LOS ANGELES
Rap king Eminem is celebrating 12 years of abstinence from alcohol and drugs. The 47-year-old recording artiste, who has battled addiction over the years, took to Instagram on Monday to share the news.
"Clean dozen, in the books! I'm not afraid," Eminem wrote in a reference to his 2010 hit "Not Afraid". The rapper shared the picture of a coin, which is given to Alcoholics Anonymous members when they achieve a milestone in their journey, featured a Roman numeral XII (meaning 12) engraved on it, along with words "unity", "service" and "recovery".
