Ben Affleck: "I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction"

Other | Thursday 16th March 2017 | Idrees

Addiction is something that can affect anyone, causing problems in someone’s or even their loved one’s lives.

The cliché saying is the first step of solving a problem is admitting you have one, but it is quite frankly the truth.

This is something that actor Ben Affleck isn’t afraid to admit.

Affleck recently posted on Facebook that he has recently completed a stint in rehab, for alcohol addiction.

Affleck has previously gone to rehab in 2001, as we found out from The Hollywood Reporter cover story.

"I went to rehab for being 29 and partying too much and not having a lot of boundaries and to clear my head and try to get some idea of who I wanted to be," Affleck said in a 2012. "It was more a 'let me get myself straight,' before it became a rite of passage."

Affleck and wife Jennifer Garner announced in 2015 that they would be separating, although no divorce has been finalised at the moment.

At this moment, we can hope Affleck gets the help he needs and that his words inspire others dealing with something similar to seek for help. It only takes one step.
