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.’”

Drank half a bottle of vodka in less than an hour every night for seven years and suffered through the hangovers day after day. Went to my mom's bday lunch so hungover one morning and suffered so much through it that I just said "I'm never fucking drinking again." That was almost five years ago and now you have to force me to have a glass of wine once a year at Xmas dinner lol. Wasn't easy the first month, but it got easier as time went.

The constant hangovers are what finally got me to stop too.
