We feel for him.
Ben Affleck's has been wrestling with his demons for months, and apparently the driving force behind his addiction is the different roles he feels he must play in his life.
"He’s battled addiction for a long time now. Ben’s been famous for most of his life. He was young when he became famous and part of a fun, rebellious crowd. He didn’t grow up or away from it and doesn’t know how. He’s really never been alone," a source dished to People.
"I think Ben struggles with being two people, being the family man and also having that need to be the consummate cool kid. Even though it has become more socially acceptable to be sober it is still tough in an industry and surrounding press that deem it ‘cool.’ You have to be okay with being sober and for Ben it’s a lifelong battle," the source added.
It sounds like he needs to find some sober buddies in Tinseltown! Maybe he could give Brad Pitt a call?
