“It doesn’t really bother me to talk about alcoholism and being an alcoholic. It’s part of my life,” Affleck said during his appearance on NBC’s “Today” show.
“It’s something that I deal with,” he added. “It doesn’t have to sort of subsume my whole identity and be everything, but it is something that you know you have to work at.”
The actor continued, “I feel like I had a problem and I really want to address it, and I take some pride in that … It’s about yourself, your life, your family, and you know people — we encounter these kinds of hurdles and we have to deal with them.”
