Debated has raged on social media whether Ben Affleck's angry rant on US television was from a passionate Patriots fan or a inebriated celebrity.
"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."Â
He thanked Jennifer Garner, 44, whom he split from in 2015 after 10 years of marriage, for her support and taking care of their three children - Violet, 11, Seraphina, 8, and Samuel, 5 - while he worked on his issues.
"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," he added.
Quoting unnamed sources, People claimed earlier this month that Affleck and Garner were working on their marriage. It was widely reported at the time of their split that he allegedly cheated on Garner with the family's nanny, Christine Ouzounian.

Affleck said the decision was made in consultation with studio Warner Bros. amid concerns he couldn't fulfil both roles simultaneously.
"There are certain characters who hold a special place in the hearts of millions," Affleck said in a statement to Variety. "Performing this role demands focus, passion and the very best performance I can give."
