The 'Lose Yourself' rapper became sober on April 20, 2008, five months after experiencing a nearly-fatal methadone overdose.

“In 2007, I overdosed on pills, and I went into the hospital,” he said. “I was close to 230 pounds. I’m not sure how I got so big, but I have ideas," Eminem said in 2015 of his accidental overdose.
