Eminem: 16 years of overcoming drugs, the Rap legend’s spectacular journey of recovery!

Eminem is celebrating a milestone on his sobriety journey.

The “Lose Yourself” rapper, 51, took to Instagram over the weekend to share a photo marking 16 years sober.

Included in the post, which had no caption, was a photo of Eminem holding a sobriety chip in his hand.


Eminem — whose real name is Marshall Mathers — opted not to caption the photo, letting the chip speak for itself. However, his post was met with an outpouring of love and support from some of his friends and fans.

Eminem’s longtime music manager and business partner Paul Rosenberg was among those cheering the rapper on, commenting, “Sweet 16. So proud of you.”

His brother, Nathan “Nate” Mathers, also replied, writing, “Greatest Influence and Mentor 🔥🔥.”

The “Rap God” artist suffered a near-fatal drug overdose in 2007 after years of struggling with addiction to Vicodin and Valium.

Speaking with Men’s Journal in 2015, Eminem explained that he managed to get clean, in part, when he replaced addiction with exercise, specifically running.


“When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober,” he explained at the time. “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.”

“It’s easy to understand how people replace addiction with exercise,” he added. “One addiction for another, but one that’s good for them.”


Meanwhile, the 16-year milestone comes just a few days after Eminem’s 28-year-old daughter, Hailie Jade Mathers, traveled with her sister, Alaina Marie Mathers, 30, and some friends to Tampa Bay, Florida, to celebrate Hailie’s bachelorette party.
