Eminem Comeback, Sobriety Made It Happen

The mega star Eminem has made a comeback with a new album titled ‘Relapse’. He has been sober since April 20th 2008. Although Eminem does not specifically talk about alcohol abuse in his interview with The New York Times, he does speak of sobriety. He speaks openly in both his interview and his album about his battle with addiction.
Since Eminem’s decision to get sober, he has been through rehab and a full 12 Step recovery program, he has done this with the aid of a sponsor and a therapist.

Some of his quotes were easy to relate to;

“I don’t know if I am exposing myself , I’m kind of just coming clean and exhaling”

“I was the worse kind of addict, a functioning addict”

” I was so into my addiction at one point that I couldn’t picture myself being able to do anything without some kind of drug”

“The deeper I got into my addiction, the tighter the lid got on my creativity”

“When I got sober the lid just came off. In seven months I accomplished more than I could accomplish in three or four years doing drugs”

“I’m blessed enough to be able to have an outlet”

I think we can all relate to his words.
