Frances Bean Cobain is opening up about her past struggle with addiction.
In an Instagram post made on Tuesday, Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love‘s only child explained why it was important for her to keep her battle private until now, while also sharing she’s two years sober.

Posting a short video she captured while in Hawaii with her boyfriend Matthew Cook, the 25-year-old captioned it:
“I thought I would start this post by using a pure moment in Oahu amongst nature, with my love. This moment is a representation of who I am on February 13th, 2018. It feels significant here, now because it’s my 2nd sober birthday. It’s an interesting and kaleidoscopic decision to share my feelings about something so intimate in a public forum. The fact that I’m sober isn’t really public knowledge, decidedly and deliberately. But I think it’s more important to put aside my fear about being judged or misunderstood or typecast as one specific thing.”
And while she doesn’t go into detail about her addiction, she continued:
“I want to have the capacity to recognize & observe that my journey might be informative, even helpful to other people who are going through something similar or different. It is an everyday battle to be in attendance for all the painful, bazaar, uncomfortable, tragic, fucked up things that have ever happened or will ever happen.”
As you’re probably aware, both Frances’ parents struggled with abusing drugs as Courtney was ordered into rehab in 2005, and her dad sadly passed away by suicide with high traces of heroin and Valium in his system.
She’s so strong for fighting this battle, and we hope she continues to stay on the path of recovery.
