"Amy Is Clean"
Mother Winehouse claims Amy has kicked her habit
AMY WINEHOUSE's mother JANIS is convinced her troubled daughter no longer uses drugs - insisting the star's recent health problems have scared her off illegal substances forever.
The Back To Black hitmaker was admitted to hospital in June after falling ill at her London home.
She was later diagnosed with traces of deadly lung disease emphysema.
And the singer's mum believes the health scare has finally put the 24-year-old on the road to recovery.
She tells British newspaper The Daily Mirror, "I really don't think she's using now. Being diagnosed with the early stage of emphysema was a real jolt to her. A bit of a wake-up call.
"She's got a constant PA by her side, a minder - plus there's a security guard watching her. I think things are really beginning to take shape to the good."

The family and Capio Nightingale have confrimed that Amy is participating in their opiod treatment system. That means Methadone. *** Methadone is functionally the same as heroin. It is marginally safer. When Amy drinks alcohol, however, Methadone will kill her as surely as street heroin. Breathing stops. However, she is at much lower risk from HIV/AIDS and other diseases. *** Amy needs 24/7 nursing support -- particularly someone trained for psychiatric nursing. Deficits from the 8/2007 Ketamine coma and 2/2008 crack binge continue, plus physical damage from the long staph infection, leaving this 24-year old at high risk. Alcohol + Methadone is very high risk. She is not up to caring for herself. *** Every life is a whole world.
