Legendary Rapper Eminem Shares His Journey Of Sobriety
Eminem took to Twitter to share a huge milestone with fans.
The Detroit MC posted a photo of his sobriety chip on Twitter and Instagram with a commemorative caption, “11 years – still not afraid.”
Em has been candid about his addiction over the years and has spoken about his 2007 overdose that nearly ended his life.
“I overdosed on pills, and I went into the hospital,” Eminem told Men’s Journal during a 2015 profile. “I was close to 230 pounds. I’m not sure how I got so big, but I have ideas. The coating on the Vicodin and the Valium I’d been taking for years leaves a hole in your stomach, so to avoid a stomachache, I was constantly eating—and eating badly.”
Major salute to Em on the huge achievement.
