Eminem marks 18 years of being clean and sober in latest update

Eminem is celebrating 18 years of sobriety.

Taking to his Instagram handle on Monday, the 53-year-old rapper shared a snap of himself holding a sobriety chip from Alcoholics Anonymous with the caption “XVII.”

As the image went viral, Eminem’s fans flooded the comments section to show their love for the Lose Yourself hitmaker.

“Inspiring… Congratulations on this milestone… So happy for you and the man you are,” penned an Instagram user.

“Fantastic work. We are so glad you’re still here,” added another one.

“so happy for you and the man you are,” commented a third one.

In 2015, in an interview with Men’s Journal, Eminem opened up about his drug addiction.

“In 2007, I overdosed on pills, and I went into the hospital,” the Grammy rapper told the outlet. “I was close to 230 pounds. I’m not sure how I got so big, but I have ideas.”

He further said, “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.”

“When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober,” continued the rapper.

“Unless I was blitzed out of my mind, I had trouble sleeping. So I started running. It gave me a natural endorphin high, but it also helped me sleep, so it was perfect,” added Eminem. It’s easy to understand how people replace addiction with exercise. One addiction for another but one that’s good for them.’
