Amy Winehouse has substituted drug addictions for a workout habit that eats up hours of her day.
Winehouse has a private gym where she spends hours on a daily basis. Her father, Mitch, a vocal supporter of his embattled daughter, explained that the gym habit is a "positive addiction".
"Everything at the moment is under control. Sometimes – and I'm not talking about Amy – but sometimes other addictions come after another addiction. One of Amy's positive addictions is she's got her own gym. She's in the gym three or four hours a day. I mean boy is she fit – really, really fit. So that's a really positive addiction."
Mitch echoed the belief that the addict had to hit rock bottom to pull themselves out. He said: "We've got a wonderful family. It's been difficult, but what you've got to realise is Amy's the one who decided to change. Whatever I said at the time would go in one ear and out the other. It was her decision to give up drugs. She was the one who started the process. She was the one who carried it all the way through and we encourage her and help her in any way that we can. But you know, not enough recognition is given to her. As a family we just did what we were doing – being a family.
Mitch also explained that Amy's recent breast enhancement followed weight loss that left her upper body sagging. "I think that when she lost all that weight, the weight never came back on her boobs and they were saggy. So whatever the reason is, she looks great now," he said.
