Courtney Love told a judge that she has put her drug problems behind her and that she has a new 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 had sentenced Love to 180 days at a drug treatment center, but she was released to an outpatient program in November.

Rubin ended the outpatient requirement but ordered her to return to court May 12.

“You’re doing really, really well,” Rubin said. “We’re all pleased with your progress.”

Love, the former leader the band Hole and the wife of late 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.”
