None of his own disappointment in what a failure he is as a human being prevent him from thinking he knows the best way for all of us to live.

Hollywood, where they worst most deviant people in the world gather to lecture us on virtue.

A buddie was working on a movie set with Affleck and said he was a really nice normal guy. Also on the set was Cuba Gooding Jr. who he said is a total jackass.

Face it Ben, you ****ed up. And now you have to live with it. Just do what’s best for your children and respect their mother and it will be fine.

Is this the guy who had the photo of the Nanny on his lap in his private jet while she wore several of Tom Brady’s Super Bowl rings?

Yeah, I guess schtupping the kid’s help makes you a bad Dad in some places.

They are both insane Democrats, but I feel for ‘em. Jennifer seems like a good girl. Addiction destroys everything. Alcoholism is particularly destructive and difficult to set aside.

It sounds like he’s had his moment of clarity.

I know a few alcoholics, and its only when they can see themselves (and the chaos they have caused themselves and others) in completely objective terms, and as a 3rd party would see them is there a chance for a new start.

He seems a bit more levelheaded than Alec Baldwin.

Diane Sawyer snagged a big interview. I thought she had retired. What Ben said sounded very sincere, but I have to wonder if the entire interview and confession are not much more than an elaborate advertisement for his new movie; “The Way Back”, story of a recovering alcoholic.

All these kind and well chosen words, Ben could have told her face to face in private at any time. Nevertheless, it’s a good step for his family’s sake.

He went for the wrong Jennifer.

”People with compulsive behavior, and I am one, have this kind of basic discomfort all the time that they’re trying to make go away,” Affleck told the outlet.

Only by changing your standards and references to what is Forever and by following the advice and instructions in the Book can this happen.

Get “compulsive” about discovering your love for God, your wife and family, instead of being distracted by this basic discomfort you feel, and then see if that kind of basic discomfort doesn’t just disappear all by itself.

It works!

Always thought he is one of the most handsome and appealing actors of his generation. So disappointed in his past behavior; very sad for his wife and kids. I really hope he stays sober this time.

That he once thought he could drink socially after the first rehab and having grown up with an alcoholic father is just disingenuous in the extreme.

If you think you have the gene, people, just say no. You may not know until you start; and once you start, you may not be able to stop before you wreck your life, and those of the people who love you.

Most divorcees don’t say anything that kind or considerate to their ex-spouses. Let’s give him some credit.
