(Meredith/CNN) - Eminem has hit another milestone in his sobriety journey.
The 47-year-old rapper posted a photo to Instagram on Monday of his sobriety chip, marking 12 years of being sober.
“Clean dozen, in the books!” he wrote in the caption. “I’m not afraid."
Eminem, aka Marshall Mathers, has been public about his battle with prescription drug addiction.

Eminem went to rehab in 2005 to get treatment for his addiction to sleeping pills. But in 2007, he spiraled out of control again and was hospitalized for a methadone overdose.
It wasn't until 2008 that Eminem decided he wasn't about to lose himself to drugs. According to the New York Times, he checked himself into rehab early that year and started the full 12-step program of a recovering addict.
He got sober on April 20, 2008.
His albums "Relapse" and "Recovery" deal with his addiction and his comeback.
