Urban praised his wife, Nicole Kidman, and thanked his fans for their support
during his three-month stay at a rehab
center for alcohol abuse treatment, in a video posted on his Web
site.
Urban entered the Betty Ford Center in Rancho Mirage, Calif., on Oct. 19 for
what he thought would be a 30-day stay.
The 39-year-old country singer, who has publicly acknowledged a former
addiction to cocaine, said he decided to stay for three months because he
realized that learning to abstain
was only part of the process to recovery.
"Learning about abstinence was one thing, but then there was all this other
area of my life to start learning about, and so 30 days became 60, and 60 days
became 90, and with each week that passed I found myself really learning how to
surrender," he said.
Urban said the time he chose to enter rehab was "far from ideal."
He missed the release of his latest album, "Love, Pain & the whole crazy
thing," and wasn't present to accept his second male vocalist of the year honor
at the Country Music Association Awards.
"There was no big cataclysmic event that happened right before I went in,"
Urban said. "It was a lot of small things that were happening in my life, 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."
His message, recorded Thursday, was posted Monday.
Urban thanked fans for supporting him with hundreds of cards, letters and
e-mails.
"It helped so much. Especially through a lot of the lonely days, which there
was plenty of those in there," he said.
"But my wife stayed extraordinarily strong and loving, and 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."
Urban and Kidman, also 39, were wed last June in Australia, where both grew
up. They live in Nashville.
