Ben’s First Stint in Rehab
Affleck revealed in a candid Facebook post in March 2017 that he recently completed treatment for his struggles with alcohol abuse. “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,” he wrote at the time. “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.” An insider told Us at the time that Affleck was “feeling great” and “hopeful for the future” after treatment.
