Eminem, a.k.a. Marshall Mathers, has been outspoken about his battle with addiction, as well as his steps to recover, throughout his career.

Back in 2020, he celebrated 12 years sober by sharing a photo of his sobriety chip to mark the accomplishment.

\"Clean dozen, in the books! I'm not afraid,\" he captioned the snap at the time.
