Chris Cornell’s daughter ToniCornell launches 'Stop the Stigma' initiative and pens a heartfelt letter about addiction.
to talk about how stigma stifles efforts to combat addiction and how family history impacts one's predisposition to the disease.
He learned from his mistakes and shared those lessons with us. He shared how he overcame his own anxiety, but then also shared that alcohol had dragged him back into drugs. He explained how that led to depression and using other drugs because it took away the fear associated with it. He taught us the importance of understanding addiction.
He tried to help others as well. Those who felt the stigma of addiction and were not able to understand that depression also comes when you “double up on depressants and your reality at the moment is not what’s really going on for you.” My family will never know true peace as there is nothing anyone can do to bring him back. But we will continue to honor him by sharing his message of hope and trying to spare others from suffering the same pain.
The science is there, now it’s up to us as a society to catch up in order to save lives and understand this is a disease and not some moral flaw.
