Rock star Courtney Love has been sober for a year and three months and credits Buddhism with helping her get her life back on track. The singer has just released a new book, "Dirty Blonde: The Diaries Of Courtney Love," which includes old photographs, scribbled song lyrics and even an email exchange with Lindsay Lohan regarding dealing with negative press coverage.

Love insists her hard-partying days are behind her and claims her conversion to Buddhism helped her remain sober.

She explains, "I'm a Buddhist now and I chant every day. I chant for a long time. Some people that chant, I'm just going to out them, Orlando Bloom chants, Tina Turner, they do half an hour a day. But I was doing four and five hours a day sometimes. With smoke breaks!"
