Eminem Reveals Near-Fatal Overdose, Sobriety Turnaround in New Documentary

Eminem, in his new documentary "Stans," opens up about his near-fatal overdose in 2007, which was a result of a decade-long struggle with prescription drug addiction including Vicodin, Valium, Ambien, and Xanax. He describes waking up in the hospital confused and unable to move, realizing he had reached a dangerous point where his tolerance led to an overdose. The pivotal moment for his recovery came when he learned he had missed his daughter Hailie Jade's guitar recital, which deeply moved him and motivated him to commit to sobriety. Despite the challenges, including relearning how to walk, talk, and rap, Eminem embraced sobriety as a superpower and took pride in overcoming his addiction. The documentary also features appearances from Dr. Dre and LL Cool J and highlights Eminem's journey to regain his creative abilities and rebuild his life. It is currently being shown in theaters across the U.S., providing fans with an intimate look into his battle and triumph over addiction.
