My brother Philip is an addict, and bad parenting is often blamed for drug addiction. Well, my parents raised a Surgeon General, I think they did okay 
We need to recognize that addiction is a chronic disease not a moral failing. #CADCAForum @CADCA

Hey brother I am so happy to hear you telling your personal story and it is an amazing one to tell but please when referring to us that suffer from addiction with non stigmatizing language such as “person with a substance use disorder “ or a person that suffers from addiction “
You are right and I want to let you know that tweet was incorrectly transcribed and for that I apologize. I would NEVER use language that may contribute to stigma. Addiction is a chronic disease and NOT a moral failing.
