“Sobriety is difficult and elusive for everyone struggling with addiction,” a source told Page Six on Sunday. “Ben has acknowledged he’s going to slip up from time to time … it was never as if this was simply behind him.”
The father of three has long been candid about his struggles with substance abuse, telling the “Today” show earlier this year, “It’s something that I deal with.”

I have been in recovery for over a year and part of that is helping out others. @themidnightmission is an incredible organization that helps those in need with housing, training, development and recovery. I’m making a donation today because there are people battling addiction every day that don’t have the resources and need help.”
In October 2018, Affleck thanked loved ones and fans for their support after he completed a 40-day treatment program.
