I need information about eminems drug problem?

Question by Medina K: I need information about eminems drug problem?
I’m doing a health project and you have to write about a famous person who had a drug problem. I picked eminem a.k.a marshall mathers. I searched the web for information about his drug problem but i couldnt really find anything. I need to know what happened to him throughout his career , like when did he start using the drugs, when did he stop using them what kinda drugs did he use, when did it start affecting him , etc , And the questions i need answered are:

1. How did the addiction affect the persons career?
2. How did the addiction affect the persons relationship?
3. How did he start to get involved in drugs?
4. Was the person able to overcome his addiction? If so, how?

his addictions affected his career in quite a positive way, they actually served as the crazy lyrical madness that he produces. all of his older albums such as slim shady lp, marshall mathers lp, he was using im pretty sure.

im pretty sure they didnt affect his relationships in any good way though.

he has been around drugs his entire life. thats how someone gets involved.

he has definitely over come his addiction, you just really need to listen to his music, if you dont know about his music then you dont know him. go listen to “the slim shady LP” then move onto “the marshall mathers LP” then listen to “Recovery” and tell me if you hear a difference. its almost inspiring.
