"There was a lot made of my going to rehab, and it seems very dramatic, but it wasn't like that. I just became aware of my drinking as a tool to relax when I don't work. I basically went to a country club where they didn't serve alcohol." As for the notion that he overempathized with Cash's loss, he says, "That's simplistic.
