Creeping Towards Recovery

Posted by Bossip Staff

Amy Winehouse and her embattled sobriety are making strides, but staying put in the Caribbean for the time being.

Amy Winehouse’s mother has denied the star is set to return to Britain following her extended holiday in the Caribbean – insisting the singer needs more time to recover. Winehouse has been enjoying a sunshine break in the resort since December (08) following numerous health problems throughout 2008. She was rumoured to be eyeing a return to London to begin plotting her chart comeback before she was hospitalised on the island last week (13Feb09).The emergency is said to have been triggered when Winehouse ran out of prescription medication used in her battle against drink and drugs. And the star’s mum, Janis, insists that although the holiday is having a positive affect on her daughter’s health, she still has a long way to go before she is ready to return home. Janis tells British magazine Heat, “Amy is in a really good place at the moment. She’s eating well and has put on some weight, which I’m really pleased about. “She’s also been doing so much out there to clear her head. She has no plans to come back home right now and definitely doesn’t want to go back to (her home in ) Camden. Who knows where she’ll go, but for now she wants to be away from it all.” And Janis admits she’s pleased the star agreed to the break – because it removed her from negative influences in London. She adds, “She just needed to get away from certain people around her who were bringing her down. She’ll be OK, she just needs to stay away from those people and her family will do everything we can to ensure she does.”

At the rate Amy was going back home, she might just wanna set up shop in the islands for good.
