You were mostly right. He admitted to having a problem and is going to seek help but did not admit to drinking.
He said that he was in treatment over Christmas and during the recess. Doesn't sound to me like treatment works with him.
And we should all give him a standing ovation for admitting his problem and support him for seeking help.... barf. No one held a gun to his head to pop pills or whatever. It's a disease!!! No, it's weak willed and lack of fortitude. Ah ha! FNC just said he had his wits about him to pull the get out of jail card - I'm on my way to vote in congress, blah, blah, blah. Yep, that just blew his little memory lapse.
