Keith Urban

Keith Urban: (after completing his rehabilitation on January 18th, 2007) I'm really grateful for what I've been through, as weird as that sounds. It's actually really the best thing that's ever happened to me and I'm grateful to be on this side of it. It was time to readjust my direction, let's just say. Everyone was really supportive. There's a point where it becomes a life issue and you're career's just got to step aside so I can just take care of myself and I'm really grateful that the record company in Australia, EMI, did an amazing job of just standing by me and I got really great support from everyone in Australia.

Keith Urban: (on entering rehab in 2007) There was no big, cataclysmic event that happened right before I went in. But what it was, was a lot of small things that were happening in my life and a lot of small moments that were starting to accumulate that were telling me very loud and clear that I was a long way from my program of recovery and they were making my life unmanageable. I got to a point where I wanted to go into treatment. So, 30 days became 60, 70 days became 90 and, with each week that passed, I found myself really learning to surrender, especially with my career...

Keith Urban: (after his 2007 rehab stay) My wife stayed extraordinarily strong and loving. My friends and family were there and, man, it's just been really overwhelming. I feel so much gratitude and it feels really good to have gone through it and be where I am right now. I felt very, very loved and I felt very supported and made the time go by. I never felt alone. And, as I say, during that time, I started to learn a lot about myself and how I got to be in this position that I'm in right now. And it's hard to quantify what I learned in 90 days but, suffice to say, it's been one of the most impactful times in my whole life.
