Eminem Covers GQ, Talks Addiction : “The bigger the crowd, the bigger the habit.”

Eminem, Lil Wayne and Keith Richards, are gracing the cover of the November 2011 issue of GQ Magazine. Titled, The GQ 2011 Issue: The Survivors, the issue hits stands October 25th. Peep an excerpt from Eminem:
On Em’s addiction and one of his experiences in Rehab:
“I’m very much a creature of habit…If I’m used to waking up in the morning and having one of these [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 I’m used to taking a Vicodin when I wake up in the morning because I’m hungover from drinking or taking pills…The bigger the crowd, the bigger my habit got…Look, every addict in rehab feels like everyone’s 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 offuckingidiots who aren’t even concentrating on their own sobriety because they’re so worried about mine. They’re stealing my hats, my books—it was chaos. Everything was drama in there. And at the time, I didn’t really want to get clean. Everybody else wanted me to. And anyone will tell you: If you’re not ready, nothing is going to change you. Love, nothing.”
On his childhood:
“I’m just this shy kid….And I get thrown into a classroom with more people I don’t know, and I’m going into my shell and I’m worried about how my shoes are bummy as fuck and I’m wearing Salvation Army clothes, and these kids are behind me and they’re making comments and whispering, and I don’t really know that they’re talking about my clothes but I feel like they are, and they’re talking about my haircut. I don’t even know how to speak up for myself, because I don’t really have a father who would give me the confidence or advice. And if you’re always the new kid, you never get a chance to adapt, so your confidence is just zilch. You’re thrown out there to the fucking wolves. Hence when N.W.A starts sayingFuckyou to the police and to everybody—’Fuckyou who doubted me’—holyshit, I want to say that.”
