A: Yeah, she was the first person who wouldn't put up with my bull---- any longer. That's not to blame anybody else, because I have a lot of great friends and I'm close to my family. They were hanging in there with me. But Amanda was ready to bail and she made that clear to me. I didn't think I'd be able to quit drinking on my own. After I said that a couple of times, she made a few phone calls to people she knew I respected and cared about. She told them (I needed to go) to rehab. Once she did that, I had to stick with it. It was not an easy thing for her to do — calling my manager and Ryan Adams and my mom, saying "OK, he's going to rehab on Monday whether he likes it or not." But I don't think I would have gone if she hadn't taken that kind of initiative.
