"I don't know at what point, exactly, it started to be a problem. I just remember liking it more and more," he says. This is exactly how it starts for the 1 out of 10 drug users who become addicts. Since 2,500 teens abuse a prescription drug for the first time every day, this means that 250 of them could become addicts!

Eminem's friends often questioned his drug use -- he sometimes even questioned it himself -- but it took a long time for him to come to terms with the fact that he was an addict. If you've ever had to question whether or not your own or a friend's drug or alcohol use is a problem, it might be.
