Ben Affleck Reveals he’s Undergone Treatment for Alcohol Addiction: ”I want my kids to know there is no shame in getting help when they need it”
Celebrity dad and actor, Ben Affleck, who was battling alcohol addiction and had to seek help has revealed that he has completed treatment for alcoholism.
The “Suicide Squad” star made the revelation in a post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, March 14, 2017, where he also revealed he had been dealing with the addiction for years.
“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. 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.”
“I’m lucky to have the love of my family and friends, including my co-parent, Jen, who has supported me and cared for our kids as I’ve done the work I set out to do. This was the first of many steps being taken towards a positive recovery.”
The pair announced their separation in 2015 after a decade of marriage but are yet to divorce and both still remain on good terms.
