This is when she supposedly wrote Whole Lotta Trouble the solo outing with Tom Petty and Bob Dylan in Australia, but Nicks was threatened by Australian authorities with expulsion from the country for not carrying a work permit.
The tour marked a turning point in her career: although she had achieved significant critical acclaim, drugs were taking a toll on her performing, limiting her vocal range and pitch severely and changing her on-stage persona.
It was at the end of the Australian tour that Nicks checked herself into the Betty Ford Center.

Life gave me you; the change was made
And there's no beginning over
You are not happy, but what is love?
Hate gave you me for a lover... And if you go forward, I'll meet you there
And if you climb up through the cold freezing air
Look down below you; search out above
And cry out to life for a frozen love
