“Having grown up in a household where my father battled addiction to alcohol and later died from complications from that deadly addiction, I know well the toll that alcohol can take on not only the individual, but also on the family,” Gillum said in the video on Instagram. “I know well the toll that it took on my father’s dreams, on his hopes, on his ambitions. And I knew that if I didn’t want to recycle many of those same issues for my children, that I had to do something about it and I had to do it now.”
