The 15-time Grammy winner, who has previously spoken openly about his prescription pill addiction, revealed that he is celebrating 18 years of sobriety.

In an April 20 Instagram post, Eminem (born Marshall Bruce Mathers III) shared a zoomed-in photo of himself wearing a graphic T-shirt and holding a coin to commemorate the special occasion.

The coin's outer edge read "To thine own self be true," while "unity, service, and recovery" were etched in a triangle formation around the number 18 in Roman numerals.

Eminem, 53, captioned the photo with a gold medal emoji: "XVIII."

Previously, "The Real Slim Shady" rapper opened up about his addiction to prescription pills, which included Vicodin, Valium, Ambien, and Xanax, starting in the late '90s and ending around 2008, which led to a frightening health scare.

"I got into this vicious cycle of, 'I'm depressed, so I need more pills,'" Eminem stated in his 2025 documentary Stans, according to Us Weekly. "Then your tolerance gets so high that you end up overdosing."
