Ben Affleck on depression, addiction and how sobriety has made him happier

“I got sober in 2001 – I look at it as a JV version of what the problem is. I got sober for a couple of years… then I started drinking again every day…it is important for me to be sober now… I wasn’t who I thought I was. It was so painful and so disappointing… With sobriety I can understand more about depression and anxiety.” Ben Affleck
