On March 14, Ben Affleck took to Facebook to open up about his ongoing struggle with alcoholism.
“I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I’ve dealt with in the past and will continue to confront. I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be,” he wrote. “I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when you need it, and to be a source of strength for anyone out there who needs help but is afraid to take the first step.”
Insiders say Affleck reports feeling “hopeful about the future” and that he underwent treatment for the sake of his kids.
