On April 6, attorney John Sweeney plans to mark four years of sobriety, without dwelling on the fact that years of hard drinking took him from the halls of Congress to the Saratoga County Jail, where he served 16 days for drunken driving.
But the man once dubbed "Congressman Kickass" by President George W. Bush is back in the community, practicing law, doing pro bono work with homeless veterans and indigent clients, talking to Drug Court graduates, enjoying his seven children, maintaining a small solo practice, doing some political consulting and preparing to host a daily talk radio show starting Feb. 11 on Albany station WGDJ, 1300 AM.
