Ben Affleck was permitted to leave recovery for the merry season.
The 45-year-old performer registered with an obscure office toward the start of the month to look for treatment for his substance mishandle and, in spite of the fact that he considers his projects important, he was offered authorization to solidify his arrangement so he could go through Christmas with his kids – Violet, 12, Seraphina, eight, and Samuel, five, whom he has with irritated spouse Jennifer Garner – and his sweetheart Lindsay Shookus.
As per the New York Post daily paper’s Page Six section, Affleck was spotted tucking into a delectable dinner at Nobu in Malibu, California, on Tuesday.
The sources said Affleck remained calm all through the dinner yet is relied upon to come back to his recovery office toward the start of the year to finish his treatment.
Affleck first looked for treatment for his substance mishandle in 2001 and finished a moment program not long ago, before coming back to the middle for help in December.
A source stated: “Affleck’s main priorities have never wavered. He’s focused on his family and spending time with Shookus. Dealing with this disease is something he’ll have to work on for the rest of his life and he remains focused on it.”
It comes after the Justice League star posted on Facebook to state he was seeking help for his issues in order to show his kids there is “no shame” in getting help.
He wrote at the time: “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.
“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.”
And just last month, sources claimed Affleck understands that his struggle with alcoholism is an “ongoing battle”, but insisted he was “making strides toward recovery”.
They said: “He has learned that dealing with his addiction is an ongoing battle. He understands he cannot just wake up one morning and say, ‘OK, we’re all done.’ Treatment is like a job… The good thing is that he’s making strides toward recovery. Friends and family have never seen Affleck so proactive and serious about wanting to get better.”
