June 2016Urban tells Rolling Stone that he “caused the implosion of my fresh marriage” before going to rehab in 2006. “It survived but it’s a miracle it did. I was spiritually awoken with her. I use the expression ‘I was born into her’ and that’s how I feel. And, for the first time in my life, I could shake off the shackles of addiction.”
