        At least he had the courage to come right out and admit it. That takes guts. I don’t agree with his politics but I wish him well in his difficult battle against addiction.

        I can't blame the guy for stepping down. I mean when he gets to, I think the 4th step he has to tell the truth about how he really feels about #Trump he'd loose his Job anyway. Good for you, Rep Garrett get Clean and Join the truthers. (People who tell the truth).

        Good for him...Battling addictions is hard. Even harder to admit to them on such a huge public level. Hope he gets the help he needs

        I’ve never had an addiction but it fascinates me how the brain can just own you like that. That “drug” hits that pleasure center and for some people, they’re done. Good thing he admitted it now work on getting clean. Good luck.

        Wasn’t he the guy whose chief of staff just quit and all those who worked for him felt like slaves? I think it was politico story.

        I’d be an alcoholic too if I had a conscience of guilt from passing cruel legislation that rewards the top 2% and takes Medicaid away from seniors...
