Eminem has previously suffered from addiction to pain and anxiety medication, which first began during the filming of his 2002 hit movie, 8 Mile.
His decision to go sober came soon after he suffered a near-fatal overdose from methadone.
Earlier this year, the Grammy-winning rapper opened up on an episode of Paul Rosenberg’s podcast about his near-fatal overdose on methadone 15 years ago.
“It took a long time for my brain to start working again,” Eminem said to his longtime manager.
Rosenberg recalled asking the doctors about any potential brain damage when things were looking grim in the hospital.
“Didn’t you ask the doctors when I first started rapping again, didn’t you say, ‘I just wanna make sure he doesn’t have brain damage’?” Eminem asked.
“Yeah. I thought you might have some permanent problems,” Rosenberg responded. “Yeah. I was concerned, for sure.”
Eminem also spoke about having to relearn his craft in the period after his recovery, and how that changed his next album, Relapse.
In the song 'Deja Vu' from the album, Eminem rapped in detail about the incident and how he tried to hide his addiction from his loved ones.
Meanwhile in the final two tracks on his album Revival, he explains his brush with death and the impact it had on his family.
