Ben Affleck was spotted taking his kids to church in Palisades, Calif. this weekend after bravely revealing his struggle with alcoholism.
Affleck was honest about his struggles, saying, "I have completed treatment for alcohol addiction; something I've dealt with in the past and will continue to confront."
As RadarOnline.com reported, the Live by Night star cited other his reasons for his rehab treatment in a heartfelt announcement via Facebook on March 14. "I want to live life to the fullest and be the best father I can be." He later thanked co-parent Jennifer Garner for her support throughout the ordeal.
Now he's back on daddy duty!
"He was actually in rehab at the time of the Oscars! He got a pass out for that night to attend the awards," a source told RadarOnline.com.
As RadarOnline.com exclusively revealed, Affleck kept his treatment under wraps for quite some time.
The actor credited his children as one of the reasons he sought treatment in his bombshell rehab statement: "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."
Affleck, 44, was all smiles for the church outing, donning his favorite shirt as he held hands with kids Violet, 11, Seraphina, 8, and Samuel, 5.
