"My father's addiction runs in my veins. I'll never fully escape it."
How it sounds in your head: You've fought it your whole life but it's there, lurking. One glass becomes two becomes the bottle. Your grandchildren will see the same struggle. Alcoholism is your birthright.

Your Father is clothing you in the robe of righteousness, celebrating your freedom that was already purchased. He's not watching you struggle—He's watching you walk in the deliverance that's been yours since the cross.
