Eminem: "My Kids Help Me Stay Sober"

Marshall Mathers - aka Eminem, spent his teenage years onward feeding a drug and alcohol addiction. Less than three years ago, at the age of 35, his world changed after overdosing on methadone.

After a failed stint in rehab in his home state of Michigan, Eminem checked himself into a hospital where he was weaned off the drugs that had become such a crutch in his life, and has been sober ever since.

He credits his three daughters, Whitney, Alaina, and Hailie, for providing him with the motivation to stay drug-free, and says that he is now living a healthy lifestyle. Of his daughters he said,

My kids help me stay sober, and also I see a rehab counsellor once a week. I've been clean for two years. I love my kids so much, and they've helped me through so many things."

Eminem has been married twice to Kimberly Scott, his highschool sweetheart. The two have one biological daughter together, Hailie, 14, while Eminem adopted Kim's daughter from another relationship Whitney, as well as Kim's sisters child, Alaina.

Not a huge fan of some of his lyrics, but you can't help but notice how devoted he is to his children.

Em,

I am so proud of you!

I'll be celebrating 22 years of sobriety and I happy to say, "Tu eres el mero, mero!"

He got married to her again a few years ago but divorced once more. He kept the girls though, he's a sweetheart. I love this man.

The daughter that is his ex wife's niece has been with him continually, even when Kim/Em weren't together. She has a twin brother with some developmental issues who stays with family (Alaina does). He took on his wife's other daughter and accepted her as well. I'm not his biggest fan but he's a great father. I was a fan of his since about 98, as he was a local rapper. I stopped being a fan for other reasons.

I love Eminem's music, always have done and I am very proud to see that he is now off the drugs for good. Also, you can just see the love he has for his daughters and two of them aren't even his! I bet he is a better father than those girls' real dads could ever be. Well done, Em. I love you, mahhnn<3
