Hollywood actor and director Ben Affleck, who was treated for alcoholism, for the first time decided to comment on his addiction and stay in rehab.

On his Instagram page, the actor posted an open letter in which he spoke about his condition a month after rehabilitation.

In his message, Ben recalled that this week ended his 40-day stay in rehab, where he got rid of alcohol dependence. Next, the actor will continue treatment on an outpatient basis..

He also thanked the family, colleagues and fans for the invaluable support they have provided to him throughout this difficult time.. The actor also noted that it was this support that gave him the opportunity to speak openly about his problem.. "To put it in words what the support he received from family, colleagues and fans means to me. She gave me the strength to talk about the disease.. Fighting any addiction is a lifelong struggle. I fight for myself and my family. Many people turned to me in social networks to talk about their struggle with the disease. I want to thank them. And I want to be an example for them - for those who struggle, "- wrote the actor in the social network.

On Sundays, he and his wife, Jennifer Garner, and their children attend church services..

However, according to TMZ, it became known that Garner resumed the divorce process by submitting all the necessary documents.

Earlier it was reported that Ben and Jennifer for a long time could not definitively resolve the issue of parting, as they did not manage to completely decide with whom the pair of children would be left in the pair: 12-year-old Violet, 9-year-old Serafina and 6-year-old Samuel. Probably, now the decision on this issue has finally been made, and the divorce will still take place..

Recall that recently Ben Affleck was caught on a date with the Playboy model Shawn Sexton, who is also trying to support his beloved.
