KURT COBAIN's Daughter Reveals She Is Two Years Sober
February 15, 2018
According to The Pulse Of Radio, Frances Bean Cobain, the 25-year-old daughter of Courtney Love and late NIRVANA frontman Kurt Cobain, has revealed that she has been sober for two years. In a new Instagram post, Frances said she had "decidedly and deliberately" kept her sobriety private, but decided to share her story as it "might be informative, even helpful to other people who are going through something similar or different."
She wrote: "How we treat our bodies directly correlates to how we treat our souls. It's all interconnected. It has to be. So I'm gonna take today to celebrate my vibrant health and the abundance of happiness, gratitude, awareness, compassion, empathy, strength, fear, loss, wisdom, peace and the myriad of other messy emotions I feel constantly... I only know what works for me and seeking to escape my life no longer works for me."
Frances concluded her post with the phrase "Peace, love, empathy," which her father used to close his suicide note. Frances said she intended to "reclaim" the phrase and "define it as something that's mine, filled with hope and goodness and health."
Both of Frances's parents publicly battled addiction. Kurt Cobain struggled with heroin and alcohol addiction up until his death at 27 in 1994, while Love spent several stints in rehab from the mid-'90s through the mid-2000s.
