friday to be sentenced on charges of driving while in possession of illegal drugs, stemming from his May 5 arrest.
