鈥淗ad I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died," Eminem says of his lowest point.

Eminem is opening up about his drug addiction in聽the new documentary "How To Make Money Selling Drugs."

The 40-year-old rapper says he initially didn't think he had a problem because he was taking prescription pills prescribed to him by a doctor.

鈥淲hen I took my first Vicodin, it was like this feeling of 鈥楢hh.鈥� Like everything was not only mellow, but [I] didn鈥檛 feel any pain,鈥� he recalls.

But after adding Xanax and Valium to the mix, things quickly began to unravel.

鈥淚 don鈥檛 know at what point exactly it started to be a problem. I just remember liking it more and more," he admits. "People tried to tell me that I had a problem.鈥�

"I would say 鈥楪et that [expletive] person outta here,鈥欌�� Eminem recounts in the film. 鈥淚 can鈥檛 believe they said that [expletive] to me. I鈥檓 not out there shooting heroin. I鈥檓 not [expletive] out there putting coke up my nose. I鈥檓 not smoking crack.鈥�

Ultimately, Eminem was hospitalized and on the brink of death.

鈥淗ad I got to the hospital about two hours later, I would have died," he says. "My organs were shutting down. My liver, kidneys, everything.聽They were gonna have to put me on dialysis. They didn鈥檛 think I was gonna make it. My bottom was gonna be death.鈥�

"I'm looking at my kids and [realizing] 'I need to be here for this,'" he says in the film.

After a relapse and eventual detox, Eminem finally got his habit under control.

鈥淚 had to regain motor skills, I had to regain talking skills. It鈥檚 been a learning process, I鈥檓 growing," reveals the rapper. "I couldn鈥檛 believe that anybody could be naturally happy without being on something. So I would say to anybody, 鈥業t does get better.'

"My name is Marshall. I am an addict."
