"The bigger the crowd, the bigger my habit got," Eminem says in the latest issue of GQ.
The famous rapper opened up for the magazine, talking about the addiction that almost got him killed.
"I'm very much a creature of habit," the rapper reveals for the publication. "If I'm used to waking up in the morning and having [a Red Bull], I could do it every morning for the next ten years straight until I find something else to move on to. So if I'm used to taking a Vicodin when I wake up in the morning because I'm hungover from ¬drinking or taking pills."
When asked what made him seek help, Eminem said: "I had a feeling in my arm that was weird, man. Like, it really freaked me out. So I went to some people I trust and said, 'Look, I know I need help. I'm ready now.' I got a room in the same hospital where I overdosed, and I detoxed."
As for addiction itself, the artist is happy the nightmare is now over. According to him, addictions are the worst thing a public person can face: "I wish I was wired like a regular person and could go have a f-ckin’ drink,. But that’s the biggest thing about addiction: When you realize that you cannot f-ck around with nothing ever again. I never understood when people would say it’s a disease. Like, ‘Stop it, dickhead. It’s not a disease!’ But I finally realized it really is.”by FW Editor |
