Good for him for facing his demons!
Ben Affleck announced on Facebook today that he has recently completed rehab for alcohol-related issues. TMZ reports that the actor entered a treatment facility right after his appearance at the Oscars two weeks ago.
"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," he wrote on his page.
"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," he added.
The Batman star previously sought treatment in 2001.
