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

You should start by not calling him an addict and say a person with substance use disorder.

You are right - I want to let you know that live 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.
