Post 4 and 5
Eminem has over come a lot. One thing that took him awhile to over come was his drug addiction. One of the ways he over came this addiction was announcing to the public that he is addicted to perscription pills, mostly Vicodine, Valium, and Ambien. He admitted to taking up to 20 pills or more a day. Elton John is who helped him over come this addiction. He went through rehab in 2005, but he almost died from a near-fatal overdose after an acquaintance gave him several unidentified blue pills. Later a doctor told him that those blue pills were actually methadone. Eminem went to Elton because he once had an addiction and he says that Elton understands the pressure. Marshall says that he no longer has time for drugs when he has a daughter who looks up to him and that he has to be responsible for her.

It is clear that drug addictions are extremely difficult to overcome. The fact that Eminem realized and admitted his porblem then found someone to help him out really sets him aside from other drug addicts. He found someone that he knew once had the same issue and made a serious attempt to become and better person and get over his addiction. He was honest with himself and very brave unlike most other addicts that do not identify the problem and do not make an attempt to change. :]
