Eminem has reached 18 years of sobriety, celebrating the achievement by posting a photo of a coin commemorating the milestone.

The 53-year-old shared the news on Instagram on Monday, receiving congratulations from some of his industry friends, including Questlove, Big Sean, and scores of his fans. “Congrats my man! BTW, Nice t-shirt,” commented rapper and DJ D-Nice, as Eminem happened to be wearing the producer’s “To tha Rescue” shirt. 

Eminem, born Marshall Mathers, has long been open about his sobriety, which followed an accidental methadone overdose in December 2007. It was a culmination of years struggling with his addiction, which “started to become a problem” in the early 2000s while he was filming 8 Mile.
