"I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront. 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," posted Affleck on his Facebook page.

Now as he was spotted in an LA rehabilitation center, it has become evident that even after eight months, he is still in rehab continuing efforts to curb the addiction.
