He Wants It His Way Or Not At All

[Blind Gossip] When he finally agreed to get help for his problem, the people around him were happy and relieved.

They can’t be too happy right now.

He’s pushing back against everything in the program. He thinks he’s special and smarter than everybody here and that the rules don’t apply to him. He doesn’t show up to group [therapy] and he hates the other group activities. He said that he was checking out unless they let him do things his way. He’s over 18, so they can’t force him to stay. I guess they think it’s better to let him come and go and treat him special rather than kick him out for good. I doubt he’ll make it through the program.

In general, you cannot force an adult to go to rehab and you cannot force an adult to stay in rehab.

Since he wants everything his way, maybe he could find a rehab drive-through?

  1. Ben Affleck… you can’t make anyone do anything… he’s gonna have to hit real rock bottom to see how serious it is

  9. Ben Affleck. Saw on a website where he went home to “exercise”. He has no intention of actually working through his problems. Garner needs to cut him loose and tell him next time drive himself to rehab. An alcoholic can’t be helped who doesn’t want help.

    “In general, you cannot force an adult to go to rehab and you cannot force an adult to stay in rehab.” —- says it all

  11. I assume this is Ben Affleck. Heard his latest enabling gf’s car was spotted outside his home.

    Very sad if true.

  12. Ben Affleck

    I read he goes home every day to work out on his own equipment. Even with a sober coach, it’s only a matter of time before he falls off the wagon.

  14. Oh Ben…..

    You cant help someone who doesn’t want to be helped…

    Maybe…maybe if Hollywood wont insure him for projects he will have to come to terms, but more than likely he’ll just relocate to Vegas and spend all his money on hookers and craps…

  18. Ben Affleck. It’s interesting though, bc I am in recovery myself (Got 3 years clean on July 4! Still can’t believe it.), and I only went to inpatient, classic, “28-day-stay” rehab once, but I *was* in my early 20s, and all patients had to be over 18 to stay there. HOWEVER, you had to “sign your rights away” within moments of coming in. To the point you had to legit ESCAPE if you wanted to leave early. I guess since he’s a celeb, they let him in wo doing that. Hope it doesn’t affect the others.

  19. Messy Ben Affleck. He clearly didn’t want to go and only went to get Jen off his back. Now that she’s off in NYC doing press for Peppermint Ben has been on the loose. Who needs to go home to “work out” when The Canyon has a state of the art gym, horses, spas, etc. He went home to meet up with the 22-year-old Playmate girlfriend. Her car was at his house while he was home. He’s probably boozing again and clearly doesn’t care about getting clean.

    He’ll probably just leave the program and continue to do what he’s been doing. It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to live a clean and sober life.
    He needs to take a good look at himself in the mirror. He looks terrible.
