Eminem Details Drug Addiction and Overdose in New Documentary
In a new essay shared by XXL on Wednesday (Sept. 14), the rapper opens up about every step of his come-up, his struggle with addiction when he became famous and his future goals. By the time he left rehab, Eminem weight had ballooned to 230 pounds. He knew he needed to lose weight and to find a way to function sober.

Eminem has been sober since April 20, 2008, according to a 2020 what was eminem addicted to Twitter post, and made his 2009 album Relapse during the early days of recovery.
