Eminem, Lil Wayne, and Keith Richards take the cover of GQs November 2011 issue.
Heres what the 39-year-old rapper, whos chronicled in a portfolio of survivors in rock, had to share:
On getting over an addiction to prescription meds: Im very much a creature of habit. If Im used to waking up in the morning and having [a Red Bull], 
I could do it every morning for the next ten years straight until I find something else to move on to. So if 
Im used to taking a Vicodin when I wake up in the morning because Im hungover from -drinking or taking pills
The bigger the crowd, the bigger my habit got.
On going to rehab in 2005: Every addict in rehab feels like everyones staring at them. With me? Everyone was staring at me. I could never be comfortable. There were people there that treated me normal. Then there were a bunch of fing idiots who arent even concentrating on their own sobriety because theyre so worried about mine. Theyre stealing my hats, my books - it was chaos. Everything was drama in there. And at the time, I didnt really want to get clean. Everybody else wanted me to. And anyone will tell you: If youre not ready, nothing is going to change you. Love, nothing.
On getting back to who he is on Recovery: On an emotional level, I want my music to connect with the same kid who I was. So it was like, Okay, let me get serious. Because I feel like Im being wrote off right now, and Im kind of on my last leg. I felt like the underdog again.
