How Eminem overcame his drug problem by optimising his fitness ?

It’s not a secret Eminem had a drug problem in the past He said: “I was messing with Valium, Vicodin, Ambien and anything to help me to sleep. Basically I'd take Vicodin to get me through my day." He was in pretty bad shape and even had to spend time in rehab

He said: “When I got out of rehab, I needed to lose weight, but I also needed to figure out a way to function sober. Unless I was blitzed out of my mind, I had trouble sleeping. So I started running.”

At the age of 42, Eminem started running 17 miles a day. He said: "It gave me a natural endorphin high, but it also helped me sleep, so it was perfect. It's easy to understand how people replace addiction with exercise."

Research suggests, people who engage in regular aerobic exercise are less likely to use and abuse illicit drugs. Source:
