In August 2011, Monteith, 30, opened up to Access Hollywood about his past struggle with drinking and drugs at the age of 19 and explained why he decided to speak out about his addiction battle.
“It’s important for me to kind of provide an example [and] lead by example and kind of use my experience to inspire others,” he told Access at the time “Maybe if someone else reads that and sees someone struggling with some of the same issues they’re having trouble with [and] made it through [that] it’s possible to make it through.”
