Eminem<\/a> is celebrating another impressive milestone.<\/span><\/p>\n The “Godzilla” rapper took to Instagram on Saturday to share his <\/span>latest accomplishment in his sobriety journey<\/a>:\u00a0his 16-year chip.<\/span><\/p>\n The 51-year-old entertainer’s post showed him holding out his hand with the silver Alcoholics Anonymous coin celebrating the milestone with the number 16 inside a triangle, representing the three pillars of the organization — unity, service and recovery.<\/span><\/p>\n Eminem — whose real name is Marshall Mathers — opted not to caption the photo, letting the chip speak for itself. However,\u00a0his post was met with an outpouring of love and support from some of his friends and fans.<\/span><\/p>\n Eminem’s longtime music manager and business partner Paul Rosenberg was among those cheering the rapper on, commenting, “Sweet 16. So proud of you.”<\/span><\/p>\n His brother,\u00a0Nathan “Nate” Mathers, also replied, writing, “Greatest Influence and Mentor \ud83d\udd25\ud83d\udd25.”<\/span><\/p>\n The “Rap God” artist <\/span>suffered a near-fatal drug overdose in 2007<\/a>\u00a0after years of struggling with addiction to Vicodin and Valium.<\/span><\/p>\n Speaking with\u00a0<\/span>Men’s Journal<\/em><\/a>\u00a0in 2015,\u00a0Eminem explained that he managed to get clean, in part, when he replaced addiction with exercise, specifically running.<\/span><\/p>\n “When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober,” he explained at the time. “Unless I was blitzed out of my mind, I had trouble sleeping. So I started running. It gave me a natural endorphin high, but it also helped me sleep, so it was perfect.”<\/span><\/p>\n “It\u2019s easy to understand how people replace addiction with exercise,” he added. “One addiction for another, but one that’s good for them.”<\/span><\/p>\n Meanwhile, the 16-year milestone comes just a few days after Eminem’s 28-year-old daughter,\u00a0<\/span>Hailie Jade Mathers<\/a>, traveled with her sister,\u00a0Alaina Marie Mathers, 30, and some friends to Tampa Bay, Florida, <\/span>to celebrate Hailie’s bachelorette party<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n Hailie\u00a0<\/span>got engaged<\/a>\u00a0to longtime beau\u00a0Evan McClintock in February 2023.
