KEY POINTS:
LONDON - Singer Pete Doherty has vowed to stay off drugs after a magistrate revoked the remaining months of his compulsory supervision order.
Doherty's pledge was made outside court just moments after a magistrate congratulated him on his progress in tackling his drug problem.
"I think I am going to have to," 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."
Surrounded by reporters and a dozen photographers, Doherty, 28, said he just wanted to "get out on the road with the boys" to play more music with his band Babyshambles.
Meanwhile Doherty has reportedly ended his romance with fiancee Irina Lazareanu.
The had a blazing row with the Romanian model on Monday night after he grew tired of her constantly following him around.
"Irina has been following him around like a bad smell since the moment she caught his eye," a source told Britain's The Sun newspaper.
"He got engaged in a moment of madness when he was off his head before he checked into rehab and has been questioning his sanity ever since.
"She was always telling Pete what to do and where to go, and in the end he had to tell her it was over. Everyone's happy she's gone it wasn't doing anything for band relations."
Pete has now been telling friends he wants to woo ex-lover Kate Moss back.
At yesterday's review hearing Thames Magistrates Court in east London heard that Doherty had been making good progress in his fight against drugs.
The hearing was held to gauge his progress in drug rehabilitation after a string of court appearances in recent months. Doherty has spent two days a week in voluntary drug rehabilitation and has attended Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
Magistrate Jane McIvor cancelled the last six months of his forced rehabilitation which was compulsory under the court order.
"I am going to revoke the last six months of the order," she said. "There is no need for any statutory supervision or state funding because the plan that's already in place, the experts have convinced me, is going to be followed."
Asked to comment on his progress, Doherty, wearing a black suit and tie, told the court: "Yeah (I am) quite proud really, it's the beginning."
His lawyer Sean Curran told the court it was a "long road ahead" which has just started.
The singer, who had an on-off relationship with supermodel Kate Moss, has been repeatedly arrested for drugs offences in recent months.
Moss ended their relationship in June after Pete allegedly cheated on her with South African model Lindi Hingston.
Although the 33-year-old beauty is currently romancing The Kills star Jamie Hince, friends say she is still besotted with Pete.
In August, it was reported Kate who has a five-year-old daughter, Lila Grace, from a previous relationship had rekindled her romance with Pete after the pair spent five nights together at exclusive London hotel Claridge's.
During one late-night heart-to heart, Kate told Pete she was "miserable without him and desperately happy with him."
