Stunner: Sullivan Takes Leave From Congress, Enters California Alcohol Rehab Facility
Today, Congressman John Sullivan, R-1st District, released the following statement:
"Last night, I checked myself in to the Betty Ford Center in California to treat my addiction to alcohol.
"To ensure my success in this fight, I’ve decided to take a temporary leave of absence from Congress. I value my relationship with the citizens of Oklahoma’s First Congressional District, whom I am privileged and honored to have served for the past eight years. So, I wanted to be open and honest on this tough situation.
"I ask for your continued support and prayers as I face the challenges that lay ahead. I look forward to returning to serve and work for you in the House of Representatives as soon as possible.
"My family is going through a difficult time right now and I ask that you respect their privacy and keep us in your thoughts and prayers. With God’s help and strength, I will get through this most challenging time in my life."
