Eminem has come forward about his battle with drug abuse and trying to get clean in a new documentary, How To Make Money Selling Drugs.
The documentary ,directed by Matthew Cook, shows Eminem talking about his four year battle with painkiller and sedative abuse which led to a near-fatal overdose in 2005.
He shed light on the effects the drugs had on his body, saying: "My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything. They were going to have to put me on dialysis. They didn't think I was gonna make it. My bottom was gonna be death. Within a month (after leaving hospital), I had relapsed and shot right back up to the same amount of pills that I was taking. I remember just walking around my house thinking every single day, I'm gonna f**king die."
The rapper stated that he is still recovering for the damage the drugs inflicted on his body, and that it has been a difficult process. He encourages addicts, saying it does get better.

"You just couldn't believe that anybody could ever be naturally happy, or naturally function or just enjoy life in general without being on something. I would say that to anybody that it does get better, it just does."
Last week, Eminem premiered his first solo material in years and an album is on its way.
