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?

    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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  12. 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…

    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.

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

    Very sad if true.

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

  17. 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.

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

  27. Ben Affleck

    If he doesn’t want to stay in rehab he needs to hire a 24/7 sober coach and go to AA meetings regularly. If he doesn’t cut this shit out he’s going to lose his kids

  29. Ben Affleck.
    What will happen is that he will re-enter rehab when he’s good and ready if ever, not when someone else wants him to. I’ve come to realize some time ago that I don’t care much for the whole intervention method. You can’t control another adult’s actions, even when it’s destructive. Best thing to do is disengage.

  30. Sadly this is Ben Affleck… If it doesn’t fully commit to the rehab program he will fall in a very dark spiral

  31. Man: could this be anybody else other fast food drive-thru fan who just spend 2 weeks in rehab: BEN AFFLECK?

  33. Ben Afleck, recently seen leaving rehab to work out at his private gym.

    Optional: He’s going to die or lose everything if he keeps this up. He has to want to get better and stick with the program so he can be there to watch his kids grow up.

  35. Frankly, at this point I don’t care what happens to Ben. I will feel for his kids if he kills himself, but I just have no sympathy for him at this point.

  36. Ben Affleck
    He’s been leaving rehab to go “work out” at home.
    Optional: He’s going to be drinking himself into an early grave. Career will dry up worse than it already is, will probably lose his house, become homeless or living with someone. An out-of-work, alcoholic actor.

  37. Ben Affleck

    Ben is going to die from alcohol poisoning, leaving Jen a rich widow. Maybe that’s why she is dragging her feet

  38. Aaron Carter based on similar blind and “his way” makes me think of the Backstreet Boys song “I want it that way”

  39. Very obviously Ben Affleck.

    Optional: he will get worse and worse. He already has aged about 20 years in five short years. He seems to want to indulge in every single thing that sets his pleasure meter off. Does he truly think he’s superior or is he doing this to set himself up for failure, so he can quit the program? Oh, and I think he’ll get Playgirl very pregnant very soon.

  50. Ben Affleck.
    He will leave rehab and die a horrible death from alcoholism. Very sad. Jennifer is helping him for their children’s sake.

    • Who knows the damage that he’s already caused to his body, and it will come back to haunt him someday.
