He deserves more respect for this than for any music he has ever released.

[Amaranthine]

Couldn't agree more.

I always wondered about his sobritey date because I remembered reading this in 2009 Complex interview:

So you're stone-sober these days?

Eminem: Yeah, it'll be 18 months on the 20th [of October]. I realized I can't touch anything, and that's why I'm clean right now and why I'm going to stay clean. My brain just doesn't know when to shut off. When I do something I have to do it all the way—that goes for music, with a high-hat, a snare drum, a rhyme, everything. I have to push it to the extreme. That's how I realized I have addictive behavior. Somebody told me this once, that the thing that makes me bad is the same thing that makes me good at other things.

Huh. There's another that says 4/20.

And if it was october he would have been high while doing the press for The Way I Am.

I just realized that I took it the wrong way in the interview, he's not talking about his anniversary, he's just stating that he will be sober 18 months on 20th of December, which makes sense if he got clean on April 20th of 2008, that really is 18 months, LoL, sorry.
