54-year-old Keith Urban is opening up about his journey to sobriety and how his wife, Nicole Kidman helped him. Keith spent time in rehab multiple times before actually getting sober for good a few months after marrying Nicole in 2006.
Keith said he was addicted to alcohol and cocaine. He joked, “Everyone does what they want to do to have a great time. I just realized I’m allergic to it. Someone said, ‘You have an allergy? What happens when you drink?’ And I said, ‘I break out in cuffs.'”
