IT’S not uncommon to hear a celebrity checked themselves into rehab. Unfortunately, fame and fortune bring with themselves many issues, and substance and alcohol abuse are a couple of them. This was exactly the case for Ben Affleck, who turned to the mind-numbing substances to escape the reality of his broken marriage and stressful career. However, the star has started his recovery process by completing a stint in rehab.

“I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I’ve dealt with in the past and will continue to confront,” Ben admitted in a Facebook post. “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.”
