MIAMI, Fla. (CBS 12) — Former Tallahassee Mayor and Democratic candidate for governor Andrew Gillum said he's entering a rehab facility.
"After conversation with my family and deep reflection, I have made the decision to seek help, guidance and enter a rehabilitation facility at this time," Gillum said in a release. "This has been a wake-up call for me. Since my race for governor ended, I fell into a depression that has led to alcohol abuse. I witnessed my father suffer from alcoholism and I know the damaging effects it can have when untreated. I also know that alcoholism is often a symptom of deeper struggles. I am committed to doing the personal work to heal fully and show up in the world as a more complete person.
Gillum said he'll be stepping away from the public for the foreseeable future.
