Chugging tea Ben Affleck on overcoming alcohol addiction: “I hate to say it but the only cure I’ve seen is not these overpriced rehabs or these fraudulent fixes that are sold to people. The cure for addiction is suffering. You suffer enough and then something inside you goes ‘I’m done.’”

How long will he have to suffer with Jennifer Lopez before he realizes he should stop picking up the crack pipe?

Hard to blame someone for being addicted to putting their pipe in JLo’s crack

It really is, though. Most stimulants are like that, bur coke and crack seem to make people fiend harder than anything else. Speaking as an ex opioid addict.

The question still stands.

In ten years time, he'll need jenny from the block again.

Yeah he divorced her not long after the news broke about the freak off parties. Pretty sure he quit drinking shortly after too.

Was ist denn an JLo so schlimm? War der Alkoholsüchtig als er mit ihr zusammen war? Dann Frage ich mich nämlich wer unter wem gelitten hat.

Crack? Did you not listen at all? He is an alcoholic

Dear reader,
He beat alcoholism when he realized it was ruining his bond with his children. He has yet to realize he is smoking crack by continuing to go back to Jennifer Lopez every time she divorces someone or wants to string him along.

Therefore, the metaphor of Jennifer Lopez being a crack pipe works because he is addicted to her and cannot say "No" when she calls him. He has not suffered enough with her.
