“Friends, in my life I’ve witnessed too many people I love and admire fall prey to the awful disease of addiction. It can effect anyone!” she wrote. “If you are currently struggling with addiction, there are resources out there from therapy, treatment centers to rehab, and incredible 12-step programs many of which are online during these hard times.”

Elson urged her followers who are dealing with addiction or know people who are struggling to seek out help.

“Addiction is a disease, it should be treated as such. Sadly the social stigma that comes with addiction can plunge those suffering further into silence and denial. You are not alone.”
