Eminem is celebrating 16 years of sobriety.
The “Lose Yourself” rapper took to Instagram this week to share a photo of himself holding a sobriety chip in his hand to celebrate the milestone.
The coin featured the number 16 written inside a triangle with the words “Unity,” “Service” and “Recovery” written in a circle.
Eminem, born Marshall Mathers III was congratulated by several stars and fans in the comments section of his post.
Eminem has long been vocal about his past struggles with substance abuse and alcohol.
In 2007, the “Real Slim Shady” rapper, 51, suffered a near-fatal overdose after ingesting a massive dose of methadone.
The close call with death forced Eminem to give up his pill-popping lifestyle and get in shape.
